So… Do you love it? Or… Do you hate it?
That’s probably a question you’re tired of being asked about Marmite, especially since there’s always one friend who says “Actually, you know what - I don’t love or hate Marmite…”. Well be tired no more, as Marmite now has a brand new product for us to make small talk squabble about. Camden Town Brewery, who have been praised over their modern can design and tasty beers, have just announced their collaboration with Marmite to create the world’s first Marmite Ale!
Though it might sound crazy, beer and Marmite are closer in composition than you might think. Marmite includes beer yeast in its production, so putting Marmite back into beer isn’t really very unusual at all! If you know a Marmite hater who is at the same time a beer lover, you might want to let them in on that fact and see if they change their ways. Beer on toast anyone?
Camden Town Brewery have combined the Marmite with smoked Rauch malt, pilsner, Munich and Perle hops from the brewery’s ever-loved Hells Lager to create this new ale. It’s also not just a Marmite flavouring that’s added to the ale, but the real glossy sticky stuff itself - so Camden Town Brewery are NOT skimping when it comes to the flavour in this concoction. The flavour is said to be not just Marmite-y but also smoky, bready and rich - so ale lovers listen up!
As Marmite’s savoury flavour seems to lend itself to an ale, we’re honestly quite excited about this launch. Camden Marmite Love Hate Ale is now on sale but as it’s a limited edition we’re thinking people are going to be buying it up fast - so pick up your pack today!
