Blending Beers: Share Your Experiments

Jack & Ken's Black Barleywine & The Abyss

The first above I mention was 5 years ago. The last 3 were within the last 10 months.

 

ST's Creme Brulee mixed with just about any other stout is fantastic! On it's own Creme Brulee is a bit overpowering but put about a 20/80 mix with any other stout and it is out of this world. Kasteel Rouge mixed with stouts is also another delicious combo.

 

-Agreed on all counts. On it's own, I can do maybe 3-4 ounces of Creme Brulee in lieu of desert, but mixing it with other stouts is great. Mixing Creme Brulee or Southern Tier's other ones, "Choklat", "Jah-Va", and "Mokah" with their "Oat" are perfect candidates. All five mixed together would be great I'm sure. Sweet, but great.

 

Tonight I'm going to do a 50/50 mix of Narwhal and Celebration Ale - I'm going to call it a NarNar. I really enjoy blending beers. Anyone else out there in BA land enjoy mixing beers together? ...if you never have, give it a shot....

 

NarNar?

Why not CelNar, or NarCel. I would think NarNar is just Narwahl mixed with Narwahl?

 

Shouldn't it be called Narration Ale.

 

Stopped at the Harpoon Brewery in VT yesterday. Had some fun with the beertender.
Sampled:
Chocolate stout W/UFO Pumpkin. Burnt pumpkin.
Chocolate stout W/UFO Raspberry. Dark chocolate covered raspberries.
Winter warmer w/cider. Apple pie.
Chocolate stout W/ el Triunfo coffee porter. My choice for the full glass.

 

At Victory Brewpub they'll make you an Old Hopizontal. Old Horizontal + Hop Wallop. It's really good.

 

Mix up your own beer and call it whatever you want. Tonight I'm drinking a NarNar.

 

My dad was at troeg`s recently and they told him to pour the rest of my mom`s dreamweaver into the rest of my dad`s mad elf and my dad said he liked it. If I remember correctly, I think he said that troeg`s may have an actual version of this comin` out.

 

Daisy Cutter w/ orange juice makes a hell of a beermosa.

 

Did a 50/50 mix of Uncle Jacobs and Rumpkin yesterday (per a couple other BA's recommendation). That was freaking delicious

Also did a mix of Boxer's Revenge and Red Poppy...that one, not so delicious...

 

I get it...it just doesn't really make sense.

To each his own.

 

Victory Storm King/Victory Hop Devil = Dark Devil. very tasty, like a hoppy stout with a strong malt backbone
Victory Storm King/victory Golden Monkey = Silverback. Havent had, but heard good things.

On another note, fireball whisky and apple cider is yummy.

 

Founders Breakfast Stout with B. Nektar Zombie Killer is about the most delicious thing I have ever tasted! Any good chocolate or coffee stout will do, but the Founders is the best combo I have tried so far.

 

My wife likes to mix framboise with chocolate stouts.

 

They call it Mad Dream, a lot of bars in the area will make it for you as well.

 

I don't think I could get myself to bastardize any good craft brews by mixing them with anything else.

 

cool, thanx, too bad I'm not visiting my parents for Christmas, and all I got right now is a bomber of Mad Elf that I'm waiting until Christmas to open it up with a friend and his family that are coming over. I'll remember Mad Dream next year when I'm down in PA.

 

I agree, this seems strange to me (even though I have had several blends from brewers that where/are amazing...FW Anniversary to name one). It reminds me of when I was a little boy and mixing all the different sodas at the fountain (Yuck). I like beer too much to risk ruining it.

I was at a vertical tasting of The Abyss (2008-2012) and a friend mixed a couple of his glasses together just so the waitress could clear the table...I wanted to slap him in the face!
