When is frozen custard not frozen custard? When it’s “research!” One of my latest Ballpark Mysteries books features a frozen custard mystery set at the Brewers Stadium, so I need to stay up-to-date on custard flavors when I’m visiting Milwaukee. I can report that Kopps Red Raspberry and Swiss Chocolate were amazing! Milwaukee Brewers
