The X-Mas Ale is a smoked winter warmer. While I would not say it went "horribly" wrong, it can be a bit much. The Coors Light really cut the smoke and smoothed out the beer. <br /><br />I also used the 50 / 50 blend to soak my brats in before grilling. That worked out well too.<br /><br />Plus, the double-stage cold activation and the blue mountains really help determine the coldness ... I guess.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKDf6xDLNLI<br />ESheppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791870404804006118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14005070.post-8349594220639781372014-01-06T19:53:47.320-07:002014-01-06T19:53:47.320-07:00When I get a case of mbc I save it for my craft be...When I get a case of mbc I save it for my craft beers that have gone horribly wrong. I had two cases of English bitter that I made that was far to malty, and bitter. I mixed the two beers 50/50 and it was enjoyable enough not to poor down the drain. Also I love New Belgium Shift on tap. I had a Sam Adams White IPA, that I could barely finish.

I did the experiment with Lone Star but any macro beer will work. Just drop a pellet or two of various hops into each bottle, reseal, let sit for a week, pour through a strainer and taste. If you google you can find details from a blog post from a guy who did this. My experiment turned out really well. My fellow beer geeks were amazed at how good some of the macro beer tasted when it was dry hopped. It's a great way to try out different hop combinations.Jim Coffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601349662631360855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14005070.post-50764507659163592542014-01-03T10:37:17.818-07:002014-01-03T10:37:17.818-07:00Paul ...

Generally speaking, though, unless it is on my Zymurgy list, I stay away from anything that isn't local. It is not that I am a Colorado beer fan, though. I like to drink local beers no matter where I am. Part of the fun of traveling is sampling the local beers.<br /><br />Cheers!ESheppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791870404804006118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14005070.post-774498028278045592014-01-03T10:32:32.883-07:002014-01-03T10:32:32.883-07:00Scarlet ... you guys can go buy your own 20 pack o...Scarlet ... you guys can go buy your own 20 pack of Coors for much less than I could ship it for.<br /><br />Generally, I would rather cook with good flavorful beer (although cooking is probably what I'll use it for). <br /><br />Maybe I'll try a bottle to wash my hair and see how it goes. <br /><br />Don't think my plants like Coors Light.<br /><br />Thanks for the input.
