Stuff Shoved In Beer...

[Desert_Sky]

I got talked into trying a lime with my Fat Tire last night. I must say that the lime flavor went really well with that beer

Around Baltimore, the Greandine in a Corona is fairly common.

I tried it once, it was too sweet, will never do again. It was just the novelty of drinking a red Corona.

Here that's called a Coronadine.

It's usually drank by women that want to think they are trendy (nothing says trendy like ordering something no one knows about). They want to be unique like everyone else. heh

When i was in vegas this Brit guy was drinking Guinness with a shot of currant liquer. A full shot was way too sweet. I could see drinking it with a splash for an interesting taste but it was too much for me.

Guinness with a shot of currant liquer.

There was a couple of woman (loose term here!) that used to drink Guinness and blackcurrant, just the cordial stuff. Looked bad.

I have to remember to tell the server no lemon, orange or whatever fruit is served with a hefe of wit. Occasionally I forget and then end up with lemon flavored beer. If it was just a hint of lemon, it would probably be okay, but the full squeeze is just too much.

Now Corona with lime and salt, that's a different story.

Oh, and we can't forget:
the boilermaker = slam a shot and chase it with a beer
the side car = a shot poured in a beer
the depth charger = a shot & shot glass dropped into a beer. Guzzle the beer.

The usual shots: Whisky, rum, tequila, or vodka.

I haven't drunk any since high school. These days I prefer my liquor segregated from my beer.

It isn't that bad, really. You can't have more than one as it gets cloying, but not bad for a first drink. That's the one beer addition I had forgotten about, I haven't had a Guinness and black in years.

I guess you're not one of the 2,343 hits (since March 17th) on my Blue Balls Belgian Wit....

(Number one viewed recipe on the forum...but who's counting?)

I brewed a version of your recipe and recently had a chance to sample a Blue Moon on tap at a local restaurant. I found Blue Moon to be much milder in flavor than my home brewed version. The flavors were similar but much more restrained. Almost as if it had been watered down. I think I really prefer my own version and my wife seems to like both.

Shameless...I know. I recon when the cold weather hits, my Blue Balls will not be so popular.

Hmmmmmm. that didn't sound the way I thought it would.

True - Kiwis have been known to add lime cordial to beer (and if you've tasted some beers from the land of the long white cloud you can understand why). I've known Poms to add raspberry cordial. Guess the sweet syrup offsets the bitterness. Some people are strange.

 

[Buford]

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

Skip & Go Naked

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?
