Here are two customer pictures from Kayla in Tuscaloosa AL. The first one is your basic Black and Blue (Guinness over Blue Moon). The second one gave me a WTF!? moment. It's Guinness over Moscato wine. Kayla said that they had low expectations but that it tasted surprising good - "delicious and slightly fruity". Hmmmm... I guess I'll have to try it.

Here is a great layered beer sent in by Ryan T. from Maine. He said the tool worked really well; "The perfect pour!! Awesome tool, thanks!!" TOP: Guinness Draft can BOTTOM: Sea Dog Blueberry Wheat Ale Great product placement too. Thanks Ryan! Here are some step-by-step instructions for finding and making a great 3 layer beer. (1) Find a good dark-on-bottom layered beer combination (2) Test if the potential middle-layer beer will layer under Guinness. If it does, you may have a winner! (3) Try making the 3-layer combination. Be careful not to pour the first bottom layer too high. You don't want to run out of room for the Guinness top layer All the triple layer black and tans I've found so far were of the light/dark/light or dark/light/dark variety and I had been searching for a dark/light/lighter layered beer for a while. Well, I finally have a really nice one! A few weeks ago I found a nice light/lighter combo with a Franconia Wheat and a Tap Room #21 Copper Lager on the top. Later I tried Guinness over the Copper Lager. Both these combinations layered very nicely, so A + B = C, right? You can see the final result in the third picture... a great triple layer! Now on to finding a lighter/light/dark combination... ;)
Memorial Day Friday is here. Time to start the weekend and relax. Here is a variety of layered beer suggestions for weekend experimentation.
Enjoy your weekend! I love finding triple layered Black and Tans! I picked up some New Belguim 1554 Black Lager the other day and tried some Blue Moon over it. The layering was really nice. Then I remembered that Guinness Draught layered well over Blue Moon. So, a few days later, I tried making a triple layer and it turned out great. See pictures below.
Francis sent me a great picture of a Belgian Brunette she made with Stella and Guinness draft. She had received the layering tool as s gift and said she was having problems layering with Guinness. When most people are having a problem with layering Guinness it is because they are using the Guinness bottles. The bottles definitely don't layer as easily as the canned Guinness. After confirming that she was using the cans, she tried getting some foam on the bottom layer before pouring the Guinness. This helps to slow the top layer liquid as it drops. From the picture that obviously did the trick. Trevor from Waterloo Ontario found a great combination with outstanding layer separation. This one has Sleeman's India Pale ale (bottle) on the bottom, Guinness (Can) as the top layer. Trevor asked that this be added to the recipe list as either a "Crazy Canadian" or "Frankie's Favorite". The Sleeman brewery is located west of Toronto. I'll have to look for some down here in Texas. Mark from Jenkintown sent me another great picture of a layered beer he made. He said that he had never got Guinness Extra Stout to work on top of his B&T (I assume he means Bass Ale), but that it worked great with Lagunitas's Little Sumpin' Ale. I've never tried layering Extra Stout before as the taste is too strong for me. However, now I'll have to give it a try.
Mark from Jenkintown, PA sent me a great picture of a layered beer he made.
I have never tried the Namaste before so I went to my local Total Wine & More store to get some. Unfortunately, they were sold out. Must be good stuff. Thanks for sending in the picture Mark! |
