Was bored tonight and have a pretty average tasting beer that I think might have been slightly infected.. anyway I saw a jar of honey sitting on the table and decided to chuck some in a glass then pour the beer over it and stir it up.. made it taste a bit better.
Anyway this got me thinking, do you add anything to their beer before you drink it? (About the only thing I could think of thats popular is lemon in corona)
Have been known to put a bit of lime juice in some of my lagers if they are a bit ordinary.It was de riguer in Pommie land when lager was first brought out there.Mind you the stuff they introduced called 5 Star needed a bit of help.
Still know some that like to add eggs, tomato juice, some shellfish, a bit of whiskey........

I used to enjoy a splash of grenadine in Tooheys Old a few years back...that was back when I thougth Tooheys New was the best beer on earth though...methinks I will have to try it again this weekend to see what I think now.
I was watching a show on beer tasting on discovery channel the other day and heard some bloke mention that mango juice mixed with a brew was really nice...
Way back in my Uni days I used to make a beer shandy with Coke to guzzle down after a soccer match. 50% beer 50% coke. Really did the job to quench a thirst. Would then savour straight beers afterwards.
Yeah, that sort of sh!t is big in England, especially amongst the fairer sex. Lager and lime. Also a shot of rasberry in a snake bite (half lager, half cider) is common. I also recall pouring a few Guinness and rasberry.
Ha ha I used to drink vb with a shot of stones and dash of lemon lime and
bitters called it a mud water was a sure fire hang over tastes a bit like a lemon lime udl never again!!!!!!!
Try filling the glass halfway with cider, then the rest with beer. Might not taste the best, but it is rocket fuel.....called a snakebite. In some pubs in England, they won't sell it because people get smashed on it to easily.
2 glasses of that, and all will be good with the world, including the taste of the beer.....
I formed a new group called Alcoholics-Unanimous. If you don't feel like a drink, you ring another member and he comes over to persuade you.
