Buzzed Bull Creamery was founded in 2017 in Cincinnati, Ohio by Colten and Keith Wainscott, who envisioned blending two beloved indulgences—craft cocktails and artisanal ice cream—into a single, exciting experience. Their concept centered on using liquid nitrogen technology to create freshly made, customizable ice cream while also offering alcohol-infused options for adults. This innovation allowed Buzzed Bull Creamery to stand out in both the frozen dessert and hospitality markets.
The first location opened to strong local enthusiasm, quickly establishing the brand as a pioneer in alcohol-infused desserts. The franchise has since expanded across multiple states in the USA, growing from its Ohio roots to nearly a dozen locations and counting. With a franchise system in place, Buzzed Bull Creamery continues to attract investors and entrepreneurs looking to tap into the booming $70+ billion ice cream industry and the $250+ billion alcoholic beverage market.
