Planning on breaking out a jar of mayo and going straight in with a spoon? Well, do we have the drink for you! Duke’s Mayonnaise has teamed up with Virginia’s Champion Brewing Company to bring you the perfect beer to pair with their mayonnaise.
Even if you’re not making the radical decision to go full mayo monster and eat it straight up, this beer is apparently custom designed to be a brilliant accompaniment to a BLT lathered in creamy mayonnaise. The beer is named ‘Family Recipe’, a nod to the original recipe for Duke’s Mayonnaise dating all the way back to 1917. In fact, Duke’s still uses the same recipe today!
From the sounds of it, this beer is American down to the core. Rebecca Lupesco, Duke’s Brand Marketing Manager of Mayohem told brewbound.com: “The spirit of this collaboration truly encapsulates the Duke’s brand – it’s bold, southern, and a little saucy.”
But how should I enjoy this beer you may ask…? Rebecca’s got you covered there: “Champion has perfected the art of beer and food pairings with Family Recipe – sun-ripened, juicy tomatoes, crispy bacon, lots of Duke’s mayo, and a refreshing sipping beer is basically what summertime is made for.”
How insightful, Duke’s Mayonnaise. We truly feel a mayonnaise brand has taught us something new about life. If not for a refreshing sipping beer, what is summer made for?
The Vienna-style lager comes in at an ABV of 5.1% and is made with Vienna salt, Magnum, and Saaz hops. If you’re looking to pick up a Family Recipe, you can bag a 4-pack NOW on Champion Brewing Company’s website for $12.99.
They’re only available in the US right now, so please do tell us how it tastes if you get the chance to try it!
