Burgers and beers go hand in hand, and that’s why Independent Scottish brewery BrewDog has teamed up with burger giant Fat Hippo to create a mouth-watering, limited-edition meal you never knew you needed.
This spring, the Glasgow Kiss burger will pay homage to the iconic flavours of Scotland by combining Fat Hippo’s signature beef patty alongside a square Lorne sausage smashed patty, cheese, fried haggis crumb, HP sauce, Fat Hippo sauce and pickles.
Served with a side of mini–Cajun Tattie Waffle Squares, the crown jewel of the collection is undoubtedly the BrewDog Black Heart Cheesy Stout Gravy; a savoury symphony consisting of caramelised onions simmered in Black Heart stout, stewed with mozzarella and served in a bespoke Fat Hippo x BrewDog can. This Scottish showstopper is set to become a firm favourite among foodies nationwide.
Showcasing the craft brewer’s modern made stout, Black Heart begs you to question everything you thought you knew about stout and what you think it tastes like. Claiming ‘It’s not so black and white anymore’, the new stout on the block stands as a serious competitor, rivalling even the most iconic names out there. Offering a bold and distinctive flavour, with its rich, complex notes of roasted malt, espresso and cocoa, this smooth and creamy elixir made for the dream ingredient for Fat Hippo’s BurgerLab team.
BrewDog’s chief marketing officer, Lauren Carrol, said: “We’re no stranger to exuberant burgers in our bars, but we couldn’t turn down the chance to lean on Fat Hippo’s expertise and craft our iconic Black Heart stout into a ludicrously delicious gravy.
“Working with the brilliant minds at Fat Hippo, we always knew Black Heart would complement the burgers and it’s great that we can continue our pioneering efforts in the food and drink space together.”
Fat Hippo operations director, Michael Johnson said; “Our specials really allow our team the creative freedom in exploring the latest flavours and ingredients to find new ways to showcase the iconic Fat Hippo taste experience. With Black Heart’s rich flavour profile it naturally complimented our signature meaty flavours and helped to create a perfectly balanced burger. It’s been a pleasure working with a forward-thinking brand such as BrewDog.”
Fat Hippo x BrewDog’s Glasgow Kiss, Cheesy Stout Gravy and Tattie Waffle Squares will be available 5th-27th March, exclusively at all 17 Fat Hippo locations for dine in as well as on Just Eat, UberEats and Deliveroo and on their in-house Click + Collect service.
