Beer and doughnuts might seem more like a Homer Simpson combo than, you know, something in the real world. Perhaps the rest of us need to a bit more open-minded – that’s obviously the attitude of Tottenham-based brewer Beavertown, which is making a ‘pastry-inspired’ beer.
Created in collaboration with doughnut chain Crosstown, Beavertown’s Pastry Stout is a limited-edition hybrid released as part of the brewery’s ninth birthday celebrations. It sits pretty at 12 percent ABV and apparently features ‘notes of vanilla and caramel’, which either appeals to your sweet tooth or really, really doesn’t.
But doughnut beer isn’t the only wild collab to mark the anniversary. Other brews feature the tastes and influences of Bombay-inspired restaurant chain Dishoom, pitta chip company Soffles and radio station Worldwide FM.
There are even a few partnerships with actual breweries: Beavertown is working with Leeds-based Amity Brew and Cumbria’s Lakes Brew. The celebrations will be topped-off with a Birthday Blast Off party: an all-you-can-drink romp at the Beavertown Brewery.
On paper, a lot of that looks a little wild – but it’s definitely got us curious.
Tickets are available for Beavertown’s Birthday Blast Off here, and you can explore Beavertown’s special-edition beers at its online shop.
