Ever mixed different beers and made something beautiful?

Outside of Evil Twin Yin and Yang...no. (I'm not referring to to the version that put both in the same bottle either.) I've tried other suggestions in the forums but they didn't do anything for me, I usually tend to be conservative and enjoy each beer for what they are unless it's a really shitty one in my glass and I'm too cheap to dump it and try to mix a less shittier beer in to kill the flavor.

 

I thought someone here posted about trying Pumking with Breakfast Stout and god help me I feel I need to try this considering they're my two favorite beers. I've made many a black and tan with Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout and Yuengling before at the bar. Those were always nice.

 

I don't mix beers often, but FBS and New Holland Ichabod Pumpkin Ale was pretty tasty.

 

I had a big pumpkin ale tasting last fall, and after everyone had some of each, we poured the remainder into a growler. By the end of the night, it was about half-full, and the concoction tasted like, well, a pumpkin ale.

 

A favorite of mine is equal parts Young's Double Chocolate Stout and Breckenridge Vanilla Porter. Like an Liquid Oreo cookie.

 

Fixed that for you

 

I am a big fan of Snake Bites, I think Guiness with Cider is a perfect combo

 

Please be advised that all of claaark13's "mixes" have been stolen from me.

 

2010 Black Tuesday and Ghostface Killah at a recent BA bottle share. Ghost Tuesday was born and was quite beautiful.

 

Brown Shugga is a great blending beer. I also enjoy blending FW's Proprietor's Reserve beers to taste... it's a bit like creating your own FW Anniversary beer.

 

CBS and Blushing Monk are very tasty mixed.

 

I like to mix it up. I like to do stuff.

 

expedition and hopslam is tasty. Last night I mixed some bcbs with perkulator doppleback from darkhorse, it was really good.

 

I was dying for a BA stout so I tried 2/3 old rasputin and 1/3 kentucky bourbon barrel ale... apart from being slightly thinner than I like it really wasn't half bad

 

1/3 Black Tuesday 2011 + 2/3 Raspberry Tart. Very good.

I'd actually probably do a 1/4 BT and 3/4 RT next time I do this.

Just did 1/4 2012 BCBS + 3/4 NG Enigma the other day. Also tasty.

 

Avery Maharaja/ Lagunitas Sucks

There was a thread a couple weeks about whether FBS and Pumking would mix well- had 'em both on tap at my job so I gave it a shot. Very nice, the FBS played down the otherwise overwhelming sweetness of the Pumking, and the graham cracker flavors came through nicely to play with the FBS coffee. Quite good. I'll still take a straight FBS over it, though

 

Dragons Milk and B. Nektar Cherry Chipotle Melomel is pretty damn delicious.

Wooden Hell and Yellow Bus black and tan did not treat me so well, drain pour.

 

The only one I did was at my birthday. It was '10 Black Tuesday and an '11 Loon Bio blend in a Cantillon flute with my daughters pink heart straw. Straight to the dome and more .rar

Cheers!

 

These are typically my favorite posts to read. Surprised, usually a large amount of the posts are people saying they would never mix their beers but this time there are some really great recipes. I usually add ST Creme Bru Lee to a large amount of my stouts and porters at a ratio of anywhere from 1:4 to 1:7 and people who usually won't drink the heavier stuff just love it.

 

Probably a one-time opportunity, at Shorts brewpub. BA Sustenance Black Beer and Strawberry Mothers Milk (which was 10 times better than Strawberry Shorts Cake).

The Redstone winter seasonal vanilla/cinnamon mead with Old Rasputin.
