Bizarre Beer of the week #6: Seaweed Beer

davenumero6 (38) in beer • 7 years ago

Some beers are just... well.... weird. In this series I will feature the most bizarre beers out there. Some might have unusual ingredients, others might have a strange colour and more others might actually be just as interesting to taste as they are bizarre.

In today's episode: Seaweed beer.... in for a salty story?

Kelpie Seaweed Ale

Well, Stout beers are probably the best beer style to do some experimenting with from time to time. But this is really a rather unusual ingredient for a beer. Kelpie Seaweed ale can be described as dark chocolate with coffee & malt. Along with the saltiness of the seaweed.

If you know a thing or two about chocolate, you probably already know how awesome chocolate with a grain of salt in it can taste. That is the taste this beer is aiming for.

The idea actually originates from the old Scottish ale houses who used seaweed to fertilize their barley fields. But for this beer, the seaweed is used directly in the brewing process. The seaweed is harvested along the Argyll coast. They mash it along with the barley.

Brewery: Williams Bros. Brewing Co.
Beer style: Seaweed Ale / Stout
Alcohol: 4,4 %

Seaweed isn't that unusual in beer, it just people don't mention it. In fact many home brewers will add a tablet called Irish Moss, at the end of the boil which helps in head retention. What they probably don't realise is that Irish moss is made from seaweed.

Consider that your useless fact of the day....

Useless facts usually work well in bars. So thanks anyway. :-D

Hi @davenumero6,

you did a great post, but you did not add this as a comment to the weekly #beersaturday post - means you don't want to win some SBD? I can't believe this.
