Bacon Beer

Beer + Bacon.....Hmmmmm

Brooklyn Brewery’s Garrett Oliver is  working on a beer that (1) takes barleywine made from malt that’s smoked in the same room as Allan Benton’s bacon and (2) combines it with brown ale that’s been infused, via “fat washing” (mixing a melted fat with alcohol, then chilling the mixture into a solid and skimming it off), with the taste of Benton’s bacon fat. 


Oliver says “Either this will be the most amazingly disgusting thing you’ve ever tasted in your life. Or I shall rule the earth."
