Bacon Beer does exist! You can get your fill of it at the Front Street Ale House/San Juan Brewing Company in San Juan, Washington. The Bacon Beer they brew is considered an American Pale Ale and is rather low in alcohol at only 3.1%. Its a "pale ale infused with lean bacon". They also brew a pepper beer called Ale Diablo.


Pity I'm in Australia, but that page has a link to a Bacon Beer recipe:

Why have I not found this sooner?

(Hi, BTW. My name is Spodorama, and I'm an Aussie woman who likes beer and bacon. Nice forum you have here!)

Welcome aboard! :cheers:


mmmmmm bacon. I think nailing down a good smoked beer is a good challenge for any brewer. Making it taste like bacon is just going for bonus points.

Welcome,

Hey, didn't one of the last issues of BYO have a bacon beer recipe in it? Actually, I just checked and it does.

I had a bacon beer when I was in Chicago earlier in the year at Goose Island.

It was an interesting concept, but I think I have ordered my last. I like bacon and I like beer. Together.....not so much.

It was interesting but I was happy I ordered the bourbon barrel aged doppelbock instead :D

There are lots of bacon beers being made out there. IMO, the most successful don't have any bacon at all, just smoked malt and high sodium. I find the ones with real bacon are oily (no head retention) and have a nasty stew kind of flavor. I had one recently made by Uncommon Brewing that was made with uncured pork belly. It was some of the most foul stuff I have ever ingested (and I've eaten/drank some nasty shit before).

Bacon does NOT make everything better (just most things).

Thanks very much for the welcomes! :cheers:

Bacon beer is an awesome idea, but probably can't live up to expectations, although I'd still like to try it.

Bacon is best chewed, not sipped. :)


What sort of beer would go well with this?
