Stuff Shoved In Beer...

I've never had one,. but apparently the accepted way to drink a Berliner weisse is with raspberry or woodruff syrup added.

Hrm, never had one of those....sounds perty good.

My buddy has taken to ordering Miller Lite with lime on nights when he's really broke. He calls it a "Faux-rona". The name is catching on with a couple bartenders

In Germany, the equivalent of a shandy is called Alsterwassser (in Hamburg) or Radlermass (in southern Germany). Mix 1/2 and 1/2 one Pilsner type lager and lemon soda (or lemonade). You can get it pre-mixed in stores in De.

All my beer geek friends give me no end of cr@p when I drink one of these, but it really is nice on a REALLY hot day. Apparently it is sometimes marketed as a Gatorade equivalent for cyclists!

Shot of spiced rum in a red ale is nice. Tried it out once after I saw a red ale aged in rum barrels . Couldn't get that so made my own! A full shot is a bit much, 3/4 oz is just about right to my tastes.
I wonder if instead of brewing a bourbon barrel porter or whatever you could just assemble one?
