Bacon-flavour Beer

The Agogo

Ever had Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier? It's a smoked beer.

While I like the taste of beer, and the taste of bacon, this beer sums up the best of both worlds tbh.

What make yous of it? If you've ever tried it?

Yup I have had it manys a time, a friend of mine used to live in Bamberg where it is brewed

It does indeed have a taste like smoked ham/bacon

it is an excellent beer and you can get it here in some of the better off licences, it needs to be served well chilled

They also do a heavier darker smoked version which is not unlike a smoked guinness, it can take a while to drink being so heavy but it is worth it (think it comes with a black label)

*legs it too the car and off the off licence

Seriously this sounds great my old man had it before and said it was nice.
I`m defo trying that today, Now if only they made bacon flavoured,whiskey,milk and bread :pac:

It`d obviously go down a treat with bacon fries

Lovely stuff, Redmonds of Ranelagh and Drink stonybatter both carry it along with other good offies.

Bacon flavoured beer? Does it get any better?

Yes it does. Yes. It does.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that sounds rank.
Why would you want to drink it when you can eat it?

It might sounds rank but it tastes excellent

Also what is wrong with eating bacon whilst drinking bacon flavoured beer?

In fairness, the bacon flavoured beer is a bit misleading as it is not bacon flavoured at all. It is just brewed using smoked malts so some peoples brain interprets that as smoked bacon as that is the closest it can come up with to compare.

I brewed a smoked mild once and my wife said it tastes like bacon

I've had that beer, and tbh it's bloody awful. Tastes like drinking from a beer-soaked ashtray.

I have order from then shipping was very good, i think it worked out around 2.5 per bottle for 12 of them or you can keg 5 litre kegs


But they did mess up the order and i end up with 2 free-ish kegs (5L) of 6,5% Ur Bock, so bit of a win win

www.drinkstore.ie will deliver.

You can sometimes get it in Superquinn too.

Ah I find some bacon sandwiches or curry cheese bacon chips goes down well with a nice cold pint of Heineken.

I'm pretty sure I've had a Bratwurst beer - had a Stein of it by my vague recollections. I think it was an interesting flavor at the start, but is heavy going getting through that much of it.
