Some friends of mine who have been brewing a long time made a Smoked Bacon Porter last february. I can't remember exactly how they did it, but it was delicious. The bacon flavor was very subtle which was great, cause if it was over powering, as much as I like bacon, that sounds gross haha.

My bacon porter was actually quite good after about 4 months in the bottle. Before that the flavors hadn't settled down. It wound up with a strong and distinct bacon character. Also, quite salty.

After reading that, what about soaking cooked bacon in bourbon, freezing/refrigerating to remove the fat, and then adding it to something like a bourbon smoked porter?

If you wanted maple, could it just be added after fermentation is complete, then bottle/keg, and once the carbonation is right, crash cool it and keep it below X temperature to stop fermentation until its time to serve?

'Bacon Explosion'

- crumbled pan fried bacon / shredded cheese / hot sauce, rolled in a sausage meat sheet, rolled in a weaved bacon sheet, smoked in a smoker.

Basically, a Bacon wrapped bacon and sausage pinwheel.

Posted before, but for posterity's sake:

THE MEATINI.

That said, I wonder what possibilities exist in getting someone bold enough to try using other meat-products?? Spam is obviously out of the question, but I'm heavy on exotic stuff like kangaroo & alligator jerky from Oz-land, or even ostrich (which is actually in abundance in the southwest US, and surprisingly lean in terms of fat content...).

Tried a bacon belgian at a beer festival a year ago. It was excellent...not at all what I expected. I ended up going back for a full glass. BSed with brewer for quite awhile, but can't remember how he added the bacon.

I put bacon in primary for a Bacon/Maple stout that was/is AWESOME!!! With all the maple it ended up being 10%+.

I had posted a thread on here a while back for a bacon porter. I haven't had the money to make it yet. I've talked to a few people who have tried bacon flavored beers before and they said they were awesome...

Rogue has done Collaborator with a donut shop in Portland known for their bacon maple bars. It's a bacon maple ale. I'm going to have to track it down!
