Alright, I'm sorry for not posting for a bit. Things have been a bit crazy with the opening of Beaker and Flask, all in a good way though. We've had a pretty successful opening and things are going well.
I've been tasked with creating some new, beer based cocktails for our happy hour menu. To be honest, I'm not much of a beer man. Oh, I like a good cold lager after work, but microbrews can actually make me a bit sick if I drink too much and between wine and cocktails, I've never really gotten around to making beer too much of a priority in my life. I've also never used it in cocktails.
Here are some ideas that I'm playing with right now;
A Michelada variation- Maybe Negro Modelo (my favorite beer for a michelada), chipotle infused 1800 Silver select tequila , lime juice, clamato and perhaps a smoked salt rim?
A bourbon (something sweet with a nice vanilla and caramel profile, maybe Buffalo Trace?) stout, coffee and perhaps some condensed milk?
Saison (we have a new brewer in Portland, Upright Brewing, doing open fermentation) with perhaps some cassis and lemon juice?
What kinds of beer cocktails do you do? Any ideas you might have to help me out or point me in the right directions would be appreciated.
