WATCH: How to make Percy Pig beer
Two things are as quintessentially British as Percy Pigs and ale.
So it should come as no surprise that a UK vlogger has dreamed the impossible dream and combined the two for a truly British beer.
The blogger, known as Beer Uncapped, posted a video to Youtube charting the labour-intensive six-week brewing process.
“Percy Pigs are one of our favourite sweets,” the blogger said, “so we thought, how about we make it into beer.”
“The best part is… you can do it at home!”
The home brewer used wheat and pilsner grains for the base brew, along with two packets of Percy Pigs, maple syrup and hibiscus teabags to enhance the sweet flavour.
Thanks to its high sugar content, the Percy Pig Beer comes out at a strong 6% ABV.
The recipe makes 12 bottles of sweet-inspired beer.
Beer Uncapped’s founder told the Press Association: “I’m a hobby vlogger and home brewer who’s been brewing for about two years. I love Percy Pigs and, after a tipsy conversation with a mate, I wondered if I could put them in a beer.
“I love beer and I love Percy Pigs so it seemed like a great combo. So, in my spare time, for a bit of fun I’ve been refining this recipe. I was doing beer reviews and thought I would make a snazzy video of how to make the beer.”
