Heim Barbecue’s bacon burnt ends are the stuff of local legend. Soon, North Texas drinkers will be able to savor the flavor of this Fort Worth delicacy in a new beer.

Martin House Brewing Co., the same company you have to thank for this summer’s pickle beer, recently teamed up with barbecue restaurant owners Emma and Travis Heim to create Bacon Burnt Ends Stout, an original beverage inspired by those famous cuts of meat.

The 7 percent ABV beer is not brewed with barbecue, so it’s still considered vegetarian. Instead, brewers smoked malt in Heim’s smoker before seasoning the brew with the restaurant’s signature spice blend and brown sugar. It’s then aged with bacon fat-soaked oak staves for a flavor described as a little sweet and a little smoky with a spicy kick on the back end, according to Shugg Cole, Martin House’s director of marketing. Holy smokes!

The brewery is hosting a Bacon Burnt Ends Stout release party in Fort Worth on Thursday, Dec. 5, where $10 buys a pint glass and four 8-ounce pours of beer. It’ll be available on draft at both Heim Barbecue locations beginning Dec. 6.
