The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
When you buy a fan kit from your favourite brewery which includes a beer called ‘Wanderlust’, you definitely have to come up with a hiking inspired beer cocktail! So, this is what I did with the ‘Wanderlust’ American Pale Ale from Orca Brau.
Contrary to some, who consider the Dry Martini as an Aperitif, I consider a good Aperitivo a low-ABV cocktail. When the drink also includes wine or beer, it is tempting to already sip them in the afternoon. However, even if you do not want to promote day drinking these light refreshers are also perfect for […]
I am almost too late for this month’s Home Bar Awards . I simply made a lot of beer cocktails a few weeks ago and I just was not in the mood for more. Nevertheless, I managed to come up with a Hemingway Daiquiri variation which not only includes a double IPA, but also a […]
Today I want to present a summery beer to you. It is also a hazy IPA which seem to catch on on this side of the pond, too. On top of that, the beer comes from the craft beer pioneers of the Stone Brewery, Escondido, CA. Prepare yourself for a danky flavour explosion!
The third and last installment in my little beer cocktails series is a twist on the Blood & Sand. Obviously, there is scotch in the mix, but I went for a non-peated version. Instead, I added a bit of smoky flavours through the Gänstaller Burned Malt smoked beer. So, let us see how this little […]
The “Amarillo” was the next beer I tried from the Gänstaller Braumanufaktur. This double beer is inspired by Bamberg’s bock beer and uses Amarillo hops. Since, the flavour profile reminded me a bit of exotic fruits, I decided to mix up a Beergarita with it.
In France a famous drink is the easy, but refreshing combination of Amer Picon and a beer. So, when I was looking for a drink to mix with the Kellerbier (cellar beer) from the new brewery Gänstaller, I decided to come up with a variation. Instead of Amer Picon, I chose an organic, Bavarian Amaro. […]
There is a growing number of Campari alternatives on the market. While of course Campari is great for mixing your Negronis and Boulevardiers, the new bitters on the block sometimes have a bit more flavour to offer. In this case, the Silvio Carta Bitter Roma Assoluto is an intense bitter which still manages to taste […]
So, this month’s Home Bar Awards theme are “local ingredients”. Since, this is a topic close to my heart, I decided to come up with drinks with as many local ingredients as possible. Of course, this ruled out using citrus fruits for acidity. However, through the folks from Das Schwarze Schaf Bar in Bamberg I […]
As with the B My Gin, I also am revisiting the Benguela Diamonds Gin. This South African inspired gin shows a great balance between juniper and New Western Style notes. On top of that, I was looking for a gin to use in a Beer-Negroni. While this drink might sound a bit weird, it turns […]
