Mmmm… Yorkhire puddings, quite possible the best part of a Sunday roast in my opinion.. well, that and the crispy roasties, anyway, I digress. Basically, Northern Monk brewery up in Yorkshire (Leeds to be exact) came up with the idea of producing two brand new beers with some of our most nostalgic foods in mind.
The first, a brown ale named Sunday roast (5.7%) contains both Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes from Aunt Bessies, which are added into the mash tun. I’m not sure what they do to the flavour, but given my fondness for both of the above, I’d be willing to give it a try.
The second, for those with a sweeter tooth is aptly named ‘Roly Poly’ after your favourite childhood desert. This 5% jam and custard pale ale is influenced by a variety of Aunt Bessies frozen puddings including those with strawberry, apricot and plum.
After the crumpet beer produced by Warburtons earlier this year, it seems themed beers of this nature are becoming a more frequently observed thing.
Yours today for £3.50 a can or £6 for a two-course dinner two-pack.
