You Can Now Get Two-Course Roast Dinner And Jam Roly Poly Beers

Aunt Bessie's has joined forces with Northern Monk brewery to create two-course, roast dinner beers. And I'm honestly sure if that idea is genius or disgusting.

So, if you've ever knocked back a can and thought, 'that was nice, but I wish it tasted more like roast potatoes' then your time has finally come because Sunday Dinner is a 5.7 percent Roast Dinner Brown Ale that is brewed with Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes.

For dessert, there's a Jam & Custard Pale Ale, based on Aunt Bessie's Jam RolyPoly. The 5 percent beer is brewed with plum, apricot and strawberry - the same flavours as in the roly poly - and custard to 'round out the flavours'. OK, well, that sounds pretty good.

The two companies have been working on the recipes for months and this is the first time a brewery and a food manufacturer have collaborated to create a two-course meal in liquid form.

Speaking about the collaboration, Founder of Northern Monk, Russell Bisset, said: "It's been an honour working with Aunt Bessie's, a truly iconic Northern brand.

"There's nothing quite like a Sunday Roast with all the trimmings, and on a weekend where we'd usually be getting together with our families for a traditional Sunday Dinner, we've teamed up to bring you something a little different.

"We've worked together to create something that's never been done before, and we hope that it brings some well-needed positivity to the nation."

Sam Dolan, Head of Marketing at Aunt Bessie's, said: "There's nothing like coming together with loved ones over a roast dinner and a cold beer, and so to join forces with a fellow Northern brand to create something which has never been done before is really special.

"We're sure Aunt Bessie's fans are going to love the combination of a two-course roast dinner beer and as we celebrate Aunt Bessie's 25th birthday this year, what better way to mark the occasion?"

Both beers launched yesterday on the Northern Monk online shop and will set you back £3.50 a pop or you can get both as a two-course dinner pack for £6. You can buy them here, if you're keen.
