STEAM WHISTLE BREWERY
Pilsner, 5%
Steam Whistle is one of the only remaining breweries in the world that still adheres to the strict standards of the Bavarian Purity Act of 1516, using only pure spring water, malted barley, hops and yeast. Brew Master Erica McOustra is a nine year veteran of the Steam Whistle family and the brains and taste buds behind this award-winning beer. It’s her job to make sure that everything that goes into Steam Whistle Pilsner is of the best quality, to make the best brew.
SONNEN HILL

MALTY HOPPY DELICACIES
Black Garlic & Dark Ale Beer Jelly
Black garlic is a type of “caramelized” garlic.
During the caramelization process, the garlic flavour gets softened. As a result, there is a beautiful balance of sweet and savoury yield notes of molasses, chocolate, and dried fruit, coupled with tangy hints of balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, tamarin, and hearty mushroom/umami flavours.
We have decided to pair this beauty with the iconic Imperial Russian Stout from Wellington Brewery. Why?
The Imperial Russian Stout from Wellington has a rich and complex prune- and date-like sweetness; chocolate and coffee notes are also present. There is a lot of flavour in this beer, and the taste is influenced by the aroma – dark/dried fruits, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, and molasses.
This beer style is the perfect pairing for black garlic; they create a savoury, complex, and flavourful jelly.This Beer Jelly is the perfect pairing for Italian-style charcuterie, rillette, terrine, foie gras and game meat. It is also a great pairing with salty feta or creamy blue cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano, pecorino, and other hard cheeses like aged Gouda.
Think aioli, mayonnaise and use it as a spread for your sandwich (steak sandwich, prosciutto sandwich, etc.) or try a new version of the deviled eggs.
And why not enjoy this delicacy with a dark chocolate mousse for a “Je ne sais quoi!”
