Beer Cocktails

last week i put an oz of Citra hop pellets and vodka in my french press. ive been adding splashes to otherwise underwhelming beers to "spruce them up". ive yet to be disappointed. i have a strong feeling im going to be experimenting with lots of different hop varieties once this bottle is gone

 

I'm slightly confused, but I like where you're going with this. Tell me more...

 

Beer cocktail = oxymoron.

 

Very large case of research misconduct in the news recently. Here's a Wikipedia article on it

Wow. That's a bit unsettling. Yeah.

 

But you have to do these like Boilermakers. I remember these from the 80's.

 

What about the Beergarita?
Half of a schooner of frozen margarita with an upside down bottle of beer in it. As you drink with a straw the beer blurps and bubbles into the margarita like water from a water cooler.

 

Shot of tequila in a Stiegel Grapefruit Radler.

 

Thoughts on berlinerweisse and adding syrups to them?

 

last year experimented with a ST pumking / choklat mix. tasted better in theory than practice, but it wasn't bad. i've also attempted a 'poor man's barrel-aged stout' by adding a touch of bourbon to something like an old rasputin.

 

Try one of these:

 

We did a Coors Light/Apple Schnapps thing back in the 80s, like a crappy hard cider. It was a cool decade aside from that...- thanks for reminding me of my secret shame

 

well, I had a local chocolate belgian with salted caramel ice cream floating in it. God damn that was one HELL of a drink/float. thanks Fullsteam and Parlour!

 

Yeah, adding a beer to an old fashioned is a great idea...

 

my brother and i used to make these... except we used miller lite and the shot was amaretto and IIRC 1/3 bacardi 151 (which was then ignited, haha)

 

Well I've had more than my fair share of Double Jack straight up, and combining the flavors in my mind seemed like a good idea, and it turned that out it was. If there's no new brews around my area it doesn't hurt to do a little experimenting

 

You must hate KBS, Parabola, etc, etc, etc!!!

 

Yup, total rubbish

 

Cat disapproves of cocktail.

 

I brought a New Glarus Belgian Tart to a share not long ago. Most people thought it too sweet, so there was a lot left over. Towards the end of the night, we started blending it with the rest of the beers that were left.

Generally it went well with any of the big stouts and porters we had.
