Alan Coxon's Ale-Gar Range Mediaeval Old English 15th Century "Ale-Gar"(tm) After ten years of development and research I am proud to have created a totally new and Unique product for the global  markets. My unique Ale brew used to produce “AleGar”(TM) has been recreated using an original 15 th century Mediaeval old English Ale recipe. The Ale-Gar™, with its deep dark colour and hints of chocolate, cinnamon and roasted malt has a unique flavour, as well as being the biggest Ale-turnative to a Balsamic vinegar in its history, it’s also a perfect "Ale-Turnative" to a Worcestershire sauce or even a healthier Ale-Turnative to a soy sauce ! .All the ingredients are specifically sourced for quality and are all natural with no additives, colorants or undesirables whatsoever.The ultimate healthy seasoning and dressing all rolled into one !. History In Mediaeval England, wine was limited to Royalty and nobility, whilst Ale was widely consumed by all ages of the general population at every meal - even breakfast.(Queen Elizabeth 1st apparently drank 2 pints of Ale every morning !)What wasn`t drank was naturally turned sour, leaving a good supply of ale-gar,( gar being an narrative of the French word “aigre” meaning sour ,) to use as a condiment and preservative as well as for medicinal purposes. Flavour For my "AleGar" (tm), I have used a traditional mediaeval ale recipe, but I have incorporated Chocolate Stout Malt, to tantalise today's more sophisticated and adventurous palate . The Ale-Gar is then fermented over oak to bring out the full flavour and smoothness and stored to mature to round off the flavour and balance  Use Use it in the same way as you would a Balsamic, or instead of Worcestershire sauce or an Ale-turnative to a soy sauce. It is a general seasoning and is extremely versatile. It is created to enhance flavour , not to mask or hide. "Alegar"(tm) can be used as a salad dressing, As a beef marinade. Reducing and drizzling, Add a tablespoon to a bolognaise sauce. Add a tablespoon to a beef casserole Drizzle a little onto cheese on toast drizzle over oysters Use as a dip for Tempura Add to a tomato sauce   use as a marinade for fish and meat Use as a dip for bread with a little olive oil Add to venison/game stews Add a splash over beans on toast Drizzle over a tomato and mozzarela salad   etc..etc.. The list is endless , but don’t forget less is best and you can just increase to taste , let the Ale-Gar do the rest.  sauces and table condiments,   Health possabilities May also assist with weight loss when incorporated in a low fat diet.
