How did I miss this? Guess standing next to the Belgian kegs was a bad idea... Maybe catch it next time.
Hey guys, out of curiosity, when do you break out a bottle of this? I would assume it pairs well with a Mexican meal, but very curious how else you've used it?

This is a great beer for any spicy Mexican dish. I brewed my batch very mild so it will help cool you down. If you used hotter chiles in the beer, you might want to pair it with a mildly spiced dish to add some kick.

nealf said:I have been following the Chile Beer thread for a while but I can't see an exact recipe to follow in order to get a beer similar (or exactly like ) to the beer that you created based on that thread. There was talk of a pale ale, is that the way you went? Any info you could offer would be appreciated.

The above was in a PM to me from NealF and I thought I would post my reply here as well in case anyone else has the same question.
Thanks for the reply, how much did you add? And of what variety... also, if you were to change the amount/variety, how would you go about that?
edit: after reading, it seems you added 1lb of green chiles
Thanks again,
Neal
Ugh. I can't drink mine. I actually poured a bottle down the drain last night. I bottled on 9/3 or so. this bottle was in the 'fridge for two weeks or so.
The sad thing is, the beer LOOKS amazing. very clear, light amber color. Just really pretty. but the flavor is really off/odd. I can't explain it but know this, I NEVER WASTE beer. Guess this is the exception. It just tastes wrong, in a bad way.
I can't explain the flavor but it tastes like a really bad bmc beer. with heat. I dry hopped 2.5 gallons w/ an ounce of hops and there is no hop aroma.
