Blending Beers: Share Your Experiments

Miller High Life & Sierra Nevada Torpedo 50/50 is good. Miller should produce it's own hop bomb. They'd make a tidy mint off of it.

 

I tried blending my 1 year old lambic with my 3 year old lambic, and trying to get some secondary fermentation.
Eww!!

 

bruery's white chocolate with mother earths Cali creamin. Cali creamin w/any robust rich coffee/desert beer

 

Blueberry Rain, if you will. Interesting combo. Only needed a tiny amount of Cascade to assert the blueberry flavors.

 

Love founders and New Holland, but Dark Penance and Carharrt Woodsman did not do it for me separately , but they mixed greeat

 

I played around with some of the seasonal stouts from bells.
The double cream, cherry & java.
I really didn't like the beers to begin with, but the chery java combo made them palatable for me.
I still ended up pouring it out though, I'm definitely not a blender by any means.
I have had some delicious success using cold press coffee and stouts/porters though.

 

I'm sure this is mentioned in the previous 10 pages: FIS and breakfast stout

To celebrate stout day, I'm thinking about mixing these two stouts together. I recently got my hands on some Breakfast Stout through a brother who passed through Michigan. It was one of my most coveted east coast beers since I got into the craft beer scene around 2012. I loved the strong coffee presence in Breakfast Stout, and I felt that the robust flavors and thickness of Narwhal would enhance and meld well with the strong coffee flavors in Breakfast Stout.

Good idea or bad idea?

 

doooo it! maybe just half bottles, and save the other halves to drink separate, just in case?

 

Bad, just pour them in separate glasses and drink them both side by side.

 

an insult to Breakfast Stout.


on the other hand, it might work. I confess I've adulterated mine with other beverages in search of a combo. However I'm using small amounts of bourbon, or rum, or coconut rum. None have worked. Breakfast Stout is soooo good on its own.

 

FBS+FIS is really the way to go.

 

Unfortunately, Founders doesn't distro to Cali.

 

damn, totally forgot about that. Seems like they should've hit the Cali market a long time ago.

 

I like to blend stouts and IPA'S in particular big imperials and barrel aged with bright and hoppy ales.
My own Black IPA'S

 

Young's Double Chocolate Stout and New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red. Cherry and chocolate, quite delicious.

 

Fall wise, anything pumpkin and stout related has been amazing, i did an Ichabod and Storm King together and it was great

 

Didn't read through the whole post to see if it was said already, but try mixing New Glarus Apple Ale with New Glarus Raspberry Tart. It's delicious!

 

Can I ask everyone on this thread a question. I honestly never thought mixing beers was a good idea unless it was a Black and Tan. But it sounds like a few of you have done it. Being in the midwest, what is two beer blend that is great?
