Blending Beers: Share Your Experiments

From my Bully Guppr Review:

"THE BULLY LORD" - Dark Lord and Bully Guppy Black and Tan ​

Ok, so this was cool. We made one black and tan with the last pours of these two bottles. Dark Lord '12 is very sweet and the actual flavors of these beers cancelled each other out and all we were left with was the barrel flavors. Lots of cognac and coffee on the nose. A fun experiment, not something I'll ever have the chance to do again.​

 

To anyone in particular.
Yeah. Fuck your barrel aging program.

 

Framboise Lambic with Choklat 1/3 2/3
Rubeaus with Bell's Oarsman 1/4 to 1 - Michigan Raspberry Tart.
Cerise with Bell's Oarsman 1/4 to 1 - Michigan Cherry Tart
Rubeaus with Atwater Decadent Chocalate (think thinner version of Choklat)

 

Sam Smith Apricot and Lagunitas Lil Sumpin Sumpin mixed 50/50 is fantastico.

 

I've heard Festina Peche and 90 Minute IPA are delicious when blended. I think I'd rather try Festina Peche and a more hop forward type beer, such as Head Hunter.

 

Did this the other night, was delicious.

And I've already mentioned in a previous thread my 'Black and Slam' combination of Hopslam and Founders Imperial Stout.

 

Currently at a bar having runways and left hand milk stout nitro! Delicious

 

I tried the same blind taste test. La Fin also won for me. Then Westmalle, then Chimay.

 

Had "Sour in the Rye with Raspberries" the other night at a bar before a bottleshare.

Believe it to be somewhere around 80/20 of SitR/Lindeman's Framboise. Pretty damn tasty.

 

50/50 SN Torpedo IPA and SN Pale Ale

I had a sixer of Torpedos latying around that I'm not a fan of. Figured I'd give it a try with the regular pale ales. Not a bad blend at all.

 

Back when Flying Dog had their old bay gose, the guys in the taproom would make growlers with half Citra DIPA and half Gose. Gitra. That was just fantastic. Same with Nitro Kujo and Citra.

More readily available, I love Old Pro Gose wiith Snowpants Oatmeal Stout. Oliver Ale's Summer Babe and Cherry Blossom did great together, as did a three-way of Summer Babe, Cherry Blossom, and Bishop's Breakfast.

 

A few of my faves:
50% Guiness + 50% Great Lakes Holy Moses = "Black Moses"
75% Youngs Double Chocolate Stout + 25% Lindeman's Framboise
50% SA Chocolate Bock + 50% Wells Banana Bread beer
75% Weihenstephaner Vitus + 25% apple cider (have used multiple hard ciders - great in the fall!)

 

Bruery Black Tuesday and Kuhnenn's Raspberry Eisbock..sublime.

 

La Fin and Festina, Peche du Monde 60/40 , La fin / Festina.

 

Has anyone ever blended with festina peche, I love this beer on tap, but in a bottle the peach is a little overbearing.

 

Just had to fix that for ya. Another good blend is Golden Monkey and Storm King. Potent, but delicious.

 

This thread is orgasmic.

 

IPA and gose. Sometimes it hits the spot and sometimes it misses but it's a interesting one to try

 

Yeah, that would be my dyslexia kicking in. It's not only for numbers and letters, but whole words as well. It's a wonderful entertaining gift. Thanks for the correction.
