Weddings are feminine (think pink?) and sweet (think doughnuts) so why shouldn't this ale be the perfect drink for a groom's big day? (why just the groom's? because no bride would touch the stuff!)Rogue's Bacon Maple Ale, a bold fusion of doughnuts, bacon, maple syrup and alcohol is with us, for better or worse, and is creeping into taps and it's signature pink bottles now. We can all give thanks it's not pink in color once it's poured!
OK, I know, it looks like Pepto Bismal, and it sounds like something you'd need Pepto for after you drank it. But you have to give the folks at Rogue credit, it is DIFFERENT! I'll be the first to admit I have not tasted this Bacon Maple Ale. I will also say it certainly is...uh...unique? Yes I think that's the word I'm looking for. Of course I haven't tasted the doughnuts it's based on either. I'm a jelly doughnut girl.
But it seems Rogue Ales got together with the folks at Voodoo Doughnut to create this unusual tasting ale. What's in it? 2 of the ingredients are bacon and maple syrup from Voodoo's signature doughnuts. I'm obviously not set out to be a creative brewer, the combo would never have occurred to me.
A 750ml bottle runs you $13 plus shipping so I doubt you'd want to serve it at your wedding brunch, but hey, sure would be fun to see the groom's eyes widen when you offered him this to drink while he's getting ready for his wedding. Should make a great photo!
Some states won't allow you to order ale (or any other alcohol) by mail, so check before you order.
