"Cutting" beers with other beers

Nope. Try it.

 

Add more Yeti flavored Yeti and try to dilute it to a less sweet beer and at the same time the flavor could get less in your face.


Enjoy

 

I think you're on to something, please report back with results.

 

As long as you don’t cut it with a plug of bourbon….

 

Funny, both me and my friend have hit upon this lately. I've been doing it with extra boozy IPAs (Doubles and Triples). I normally go for IPAs north of 9%, but sometimes if the attenuation is off you get smacked with the alcohol taste.
Case in point: Stone 25th Anniversary Ale. I liked it, but that alcohol. Solution: cut with a lower or even session IPA. I forget what I used, may have been a Harpoon IPA, think once I tried with Centennial. Best of both worlds.
Added bonus: since this has been happening more with 12 oz. formats, I get to shape both quality AND quantity, going from "pint-sized" to a full pint (+)!

 

Folks have been blending beers for a long time, and for various reasons. Sometimes a beer is lacking, and needs a boost. Sometimes a beer is a bit much, and needs to be tamed a bit. Sometimes it's just fun to mix two beers and see what happens. The worst thing that can happen is ya drink some beer.

 

When I've visited a new-to-me brewery and have a sampler flight, after I've had my fill but some beer remains in some glasses, I will sometimes combine them into one glass to see what happens. Usually the beers that get combined are the ones that I liked the least on the flight, so nothing is lost as if wasting beer. To no surprise I haven't created any gems yet. Two or three marginal beers are still marginal when combined.

 

Saw this book at a used book store last year. Have a buddy who always mixes,beers

Wait, is it a rebrew of espresso oak aged yeti?

 

The solution is obvious, mix the 120 Minute with the Yeti.

 

I've left a shot of Southern Tier Nitro Coconut Truffle Milk Stout in my snifter then added a can of SN Celebration IPA and it was damn good tasting. Ya never know until you try. Cheers!

 

Really? Try doing "Search titles only" searches for the words Blending and Mixing and you'll find dozen of such threads.

 

Do it.

 

Mix the DFH 120 with a DFH 60 (to create a reconstructed DFH 90. Then do a side by side with a normal bottle of DFH 90 and report back. Note that DFH already did this with their brewhouse 75min IPA which blended their 90 and 60. It was pretty darn good.

 

I've definitely done this with stouts that are too sweet or intense. In particular, I've bought 4-packs of Wiley Roots and Weldwerks stouts that are pretty good for a few sips but become intolerable after 4oz. At that point, mixing what's left with something like LH Milk Stout or even DBC Graham Cracker Porter makes for a surprisingly good item.
