Blending Beers: Share Your Experiments

Best Black & Tan. FW DBA & Velvet Merlin.

 

Rubaeus and Breakfast Stout worked pretty well for me, I think BCBS and Rubaeus would work even better.

 

I mixed my Westy 12 with a bud light for a tastey black and tan.

 

I mixed a Dreadnaught with a Zombie Dust and a Dark Lord then I pissed in it!!! Best beer ever. Swear to God!!!

 

I can't drink Prairie Somewhere by itself but it makes a great addition to other wild ales that just don't have enough funk for me.

 

Second the 120/WWS - had at a bottle share; mighty tasty

 

Besides a good Black and Tan...this has always helped "the next morning" if needed...

Wtf that was weird and funny

 

cheese cake for the last 1.
never had the first 1

 

The funnier part is that he was a bit hurt doing this joke video.

 

Two parts Youngs Double Chocolate Stout and 1 part Lindemans Framboise...

 

Jagermeister makes me want to die

 

Yikes ! sorry man . . . What I'm really trying to accomplish is the black licorice flavor in Uintas Labyrinth.

 

ST Choklat + Cigar City Brewpub Malted Milkball Peanut Butter Stout = Damn close to a Reece's Peanut Butter Cup

I imagine this would work well with any decent peanut butter stout.

 

I normally don't blend unless a beer is undrinkable on its own, but I accidentally mixed Clown Shoes Blaecorn Unidragon + Great Divide Chocolate Yeti. The vanilla from the Unidragon complimented the chocolate and oak flavors of the Yeti perfectly. Both beers were pretty good by themselves, but together they were great.

 

One of those is a deadly poison meant only for being poured into a drain, the other is drano.

 

Okay what's going on with with everyone's desire to mix there beer now? Stouts with IPAs , IPAs with IPAs , etc? I get the framboise with young's double chocolate but a IPA with a IPA .......... Yuck!! Please shed some light ...

 

I can say that some beers are magical together. I will also say that most beers would never go together or should be mixed at all. And some are simply to expensive and/or impressive to mix, and should be enjoyed solo.
But there is magic to be made here, each according to his or her own taste.

 

I won't do it. IMO, if you're mixing beer with beer, you should be drinking better beer to start with. A great beer stands on its own.

 

Are not the Firestone Walker Anniversary beers blended beers? They seem to have turned out all right. I see nothing wrong with experimenting with blended beers as long as you recognize that not every experiment is going to turn out well. But as FoamInnovation said above, sometimes there is magic to be made with blended beers.
