Whilst many go for the traditional toppings of jam, butter or honey for their morning toast, now, your breakfast can be taken to the next level by adding beer to your bread. Yes, you read that right. Spreadable beer, often referred to as beer jam, is a thing and apparently it tastes quite delicious.
First created in Italy by chocolatier Pietro Napoleane and the Alta Quota brewery, Beer Sparmabile is originally made with a significant 40% alcohol content. However, as one food critic explained, there is little to no alcohol content left in the spreadable beer as most of the alcohol evaporates during the boiling process, meaning that luckily for beer lovers you can have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The jar comes in two different flavours: Greta (Blonde Ale) which is described as having a delicate flavour while the second, Omid (Dark Ale) has a more intense aroma and a stronger taste. The spread is made from mainly beer and sugar, offering a marmalade texture and the same malty taste of beer, minus the alcohol of course.
Taking to Reddit, many users on the r/beer discussion forum expressed their delight with the combination. One user described it as a "Fantastic thing" while another said: "Looks really tasty, would love that with wine or beer."
Although, if you're looking for a thicker consistency then beer jelly may be the spread for you and the best part is that it can be easily made at home by boiling beer with sugar then combining it with pectin. After allowing it all to set, you should be left with a substance that tastes similar to the original.
