Camden Town Brewery Marmite Beer. A smoked beard friendly beer
As veteran beer writer and beard wearer Roger Protz has noted if you like Marmite you’ll like Camden Town Marmite beer.
It’s a 4.8% smoked beer (made with Rauch malt and Perle hops) sold in 330ml cans. One hopes some might also appear on draught.
Marmite is a by-product of brewing (as Protz underlines) and yeast comes from Burton brewers to the Marmite factory there.
In this case Marmite has been added back into the beer. That doesn’t make it taste like Marmite but there is a saltiness on the back of the tongue that is in part related to that.
It’s the time of year for darker smoked beers and whether you love Marmite or hate it this is a decent example of the style.
Is it beard friendly? Certainly, it has passed the test. A small amount will nourish the beard follicles, although its best off being poured into one’s mouth, slowly of course to savour the taste.
