Independent Scottish craft brewer BrewDog says it is championing inclusivity with a relaunch of its food menu across its UK bar network. As part of this, the brewery will be collaborating with Next Gen plant-based pioneers TiNDLE, as they launch for the first time in the United Kingdom.
Founded in 2020, alt-protein food company TiNDLE entered into restaurants and kitchens across the globe, and has now joined with BrewDog in trying to showcase how good chicken substitutes made from plants can be. This partnership with TiNDLE will mean that more than half of the dishes on offer in every UK BrewDog Bar will be plant-based, and served alongside a core beer range which is 95 per cent vegan friendly.
Among consumers in the United Kingdom there is a growing interest in reducing meat consumption. In fact, data recently found that vegetarians account for seven percent of the UK's population, while pescatarians account for five. The UK market for meat substitutes is already worth over 500 million euros, making it the largest in Europe.
Chad Crooks, BrewDog’s director of food, said: “At BrewDog, we believe in the alternative way of doing things. That is why our new menu is so exciting; it is the culmination of months of looking at every aspect of our food offering. TiNDLE focus on quality, flavour and sustainability every bit as much as BrewDog.
"Having more than half of our options suitable for vegetarian and meat eaters who choose to eat plant-based is incredibly important to us. Our new UK menu has something for everyone. It just doesn’t get any better than that.”
The BrewDog 'Clucky This Time' vegan chicken burger will now feature TiNDLE crispy chicken patties, and will be joined by the Carolina Chicken burger consisting of a TiNDLE crispy chicken patty loaded with heritage tomato, red onion and Carolina mustard BBQ sauce. BrewDog is also introducing a range of healthier sides, giving encouragement for those looking to switch out fries for something such as green salad, spicy cleaver smashed cucumbers or harissa chickpeas & smoked almonds.
The menu revamp will also focus on bowl food, with all-new salads such as the Heritage tomato and baby mozzarella or the new Protein Power bowl. These can be enjoyed straight up or with added protein (chicken or a plant-based alternative).
Furthermore, BrewDog has also announced a new partnership with award-winning Hackney Gelato on a series of all-new desserts. Look out for their new take on the classic Banana Split, Strawberries & Cream and the mighty Oreo-heavy Cookie Monster.
