When it comes to culinary chemistry, few combinations ignite the senses quite like the marriage of burgers and beer. In a bold exploration of taste and creativity, Fat Hippo, the reigning champions of the burger realm, and BrewDog, the pioneering Scottish craft brewers, have embarked on a mouth-watering collaboration to push the boundaries of gastronomic delight.
Notorious for their innovative and daring food creations, Fat Hippo has dazzled taste buds with quirky concoctions like the “Aperol Chickz’ spritz burger” and the viral sensation “Kelloggs’ Crunchy Nut Chicken Strips.” Now, in partnership with BrewDog, they unveil their latest masterpiece: the Glasgow Kiss—a culinary ode to Scotland’s vibrant flavours and BrewDog’s bold brews.
Crafted with meticulous precision, the Glasgow Kiss boasts Fat Hippo’s signature beef patty nestled alongside a square Lorne sausage smashed patty, cheese, fried haggis crumb, HP sauce, Fat Hippo sauce, and pickles. Accompanied by a side of mini Cajun Tattie Waffle Squares, the pièce de résistance lies in the BrewDog Black Heart Cheesy Stout Gravy—a savoury symphony featuring caramelised onions simmered in Black Heart stout, stewed with mozzarella, and served in a bespoke Fat Hippo x BrewDog can.
Showcasing BrewDog’s modern stout, Black Heart challenges preconceptions with its rich notes of roasted malt, espresso, and cocoa—a perfect match for Fat Hippo’s flavourful creations.
Michael Johnson, Fat Hippo’s Operations Director, expresses, “Our specials allow our team creative freedom to explore new flavours and ingredients. Black Heart’s rich profile perfectly complements our signature taste experience.”
Lauren Carrol, BrewDog’s Chief Marketing Officer, echoes the sentiment, stating, “We couldn’t turn down the chance to craft our iconic Black Heart stout into a ludicrously delicious gravy. Working with Fat Hippo, we knew Black Heart would complement the burgers perfectly.”
With stout experiencing a surge in popularity, the Glasgow Kiss promises to captivate craft beer enthusiasts and burger aficionados alike. Available exclusively at all 17 Fat Hippo locations from March 5th to 27th, diners can savour this culinary masterpiece via Just Eat, UberEats, Deliveroo, and Fat Hippo’s in-house Click + Collect service.
Embark on a gastronomic journey unlike any other with Fat Hippo x BrewDog’s Glasgow Kiss—a fusion of bold flavours and unmatched creativity.
