What Makes Our Imperial Stout Vinegar Unique?

Imperial stout is a bigger, bolder, and higher-alcohol version of standard stout, boasting an ABV of over 8%. It is brewed with twice the amount of all-natural ingredients to withstand the long journey to the Russian Imperial Court. This rare gem is celebrated today with a golden crown on our label.

While this traditional brewing process is more costly, we believe the expense is worth the reward. The result is an outstanding dark stout with phenomenal character and taste. We partnered with Wellington Brewery in Guelph, Ontario, to source their Imperial Stout. Ian worked his vinegar-making magic to bring you this treat. He insisted that his vinegar be 100% natural, with no additives whatsoever. This stands in stark contrast to popular commercial malt vinegars, which are often laced with sweeteners like corn syrup or food coloring.

Imperial Stout vinegar enhances the richness and depth of flavors.

Elevate Your Cooking with Imperial Stout Vinegar

Our Imperial Stout Vinegar takes your culinary creations to the next level. Here are some delightful ways to incorporate it into your cooking:

• Umami-rich Dishes: When sautéing mushrooms, add a splash to the pan to deepen and amplify their earthy flavors.

• Seafood: Use the tanginess of Imperial Stout Vinegar to balance the oiliness in fried or baked fish.

• Sauce Flavor Base: Incorporate it like aged balsamic or Chinese black vinegar to provide a rich, layered, and tangy flavor to marinades, sauces (think dumpling dipping sauce!), or dressings for Caprese or bean salads for a zesty kick.

• Beef Stew: Transform a hearty cold-weather beef and root vegetable stew by adding 1/4 cup of Imperial Stout Vinegar instead of your regular Guinness.

  
  

The Art of Pairing Vinegar

Pairing vinegar with food is an art. It can enhance flavors, balance dishes, and even elevate the simplest meals. When using our Imperial Stout Vinegar, consider the following tips:

• Complementary Flavors: Think about the flavors in your dish. The rich, deep notes of the vinegar work beautifully with roasted meats and hearty vegetables.

• Experimentation: Don’t be afraid to experiment! Try it in unexpected places, like a chocolate dessert or a fruit salad. The tangy notes can surprise you.

• Balance is Key: Remember, vinegar is potent. Start with a small amount and adjust to your taste.
