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.

Bit of citrus is fair game with me.

Used to know a bunch that like to add salt.

Still know some that like to add eggs, tomato juice, some shellfish, a bit of whiskey........

For really irresponsible drinking, try a couple of shots of Rum or Bourbon.

Greg,

Have a tough time getting my lips around that at 0700

Or for something a bit milder than the rum/bourbs, a shot of Stones green ginger wine.

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.

After a particularly heavy session,would often have a dash of lime to take the edge off.

I dont resort to additives now

Knew a girl that used to put rasberry cordial in a tooheys new.

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.

What a way to ruin a beer.

When I lived in the UK, I played rugby. One of our rugby trips was to Lithuania and we were given a drink called a Church Window.

The English version of this drink is:

One pint of beer
3 shots of vodka
1 shot of Port

You drink the pint enough to be able to put the all the vodka into it but still leaving a small gap.

You then "depth-charge" the shot into the Beer-Vodka pint...it slowly sinks to bottom.

When you hold it up to light, it looks like a "Church Window" as the port is heavier than the vodka.

Then you had to skull it. All beer at the start, then sweet at the end.

I knew a lot of people that chucked after drinking that.

Boys try drinking from the furry cup.After that everything will tast just fine.

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.....

Mordy,

Do you add anything to the furry cup before drinking

Cheers,
Jay.
