IF you like a bit of crumpet you can now enjoy it in beer form — thanks to Warburtons.
The Bolton bakery has teamed up with London brewery Toast to create the the light session IPA using the wonky crumpets which didn't make it onto supermarket shelves.
Darren Littler, head of product innovation at Warburtons, said: " We’re thrilled to announce an innovative way of utilising our ‘wonky’ products whilst celebrating the nation’s love of crumpets in a whole new way.
"Not only are we proud that Crumpet Beer is our first non-baked product we’ve ever launched, there’s nothing ‘butter’ than this cold brew teamed with a plate of warm crumpets."
James King, marketing and brand manager at Toast Ale, comments: "Our mission remains to brew beer that is planet-saving and palate-pleasing, and we couldn’t be more excited to venture into the world of crumpets.
"As a British staple, they bring something hole-y different than our bread brewed beer, with a unique taste.
"We will continue to toast change and hope everyone loves this new Crumpet Beer as much as we’ve loved brewing and tasting it!"
Toasted Crumpet IPA uses crumpets in place of malted barley.
It is part of Warburtons' aim of cutting down on food waste.
The limited edition 4.2% ABV beer is available from the Toast website, priced at £28 for a pack of 12 300ml bottles.
