Belgian Tripel + Sam Adams Clone= Good

[bieb9er]

So i brewed a Belgian Tripel that just turned out to be almost too much! It has a very strong flavor. It is very dark because i did too small of a boil. I can tolerate it but others cant. I also brewed a Sam Adams Boston Lager clone that turned out wonderful. I thought i would try mixing the two when i pour a glass and i gotta say i am pleasantly suprised. Half pint pulled off of one tap and a half off another tapand the mixture of the two tastes very good. Has anyone else ever done this too a not so good beer?

I've always wanted to do this with two batches out of the primary and into a secondary.
But back to your question; no. My only experience is with mixing something like Blue Moon and Guinness.

I've blended different wines before with really good results. It's unconventional but I wouldn't say it's totally out there to do it. Besides, we wouldn't be homebrewers if we subscribed to convention right?

Try mixing any old cheep (ish) lager, like Henry's with a Russian Imperial Stout (like Old Rasputin). Really good.
I do one part Stout and three parts lager.

Blending wines is extremely common, blending beers is less so, but still common. There isn't a macro out there that doesn't blend.

this is how i finished out 2 not so hot kegs... a far too bitter amber ale and a pretty poor belgian pale mixed was surprisingly good.
