@mike808 Probably just so-so like most red ale. Now if it was a brown ale then it would probably be awe(go away mediocre bot)some!
/giphy eww
Probably gross but if I see a can I’ll try it.
I’d try that. After all, I have tried this:
@chienfou Have you tried the O.G., He’brew, The Chosen Beer?
@mike808
no, but I will if I can find it!

Bacon not your thing?
Hot Wings Beer
@mike808 That’s a pretty useful description on the can. I bet that helped a lot of people.
@cattylaq Hmm. Is that a “dessert beer”?
While out looking for some of the previous beers we’ve talk about the last few weeks I was surprised to find the beer from the monks in my little hometown all the way down here in Dallas. It is interesting how things get around.
@Targaryen Pics?

This beer is so good, I would have it for breakfast
Awfully hard to find, tho
@compunaut It is definitely delicious. Had it in Brussels a few years back. Definitely a fan of the Trappist abbey ales. I also liked the Lambic beers as well. Kind of like drinking wheat wine. Although my top fave is the Westvleteren 12°.

The key to using bacon in your infusions is cooking it first. Don’t count on the vodka to do all the work. I’ve made a bacon jalapeño infused vodka for bloody marys. Also, if you don’t want to spend top dollar on your vodka, run your plastic jug vodka through a brita pitcher.
@j37hr0 That’s Brilliant! I’ve actually had some re-distilled product before, and that, though much stronger, had the same bite as it’s cheaper incarnation.
@j37hr0 @tohar1 I made some bacon-infused bloody marys too.
@j37hr0 @mike808 I’m on board with those type of Bloody Mary’s, aka: “Brunch-In-A-Glass” (except for the swimmers–those I’m allergic to)
