Bread-maker Warburtons has collaborated with Toast Ale on another brew of their crumpet beer — but with a new recipe.
Crumpet Table Beer (2.8% ABV) transforms surplus crumpets, that didn’t quite make the cut, into a refreshing brew.
Toast Ale, which brews only with surplus bread products, replaces some of the malted barley in the beer with crumpets, extracting starches and sugars and breaking them down into fermentable sugars, meaning the crumpet does more than just flavour the beer.
Darren Littler, innovation director at Warburtons, said: “We’re thrilled to announce the return of a brew made with crumpets, following the overwhelming response in February this year. We’re so happy to be able to use an innovative way of utilising our ‘wonky’ products, whilst celebrating the nation’s love of crumpets in a whole new way!”
Louisa Ziane, chief operating officer at Toast Ale, added: “We had such an amazing response when we first launched our crumpet beer, so we couldn’t be more excited to be back with a new crumpet brew. Our mission remains to brew beer that is planet-saving and palate-pleasing, and this brew does just that.
“As a British staple, they bring something hole-y different than our bread-brewed beer, with a unique taste. We hope everyone loves this new crumpet beer as much as we’ve loved brewing and tasting it!”
