Beer and..?

[ZenG]

If the beer needs to be mixed, then you need to get a better beer.

I'm not all that big on drinking beer. I like it when it's sweltering hot out though.

I prefer wines and hard liquor for a drink per se. Actually my alltime favorite is a Pina Colada.

I know this is blasphemy but on a hot day I like my beer with lots of ice in it.

I like a wine or liquor buzz over a beer buzz.

I don't mind experimenting with adding things to beer because to me it's just a summer thirst quencher.

I've tried tons of straight micro designer beers and haven't found any I liked of theirs.

When I was young beer was a major food group.

Several years ago my wife bought me a beer cocktail recipe book for my birthday. ~100 pages of beer with fruit juice, beer with soda, beer with hard liquor, punch, herbal essences, spices, this, that, blah blah blah... Makes for fascinating reading.

I cannot imagine actually drinking any of them.

I'll squeeze some fresh orange juice in to my Blue Moon Belgian White and that's about it.

I think vodka goes better with orange juice, and Blue Moon goes better in the trash.

I sometimes like to augment my Kennebunkport Brewing Company Porter with a half shot of burbon.

Erm... maybe... not sure... I suppose I would try it.
Some Bourbon barrel aged ales are very good, so it's not like the flavours couldn't mix.

Tomatoes, serrano peppers, onion, garlic, beer= best salsa for tacos ever

Only beer I would ever mix is a black & tan (guiness and bass ale) or a half & half (guiness and harp ale)

That's actually where I got the idea.

For the record, [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] is what I used for bourbon.

Ahh, the small river of the bulbous handle. Not a bad swill.

As a youngster we had a cocktail called a "Mudslinger".

To make it you took a schooner beer glass (425ml or 14oz) about half full of ice. Add a nip (30ml) of Tia Maria, a nip of Jim Beam (or Southern Comfort if you like it sweet) and in the room left in the glass add half beer and half coca cola. It sounds horrible, looks even worse, but tastes really nice. The Southern Comfort version almost has a strawberry flavour to it.

Never sullied the product myself but a friend used to drink O'Douls with lemon seltzer water. Took a sip. Effing foul.

Do you still have that book...if so, what is the title of it?

Appropriately enough, it's called Beer Cocktails by Howard & Ashley Stelzer (Harvard Common Press, 2012)

Any of you out there tried mixing different things with beer just to see what it tastes like?

Yesterday I tried a 50/50 mix of Ginger Ale and Coors Light......pretty good...

Pretty much anything an lite beer (or water) tastes better than lite beer (or water)

Some people put Clamato in their beer.

I think it's gross.

They don't put it in GOOD beer.

You ever consider how dirty the outside of that bottle is? Good thing the alcohol disenfects

In the days of olde, when the common man spake as thus, "For soothe sire, let us slake our thirsts and quaff this noble libation", when men weren't compelled to sully such a brew of perfection as to infuse various and sundry botanicals or pomes upon it, they would surely shudder at such brash disregard for all that is good upon creation. And so go I. Suffice to say that if your brew no longer satisfies, do not micturate in it, simply select another label.
