Marmite is a brand that isn't afraid to be unabashedly divisive and the brand teamed up with London brewery Camden Town to keep people talking about its product with an all-new Marmite-flavored ale. The appropriately named Love Hate Ale combines pilsner, Munich, smoked Rauch malt and Perle hops from the brewery's classic Hells Lager. Naturally, the yeast spread was added to the mix, which is said to create a smoky flavor.
The beer will only be available for a limited time and it can be found in packs of four that are perfect for sharing and discussing the flavor experience among friends. Naturally, the responses to the announcement have been mixed, just as the name of the flavored beer suggests.
