• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

beer drinkers may find this offensive...

I think most beer drinkers would rather spend their time popping a top or twisting a cap off or better yet having the bar keep pouring it for them rather than having a beer cocktail. I happened to read an article today about beer cocktails and wonder if any of the beer (drinking) aficionados here have ever tried one? The one in particular that the article discussed was the 'michelada'. I'm actually a hot sake drinker myself; but, I may go out and purchase all the ingredients and try it.

Ingredients:

Modelo, Pacifico, Corona, or Dos Equis
lime
margarita salt
tabasco sauce
Worcestershire sauce
soy sauce
black pepper
(margarita glass and a small whisk)
 
Let us know how it tastes, but that sounds icky !!!! :barf:
 
Hope you like it-- but realize the 'beers' listed in the ingredients aren't anything a real beer aficionado would even gargle with..... ;-)

Based on the different posts here on SL, PBR might be in order. :roflblack: Believe me, when I said aficianodo, I was using the term loosely.


Because the drink may have originated in Mexico, Mexican beers were chosen.

If you have one of these, they will never stop you at any check point; you'll be waved right through.;)

The only Mexican Beer worth drinking!
 
Beer cocktails are rarely sold in bars. As a matter of fact, on the rare occasion I have had to see them, it was more of the shot variety that involve beers than the actual cocktails.

PBR, Carta Blanca, Modelo, Pacifico, Corona, or Dos Equis - of these your "average" bar might have Corona. Otherwise, not so much. PBR has become some younger generation revolt to being cool and thus has bolstered its sales and made it more popular again.

The beer cocktail in question you are talking about is more common than you might think, in beer distributors attempts to get it in front of the public.

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/29/37389 I believe it is an attempt to tap into the latin market with something that might be pre-bought in a can, I wouldnt suggest it.

To have most beer cocktails it requires a few caveats, if you attempt them, premade mixes / slurries are going to make them basically taste like total @$$, couple that with anything that requires fruit / vegatables to be make it really snap, non-FRESH fruit will make or break this drink. Much like a Bloody Mary, were I going to make this, I would actually make my OWN mix from the freshest items on hand to make the drink remotely drinkable. Also, being in the culture in question when you choose to go down this path, is always a good call.

I have learned several of these items in my NUMEROUS hours, and times on both sides of bars. I consider bartending to be an art, and the key is to truly attempt to wow your drinkers with something that assualts their tastes with what they like.

Good luck with your Bloody Mary Beer!

:thumbup: Sounds like words a chef should live by also.
 
I am more of a tender than a chef. However I am learning. The paths of each can cross

Actually, the michelada is a very popular drink here in San Antonio, especially in the mexican restaurants. For me, it was a no brainer to try since back in my Air Force days I was introduced to tomato juice and beer. Something about the next morning and the hair of the dog. The michelada is actually very good but a couple of them will fill you up.

:barf: Thanks but NO thanks!!! That would REALLY be used for a bad hangover and needed a wakeup... (Reminds me of the "wakeup juice" in Back to the Future Part 3 except they used whiskey... better choice IMO.

If I am doing a beer cocktail:

1 bottle of Corona
1 Can of Sprite
1 frozen margarita mix
Fill empty frozen margarita mix container with tequila
Ice

BEER MARGARITAS!!!:bbq: Refreshing for a hot summer day!!

You never, ever, ever add anything to a beer that is actually worth drinking. Does that thing come with an umberella in it or what?:lecturef_smilie:

If it comes with an umbrella, its a broke down, tore up one, cause that is what would do it justice. Next time I make one (which would also be the first time), I will serve it with a celery stalk broken in half, and use a toothpick to make it look like a celery umbrella, just because of this posting...

And, in my opinion most beers arent worth drinking, except for some pretty exotic beers ;)
