Brooklyn’s bacon brew

Brooklyn Brewery is experimenting with flavours to create the world’s first bacon beer.

Brooklyn Brewery: bacon beer

The brewer has smoked its malt in the same room as some bacon and it plans to brew barley wine with the malt.

It has also infused brown ale with the flavour of bacon fat using a technique known as fat washing. The bacon-infused ale was then aged in Bourbon barrels.

Eventually the bacon-smoked barley wine and the bacon-fat-infused ale will be blended to create the world’s first bacon brew, which will be ready for tasting at the end of September.
