Including Preston Weesner owner of the Holiday Ale Fest. And Firestone Walker is absolutely killing it with their anniversary blends, and they dont even blend them themselves, they have outside winemakers do it.

So around hockey season we go to a local sports deli and order EYE OF THE SHARK to support the San Jose Sharks. It's a mix of guess which two beers?! We invented it and are rather proud. Mixing/blending is fun, and should never be taken seriously! :) I am from Northern California… We have Eye of the Hawk (Mendocino) and Great White (Eureka)…

They call it a "Snickers Bar." The stout is terrific as a dinner beer with chile verde, but with the hazelnut, it's pure dessert.

I think if you were using less than 1/3 lambic, your results might have been more favorable, and I think I'll be trying that with the Fish Mudshark Porter tonight. :) -anónimo They call it a Black Forest at Henry’s, but they use a shot of Lindemans Framboise (which is far sweeter, and yeah, it should be kriek) and Young’s Double Chocolate Stout… I actually prefer it to Young’s straight, which has a metallic flavor that is sufficiently concealed by the lambic.

Its like drinking desert. That gets you drunk. Rogue Chocolate Stout + Raspberry Lambic is actually really good, half and half mixture. Its like drinking desert. That gets you drunk.

The Brown and Bitter was a tasty concoction that I'm not ashamed of. The High Life and PBR combo, however is a bit of shame that I can not shake...

Just as Alan Spirits or Ron Gasberg Just because this blend wasn't quite right doesn't mean that you should shun the whole notion of mixing different beers together. Get back on that pony and ride!
