Well I was wondering, if Firestone Walker can mix different styles of beers and come up with nice blends like Twelve ... is it possible to mix your own blend? Has anyone ever tried to mix two styles of beer? Would this work?

Just wondering :blush: :whistling:

Does anyone have any ideas which blends would compliment each other?
 
What about Bell's Two Hearted + Double Cream Stout.

Or what about mixing an old ale with a wee heavy or barleywine?

Leinenkugel has a bunch of different ways you can mix their beer. I like the Honey Weiss mixed with the Berry Weiss.

I got a newsletter when I bought a mixed 12 pack that had a bunch of the recipes but I can't find it now.
 
I was really drunk one night and mixed Arrogant Bastard and Lagunitas Undercover Shutdown Ale, called it Undercover Bastard.
 
Don't forget any old beer and a shot of whiskey of your choice. The classic Depth Charge.

AKA the Boilermaker which is one of the most vile drinks I have ever imbibed. I've never done it like a straight shot though so I'm curious now but I wouldn't doubt if it's about the same.

No, a boilermaker is a shot on the side, chased with a beer. A depth charge is a shot poured into the beer.

See when I went to college we called a shot poured into a beer a boilermaker but I can see how it could be called a depth charge. Either way it's Satan in a glass.....
 
so last night I mixed an Anchor Steam Porter and a New Castle...was not that bad!
 
real black and tan is actually mostly guinness topped with just a splash of smithwick's. and leinenkugel is garbage. stop mixing beers.

I like the idea of experimenting, but I don't know about the above. Two Hearted is pretty gd hoppy, Double Cream is pretty damn creamy. You try that one, and let us know. :laugh:

I don't know, man. It's always been Harp and Guinness around these parts. Although, Guinness and Smithwicks doesn't sound half bad.

Your sorta right.

The most common Black and Tan combo in Ireland is with Harp or Smithwicks, more of the latter. However, from what I've read and heard from friends who've lived there, it's not even that popular of a drink for locals. But they had said that when someone does order one it is more common to find them using Smithwicks than anything else.

As for the pour, they don't care. But it's certainly not a "splash" of the Ale. As a matter of fact, that's why over there more commonly it's called a "half and half"....half of each. Americans created the "leveled" look and pour. When they order a B&T in Ireland they simply do half of each and let them mix. Most pubs will charge extra if you want the American layered effect where the Guiness is poured in a dispersed manner over the Ale to create the effect where the Guinness sits on top.

The truth is you can make a Black and Tan with any Ale that you desire. That's the beauty of a Black and Tan......the name has colors, not name brands. So I'll mix whatever the hell I want.

.....and you have two shift keys on your keyboard.
 
Around here, a black and tan is a Guinness over a Bass ale (which is quite tasty, imho). The half and half is with Harp and Guinness.
