All the posts on blending beers inspired me too. I am drinking a 50/50 split of the Grand River Highballer Pumpkin and Sighna Stout and it is delicious. Still has enough of the pumpkin pie flavour to go with the chocolate and roast from the stout.icemachine wrote:A 50:50 blend of Highlander Pale and Prima Pils. Comes out tasting like a West Coast Amber.
Cheers to Gary for all his posts on Blending beers

The new AMB beers, from what I've tried, have been significantly better than the old ones (though I only tried about three of the old ones since they had a bad reputation).
So far my favourites are the Champenoise (light fruity BSPA), Imperial Stout (very herbal and interesting), and Scotch Ale (though I seem to be in the minority on this one). I wasn't big on the IPA personally. The Noire and Rousse were decent. Belge Ambree was ok, but kinda boozy.

Isn't that more of a Black and Tan? (pale ale + porter)G.M. Gillman wrote:Another Black IPA of my own making. 2 parts Fuller Porter, one part Liberty Ale. I think I've gotten used to the cut and thrust of a modern APA or DIPA, the hops seemed toned down in this blend. Still, very nice, a refined Black IPA.
