Campervan Brewery has announced that their popular Extra Black, is now available as the first gluten-free nitro porter in a widget can. 

This groundbreaking, delicious beer uses cutting-edge technology with an aim for accessibility and is said to be the world’s first gluten free Nitro Porter in a widget can

In a statement, the company said that Extra Black is not just another beer; it’s a revolution in a can. For the first time, beer enthusiasts, including those with gluten sensitivities, can enjoy the luxurious texture and flavours such as dark chocolate and cold-press coffee.

Thanks to the widget can, Extra Black delivers the smooth, creamy mouthfeel and visible cascade normally found only in draught beer, now available to enjoy at home.

They added that the development of Extra Black is the result of Campervan Brewery’s commitment to quality and innovation. Due to limited information and guidance surrounding Nitro Porters, the Campervan team completed several trials on how to nitrogenate it, how to package it and how to ensure bars could dispense it.

The brewery has now invested in more accurate lab equipment to ensure they can offer a high quality, consistent product. The addition of a liquid nitrogen doser on their canning line and the widget can ensures a perfect pour every time, with a velvety head and balanced carbonation.

Patrick Smith, production manager at Campervan Brewery provided some tasting notes: “Extra Black is a full-bodied porter, with a dense cream-coloured head, featuring small and tight nitrogen bubbles.

“In the aroma, dark chocolate, cold-brew coffee and milk chocolate digestives combine, thanks to a combination of six malts. Extra Black is a smooth beer, with an aftertaste of dark chocolate and biscuity malt”.
