Pudding and beer: Introducing Pud

Beer enthusiasts and connoisseurs of delectable desserts, rejoice! St. Ives Brewery has crafted a truly extraordinary creation that combines the rich flavours of a classic dessert with the beloved beverage we all know and love. Enter Pud, a Sticky Toffee Pudding Stout, a remarkable concoction that tantalises the taste buds and pays homage to the artistry of both brewing and culinary delights.

Imagine a velvety, full-bodied stout with a luscious, caramel-infused aroma that dances on your palate. Pud delivers just that and more. Inspired by the classic British dessert, this stout showcases the perfect balance between the deep, roasted maltiness of a stout and the sumptuous sweetness of sticky toffee pudding – a dessert fit for a MasterChef.

We take immense pride in our meticulous brewing process, and the Sticky Toffee Pudding Stout is a testament to our commitment to quality. Head brewer Callum has masterfully combined premium malts, including roasted barley, to create a robust base. They then infuse the beer with natural toffee flavours and hints of vanilla, carefully calibrated to achieve a harmonious blend that mirrors the essence of the beloved dessert.

The mention of MasterChef may evoke images of talented chefs showcasing their culinary prowess, but the artistry and innovation behind the Sticky Toffee Pudding Stout make it a worthy companion to any MasterChef dish. This beer stands as a testament to the creativity and boundary-pushing flavour combinations that both brewers and chefs strive to achieve. Its complexity and unique profile make it a truly unique Cornish beer.

Just as a MasterChef contestant seeks to create a perfectly balanced dish, Pud provides endless pairing opportunities. Its bold, caramel notes complement a range of flavours, making it an excellent accompaniment to savoury dishes like slow-cooked beef or hearty stews. Alternatively, for those with a sweet tooth, it pairs wonderfully with desserts like chocolate fondant, crème brûlée, or, of course, sticky toffee pudding.

St. Ives Brewery's Sticky Toffee Pudding Stout bridges the gap between the worlds of brewing and culinary artistry. With its deep, roasted maltiness and luscious toffee flavours, it captures the essence of the classic dessert while offering a unique and memorable beer-drinking experience. As you savour each sip, you can't help but appreciate the dedication and creativity that went into crafting this remarkable brew. We raise our glass to you, Callum – great work.
