Vindaloo beer, offal ale and bacon beer - brewer creates weird beer for every week of year
An inventive brewer with a taste for the unusual raised a glass yesterday after unveiling 52 unique food-based ales – one brewed for each week of the year.
Helston's Offal Ale - one of the 52 beers with weird ingredients brewed by Stuart Howe (SWNS)Stuart Howe’s tipples include Shellfish Stout – made with oysters, cockles and mussels – the super-strength Barley Tikka Vindaloo and the offal-based Heston’s Offal Strong Ale, which incorporates chicken liver, kidneys and lamb heart.
Also in the mix is the super-strength 'Turbo Yeast Abomination From Hell', which is an impressive 22 per cent proof.
‘I appreciate they will not suit everyone and some have been a disaster but it’s been an interesting experiment,’ said the 38-year-old from Rock, Cornwall.
Taste test: Stuart Howe with some of his unusual concoctions (SWNS)Stuart says: 'My favourite is probably a citrus fruit beer. I used seven different types of citrus peel as the flavour - there isn't very much of that one left.'
He added: 'And I have a hallucinogenic beer with wormwood and other botanicals coming up in a few weeks. I'm really looking forward to that.'
The head brewer says that his next ambition is to make beer using ‘blood plasma’, if he can find a hospital willing to give him some.
