Campervan Brewery have announced that their popular beer, Extra Black, is now available as the first gluten-free nitro porter in a widget can.
For the first time, beer enthusiasts, including those with gluten sensitivities, can enjoy the luxurious texture and flavours such as dark chocolate and cold-press coffee, says the brewer.
Due to limited information and guidance surrounding nitro porters, the Campervan team completed several trials on how to nitrogenate it, how to package it, and how to ensure bars could dispense it.
The brewery has now invested in more accurate lab equipment to ensure they can offer a high quality, consistent product. The addition of a liquid nitrogen doser on their canning line and the widget can ensures a perfect pour every time, with a velvety head and balanced carbonation.
“Extra Black is a full-bodied porter, with a dense cream-coloured head, featuring small and tight nitrogen bubbles,” said Campervan production manager Patrick Smith.
“In the aroma, dark chocolate, cold-brew coffee, and milk chocolate digestives combine, thanks to a combination of six malts. Extra Black is a smooth beer, with an aftertaste of dark chocolate and biscuity malt.”
