    Strangely enough, in college we used "nose grease" to help dissipate that that meddlesome head after a bad keg pour. You would wipe the oil off the side of your nose with your fingertip and swirl it around the foamy beer. And it DID work!

    Gives the beer more nuecliation points thus increasing the carbonation. I know nuecliation is probably spelled horribly wrong.

    Hmm, probably the bashing of a beer that makes people happy would be the strangest thing I have seen folks do.
    By all means, offer to expand folks' horizons, but why criticize what makes them happy?

    Serve a beer in a thick frozen mug - the kind that were all the rage in the 70s & 80s.

    beermosa's:
    La Follie orange juice and Lime squeeze is nice
    A hefeweizen with grapefruit juice, Lemonade, or limeade- homemade radler

    BCBS with a double shot of Jameson was a terrible idea haha (and a rough morning)

    I am interested in creating variants of BCBS with a french press.

    The classic college concoction "Summer Beer"

    Pour one tube of frozen lemonade concentrate in a jug, then fill that tube with Vodka to get the excess concentrate out and pour that all in the jug. Then mix that with 24 pk of lite beer.

    A co-worker salts his beers before drinking them, a few shakes right on top.

    I'm not sure if it's the strangest, but it's one of the first things that came to my mind....

    Beerios.

    Bowl of cheerios with beer instead of milk. My buddy ate it. I didn't eat it and am still really glad I didn't eat it.

    I was out to dinner during a business trip with this guy from one of our vendors. He was talking all day about how he was a beer guy so I picked out a restaurant that had a solid tap list. Guy went and ordered Labatt and then proceeded to take the ice from his ice water and put it in the beer along with a dash of say. Strange. I just kind of sat there astonished but didn't say anything - to each his own.

    Last year I headed to the bar right after getting some fillings at the dentist. My mouth was still completely numbed out from the Novocaine so I decided to drink my Heady with a straw rather than risk dribbling it from the can. Probably the only time the bartender saw that.

    I was at a restaurant a few days ago and I saw a lady at the bar order a Mich Golden Light, a shot of espresso and lemon wedges. She proceeded to pour the espresso in the beer and squeeze the lemon into the beer.
    I just got really confused, but then when she ordered another one I was intrigued.
    Has anyone tried this?
    I like coffee beers, but the lemon wedges threw me. I was also confused about the Mich Golden Light, but the least hoppy beer the place sold on tap was either that or Peroni.
