Bake’n Bacon And Evil Genius Beer Team Up On A New Bacon-Inspired Ale

Everything goes better with bacon – including a new bacon-inspired beer by Evil Genius Beer Company in collaboration with Black-owned restaurant and food truck Bake’N Bacon

In 2019, Bake’n Bacon quickly became the buzz in the food truck scene with their bacon-exclusive menu. Now, hot off the heels of the announcement of their new restaurant located at 1148 S. 11th Street, Bake’n Bacon has revealed that they are partnering with another Philadelphia-based brand to create a truly iconic product, a limited-edition, bacon-inspired beer brewed in collaboration with Evil Genius Beer Company.

Evil Genius Beer, founded in 2011, prides itself on its “Very Silly Names for Very Serious Beers” mantra and has quickly become recognized for its witty beer names often citing fan-favorite movie quotes, hilarious memes, and timeless song lyrics. Over the past few years, the Philadelphia-based brewers have been in the spotlight with major collaborations among industry leaders such as Auntie Anne’s, White Castle, and Sheetz. Now Evil Genius is going back to its roots and sharing the spotlight with the savory up-and-comers from Bake’n Bacon.

“When we heard about a bacon-themed food truck we knew we had to try it. So we invited the guys from Bake’n Bacon out to a food truck festival at the brewery and instantly hit it off. Between both of our delicious offerings and iconic branding we knew we could make something truly unique”, said Trevor Hayward, co-founder of Evil Genius.

The beer, dubbed, Tast-E Bacon is a riff on one of Bake’n Bacon’s best-selling desserts, the sweet and savory combination that is the chocolate-covered strawberry topped with bacon crumbles. Tast-E Bacon, a 5.0% ABV ale, was brewed with a base of smoked malt for that sweet bacon-tasting note and lightly hopped to let the addition of all-natural chocolate and strawberry flavors shine through. Evil Genius notes that no actual bacon was used in the brewing process so the beer is safe for everyone to enjoy regardless of their dietary restrictions.

“2023 has been an exciting year for us”, said Bake’n Bacon founder Justin Coleman. “We’re opening our first brick-and-mortar restaurant in South Philadelphia later this Spring and we get to debut our first beer collaboration along with it. This collaboration has been super fun and we are so excited for everyone to try it. We also can’t wait to pour it at our bar when our restaurant opens in South Philly later this spring or summer. But more on that soon.”
