A New Porter for a Bottom Beer Layer

11/29/2015

0 Comments

 
I recently found a new porter from Lakewood Brewing; their Holiday Bonus Festive Porter.  I thought, great!, a new dark beer to try layering with.

Well my first attempt was a failure when I tried the porter on top of Franconia Wheat. The Franconia Wheat beer was my go-to bottom beer but not anymore. The porter immediately dropped down into the wheat and mixed. This told me that the porter was denser than the wheat. A few days later I tried pouring the wheat over the porter and it worked great.
Jan 24, 2016 Update: In using up the last of my Lakewood Holiday Bonus beer, I found two more great layered beer combinations.  One with a Sam Adams and another with a Shiner Birthday Beer. See pictures below.

Thanksgiving Turkey and Beer

Here are two black and tan pictures from John in St. Louis.  He said he made them on Thanksgiving Day while watching a ball game.  Guinness Draught in cans works great as a top layer with a lot of beers.  It also always works well with cider due to a ciders' higher density from the additional sugar content.

More Belgian Beer Layering

11/14/2015

A few weeks ago we showed some beer layering attempts with Stella Artois. It worked pretty well as a top layer beer.  Given that there is no such thing as a bad Belgian beer, I decided to try another classic, Leffe Blonde. The first attempt of pouring it over Rahr Ugly Pug Black Lager was a failure. The Leffe mixed into the black lager straight away so no layer formed as expected.  I had assumed that the Leffe would be light like the Stella. I had also forgotten that the Rahr black lager is also relatively light. So, after forcing myself to drink the mistake, I tried the Leffe on the bottom. Well, it turned out great! After that I was on a roll. See the pictures below.
