Quick fix for bad tasting beer

[rmchair]

Recently I had two kegs of beer, neither of which I was crazy about. An ultra hoppy crystal light left from summer, and a octoberfest that tasted of molasses. My brother who drinks a lot but doesn't brew suggested I combine them. I told him he was nuts. Well, guess what? It worked like a charm.

The hops covered up the molasses aftertaste and the october sweetened up the light beer. I have some skunky euro beers that when mixed with a shot from the keg really straighten up too. Give it a try sometime.

I mix beers, one of the pluses of kegging. Not so much because there's a problem, but just to try different combinations.

It's called a "Black and Tan".

Though, for a real Black and Tan, I think you need a really dark beer, like a Porter or Stout.

Through blending, my 5 taps give me an infinite variety. 5^5 = 3125 potential combinations.

2^5 = 32 combinations (assuming you can either include or not include each beer in equal amounts). Although, taking into account the proportions of each type of beer, there would be essentially infinite combinations.

Did you mix in the glass (like a black & tan) or did you mix the 2 kegs?

While in Niagara a few months back, they had a few othe mixed beer drinks.

A black velvet 1/2 Guinness and 1/2 cider. I tried this one. Not bad...

I forgot the other name. But it was 3/4 Guinness 1/4 cider I didn't try this one.
