Chile-infused Stouts

Cave Creek Chili Beer is my favorite pale stout with chile

 

Not many have had it but Chili Pepper Bo & Luke from Against the Grain is one of my favorite beers of all time. Bible Belt was dang good as well.

 

That is definitely not a stout.

 

i was kidding. nobody actually likes that beer.

 

Yeah, it seems like a joke more than anything.

 

If willing to expand the parameters a bit to include brown ales, then we should reference a beer that helped begin this entire movement in the first place: Dogfish Head Theobroma. Chiles in beer are not my thing, but this one is about as palatable as it gets. The Terrapin/Shmaltz Reunion Ale is fairly close in style and also has a subtle note.

 

My Blueberry Nightmare

 

Chili-stouts? I love chocolate and chili, I can only imagine how those dark roasted flavors and chili would work in a beer. I am now officially intrigued.

 

You folks dissing on My Bluberry Nightmare are scaring me. I'm beginning to think that I have a bomb (no, not *that* BOMB) sitting in my cellar.

 

Hopefully Night Shift brews ¡Holy Mole! again. Other than Clown Shoes' Luchador that has been my favorite pepper stout. Luchador with chocolate ice cream also makes a great beer float.

 

Evil Twin Imperial Biscotti Break (DeCicco Version) (with Chili and Hazelnuts).

 

That one was great, possibly my favorite version of IBB. DeCicco's is a great chain of stores as well, awesome beer selection.

 

I'll have to try some chili stout, I didn't care for the cayanne pepper in the oak aged chocolate yeti.

 

Mexican Chocolate from Copper Kettle Brewing in Denver is one of the better ones out there. Having spent many a night in their taproom, I can tell you that people come from all over to try it. They should be expanding their distribution in the next year or so. In the meantime, if anyone is interested, feel free to message me for a trade.

 

I really like the Clown Shoes Luchador En Fuego. It's BA with a hint of heat from the chilies.
