This Beer Is Brewed With Grilled Chicken Seasonings

If you’ve ever enjoyed beer can chicken, then Perdue Chicken wants you to hold its… beer.

The chicken titan has teamed with New York’s Torch & Crown Brewing Company to launch Perdue Beer Can Chicken Beer, a honey double-citrus summer ale brewed with American ale yeast, citra hops, lemon and orange puree, honey and grilled chicken seasonings like rosemary, thyme, and pink peppercorn.

“Beer can chicken has long been one of the most popular methods of grilling poultry, but we noticed a lack of consensus on what type of beer is best,” said Julie Lehman, Perdue Vice President of Marketing.

Beer can chicken is a method of indirect grilling that involves pouring beer into a food-grade roasting stand and then standing a chicken upright and cooking it using a grill or smoker. Not only does the brew infuse the bird with flavor, marinating it from the inside out, but it keeps the chicken moist and tender during the cooking process. According to Netbase, online conversation around beer can chicken grew by nearly 20% over the last 12 months.

Starting May 22, six packs of Perdue Beer Can Chicken Beer will be available for purchase at Beercanchicken.beer for $14.99 plus shipping and handling.
