i dont mink the kneez, its certianly drinkable, but the sting still amazes me with its drinkability for want of a better word. i can down a six-pack before i've even noticed they're gone. and it is superior to the kneez, very much so.

i've never understood honey beers

i think honey beers all taste crap.


bring on the bavarian purity law

You clearly haven't tried Wassa's Honey Porter.

beez neez is utter rubish. nuff said

bring on the bavarian purity law

Lets not be too hasty. What about all the fantastic Belgian beers which would not fall within this law. And by all accounts some people find honey a useful adjunct. A bit of honey in a brew doesn't make it a honey beer.

I'd give them all up to never drink a honey beer again.





(not really)

Beez Neez has to be from the keg for it to taste any good. The bottled ones don't seem to have any honey flavour at all.

I dont think honey belongs in beer. If you want to make something with honey in it, make mead..

FAIL. It belongs in beer. Wassa's Honey Porter is all I need to say.

Just came across this (extremely) old thread and I can't agree more with James L. So where's the "Neither. Honey and beer don't mix" option in the poll

I don't know, I made a dark beer (porter or stout, can't remember) and used some Leatherwood honey.
It was rather nice. If I do say so myself.

I used 500g of honey in a recent Pale Ale recipe. I don't think it really made any difference. It was just some more fermentables for the yeast.
Mind you the beer in question was a nice drop, its just that the honey wasn't the ingredient that made it good.

I made a honey porter back in my extract days (pretty sure I got advice for the recipe on this forum) that some of my mates still rave about to this day.

Was also the brew that popped my kegging cherry.

+1

Honey does not belong in beer. I refuse to put it in my beers.

The only beer that I made with honey was hard to drink so it'll take a bit to convince me to put honey in a beer again. Mead on the other hand .............
