Craft beer in a … pie?
The first batch of Four’N Twenty craft beer pies rolls out on Friday.
The pies are a nimble twist on a Four'N Twenty, spiking Australian Angus beef mince with three distinctly different flavour variations, peppered beef pie with dark stout, smoky-style beef pie with pale ale and classic beef pie with golden ale.
The craft beers are all sourced from local Grand Ridge Brewery in Gippsland, Victoria.
Grand Ridge Brewery founder, Eric Walters is an Angus beef farmer come brewer who was very selective on what pie brand he partnered with.
Four’N Twenty selected to work with Grand Ridge Brewery based on its local and International reputation for consistent top-quality beers.
“We research, listen to consumers and give them what they want. With the craft beer pie, we wanted to make sure it was unique and something new that all Aussies will love,” says Anand Surujpal, General Manager - Marketing & Innovation.
Would you try a pie made with craft beer? What other taste combinations would you like to see in future?
Yes I definitely would. We first tasted steak and ale, steak and stout and cider in an East London gourmet pie shop while on holiday. Loved their beef bourguignon and would really like to see it here too.
