Northern Monk has collaborated with Sheffield sauce institution Henderson’s Relish to produce ‘Bloody Mary Porter’.

Leeds-based Northern Monk has today launched ‘Bloody Mary Porter’, a beer many thought was an April’s Fool’s prank when it was unveiled at the start of the month.

The Henderson’s Relish Bloody Mary Porter is a 5.0% rich, lightly smoked porter inspired by the savoury cocktail, infused with subtle spice and finished with relish.

The beer is brewed with Henderson’s Relish, cayenne pepper, ancho chilli and Szechuan pepper. 

Russell Bisset, founder of Northern Monk, explained: “Henderson’s Relish is without a doubt one of Yorkshire’s most-loved brands. It’s a true Northern institution.

“The way this product has united the Sheffield community is an inspiration. Like us, they came from humble beginnings, but through hard work, a consistent product, and clear focus on their local area, they’ve built a legacy. Here’s to the next 100 years of Hendo’s.”
