It has been a long time since I've posted. I have been busy this year though, making black and tans. All the pictures have been posted on Instagram. Below are some layered beer pictures that I hope will give you inspiration.

Beer Layering to Kick-Off 2017

1/14/2017

0 Comments

 

It has been a while since I posted but, rest assured, I've still been busy trying different black and tan combinations over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday.  Many combos didn't work so I was forced to drink them as punishment.  Here are pictures of my successes.  Some of them worked out really well with fantastic layer separation.

Post St. Patrick's Day Black and Tans

3/27/2016

Well, St Patrick's day celebrations are over.  Hope everyone tried some green beer! 

I'd been trying some various layered beer combos.  Many of them didn't work out and mixed, but through perseverance  and a bit of luck, I landed some good ones. See pics below.
I'm always on the lookout for different beer glasses to try black 'n tans with. A few weeks ago I found a goblet style glass on Amazon at a reasonable price.  The tool didn't really fit the smaller opening and it actually sat on the diagonal part.  It formed a good seal around the rim and when I first started pouring the Guinness it wouldn't drip down because no air could escape. Once I lift the tool slightly the Guinness started to flow and a decent layer was created.  It didn't turn out as good as I had hoped so I'll be trying the glass again.

New Years Layering

1/1/2016

Had a great new years celebration with good friends, family and college football. Had a opportunity to try some beer layering with leftovers from the beer fridge. Check out the great separation line with the Blue Moon and Guinness.  The last picture shows how well the Blue Moon and Guinness remained separated even after about half of the drink was gone.

Happy 2016 to everyone!

In Honor of Star Wars

Lee sent pictures of two great layered beer recipes which he named in honor of the new Star Wars movie coming out.  The first one is the "Imperial Storm Trooper"; a dark on bottom combination.
  • Victory Storm King Imperial Stout on bottom
  • Robinson Iron Maiden Trooper on top

The second one he named a ​"Storm Trumer" (or Calm Before the Storm Trumer). This one is a nice clear/cloudy combo which are harder to find.
  • Trumer Pils on Bottom
  • Ballast Point Calm Before The Storm On top!
Great picture composition with the draft taps in the background. Thanks Lee!

A New Porter for a Bottom Beer Layer

11/29/2015

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.
