TWØBAYS has released its GABS 2022 festival beer in the form of a 5.5% abv almond milk porter infused with vanilla.
“Our beers are gluten free and vegan,” says CEO and Founder Richard Jeffares, “but as we don’t use lactose in any of our beers (many gluten free consumers also avoid lactose), we decided to use almond milk to create this creamy beer.”
“We’re all about everyone being able to access the dark arts and delights of every craft beer facet. And there is nothing like the creamy, silky texture and winter flavours of chocolate, almonds and vanilla coming through in a beer. GABS is always great fun, but it’s designed for people who can explore a whole world of beer. The gluten free world can’t do that as easily, so we’re bringing the experience to them.”
Featuring toffee, fig, chocolate, toasted almond and vanilla flavours, the Almond Milk Porter is available now.
