Mixing Beers

Yeah everyone has those laying around.

Cheers!

 

very rarely. last fall i did experiment with ST choklat and pumking together. better idea in theory than practice, although it wasn't bad.

 

I cracked a Jester King Weasel Rodeo and found it lacking.

I had a little bit of Southern Tier Barrel Aged Backburner that was in a growler and too old to drink alone.

I figured the Weasel would benefit from sweet. The BBA Backburner was very vanilla forward, so I decided to pour the rest into the Weasel.

It was a match made in heaven. The vanilla filled the void between the coffee and chili flavor perfectly.

 

I sometimes liven up an otherwise run-of-the-mill imperial stout by pouring it into a glass with the remains of a just-finished nice DIPA.

 

Then I probably shouldn't mention the time I put a few drops of Pappy Van Winkle 23 into Apple Brandy Hunapu... my friends are too generous somtimes!

 

I hate you.

Cheers!

 

I mixed a PBR with a Sparks one time...I think sparks is outlawed now though.

 

This is like dividing by zero bro, don't do it.

On topic, no mixing for me.

/purist

 

Oak Aged Pumking + Gorilla Warfare = Fuck Yes^3

 

Oh I'm a definitely a purist, too, and I've never mixed. But sometimes I wonder if I'm missing something fun or interesting, like when that first person discovered the art of blending lambics to get a beautiful Gueuze.

 

Tasty, high drinkability, but not something I plan on repeating. When I made it I was hoping the beers would stay in their own layers which they didn't. The Zhukov cut out a lot of the bitterness of the 16 and the 16 cut out some of the thicker roast favors from the Zhukov.

 

Nice, you'd think Zhukov would create a bed being as thick as it is. Can't wait to crack mine...not sure when I will though.

 

I'm not big on it, but the Alpine brew pub routinely mixes beers for people and actually has named some of the mixes and has them on their menu... e.g., "Willy Nelson" is a mix of their Willy Vanilly and Nelson.

 

I think that was the problem, I tried to go with the Zhukov on top like a classic black and tan

 

old raspy + weyerbacher imperial pumpkin!

hop wallop and storm king!

 

The only thing I mix is the yeast in the bottle with the rest of the beer. I tried a few black and tans, just did not do it for me. I have done some Irish car bombs on New years a few times and I wake to wish I did not do it.

 

We poured all our unwanted beer from Goose Island Belgian fest into a glass and one person drank it. He said it wasn't bad.

 

young's double chocolate + stone ipa. i was wasted last summer. i don't recommend it.

 

Avery Maharaja + Lagunitas Sucks. The Honey Guru

Black & Red- Founder's Cerise under Left Hand Milk on Nitro. Tastes like chocolate-covered cherries. First tried it with Founder's Oatmeal Stout on Nitro.

At Founder's, there are many unlisted selections like Dirty Trouble that people order all the time. Mixing is encouraged there.

 

Stone IRS + Double Bastard
