Thanks to everyone who entered, this competition has now closed
It’s here – our tenth birthday! And to mark a decade of travel-and-food blogging, we’re running a series of competitions, with some amazing prizes, so you can help us celebrate.
Beer made from artisan bread?
Absolutely.
Pale ale from sourdough?
Don’t mind if I do.
And now, introducing … (drum roll) …
Naan Laager, made from unsold, wonky flatbreads.
We love the ethos of Crumbs Brewing, producing a range of delicious beers using unsold loaves from their local bakery in Surrey.
• Crumbs! Brewing great beer from leftover bread
They’re on a mission to make waste wonderful (bread is the second most wasted food in UK households), while adding to the character and flavour of each of their brews.
Now Crumbs co-founder and ‘Chief Crumber’, Morgan Arnell, says they’re taking their ‘beer from leftover bread’ campaign to a new level.
‘We’ve been exploring the idea of a light, refreshing lager for some time. All our beers are very distinct from one another, and it was the obvious gap in our range. That kind of beer is perfect with spicy food like a curry, so it made a lot of sense to explore using naan bread in the brew.’
They spoke to several manufacturers and found that ‘wonky’ naans that didn’t make the grade in production and unsold naans left on retailers’ shelves were simply going to waste.
So the team set to work, with chef and writer Hari Ghotra, to get exactly the right recipe.
‘To be honest, a classic ‘curry house’ lager isn’t the most complex of beers. The key for us came when we added the humble Nigella seed, which gives the beer a deliciously refreshing, almost floral, finish that cuts through spice beautifully.’
There’s naan-thing quite like it!
So, how about tasting some for yourself?
