A couple of years ago I had the best beer I've ever had taste wise the alcohol was very low but the taste was spectacular I walk into a local store and bought two 1 l bottle of Lipton sweet tea one of my favorite drinks
Upon opening the first one gave a good creamy head like something made with champagne yeast or something but I didn't notice at first, until I took a drink and that was the best tasting beer I've ever had I do like some beer but I'm not a beer connoisseur my favorite is ozbach anyway has anybody got any idea how such a wonderful tasting beer got into a bottle of sweet tea and how do you make beer out of tea
 
Did it look anything like this? Kombucha is fermented tea.

welcome to the forum.
what you were drinking was definitely not beer. did it say tea or hard tea on the bottlle. if it was your favorite tea it sounds like it was prolly a normal 1 liter bottle of lipton tea that was unintentionally fermented.

was it brisk?

i dont think it was liptons hard tea cause that only comes in a can i think.

it likely was a bottle of litpon sweat tea that was unintentionally fermented with wild yeast.

thats a little icky. the likely way that was contaminated was someone taking a swig out of the bottle and then putting it back in the fridge. - sorry.

the wild yeast prolly came from the air or from the offenders mouth.

getting back to your question tho you didnt drink beer you drank fermented tea. very unlike beer. trying to ferment lipton tea with wild yeast would most likely not result in a consistently pleasant drink.

google : homebrewtalk hard tea

this was one of the threads that came up.

start your research there.
 
Fun fact - There is a beer called Tetley’s, which is also a brand of tea here in the US. Whether the 2 are related, I don’t know.
