Gordon Ramsay to match Scottish Oak Aged Beer with Veal
An Edinburgh brewer behind the world's first oak-aged beer is preparing for major growth after winning the backing of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.
Dougal Sharp, founder of the Innis & Gunn Brewing Company, was invited by the fiery chef to help him brew a version of the beer at his London home on his TV programme The F Word.
After the brewing process was featured on this week's episode, the beer is currently being allowed to mature for 30 days in whisky barrels that provide its distinctive oak flavour. It is then to be served up with a veal main course on the final episode of the series.
Ramsay is using the Innis & Gunn product to show how well quality beer can be matched with fine cuisine.
Gordon obviously has good taste as Innis & Gunn is one of our favourites!
What's your favourite tipple?
