How To ~ Get a Stout or Ale taste out of a Pale Lager Beer ~ great for use in cooking or for drinking!



SPOILER ALERT!! This post is for my readers that are 21 years old and over!!!  If you're under 21, come back on your 21st birthday.

Short on funds, but wanting a more rich and toasting tasting premium Stout or Ale tasting brew?  Need some Stout or Ale for a recipe, but, only have a Lager in the fridge?  Just like to try copycat recipes?  Just feel like watching the beer create a lot of creamy foam head?  Then maybe this beer copycat trick might be right up your alley.  I've been using this little cheat for years ~ it not only works for my cooking, but, it's also an easy way to doctor up a less expensive Lager and make it taste like it has some extra sass.   Happy Cooking or Party On! ~ Cheers!

My How-To on transforming a Lager into a Stout or Ale taste...

For Instant Mock Stout ~ Get an Imperial pint glass and... Dissolve 2 teaspoons instant decaf coffee in a little hot water. Pour one 12oz bottle of Miller MGD beer into the now liquid decaf coffee. It will foam up when they combine ~ so use a steady hand and pour it into a tilted Imperial pint glass (they're 20oz vs a 16oz American pint glass ~ that way the foam has a place to go) or a large similar glass.  It will produce a rich and creamy head, similar in taste/look to what you might get with a Guinness draft pour, but with a bit more tan color in the creamy foam head.

For Instant Mock Ale ~ Get an Imperial pint glass and... Dissolve 1 teaspoon instant decaf coffee in a little hot water.  Pour one 12oz bottle of Miller MGD beer into the now liquid decaf coffee.  It will foam up when they combine ~ so use a steady hand and pour it into a tilted Imperial pint glass (they're 20oz vs a 16oz American pint glass ~ that way the foam has a place to go) or a large similar glass. It will produce a rich and creamy head, similar in taste/look to what you might get with a deep golden Samuel Adams Ale draft pour, but with a bit more tan color in the creamy foam head.
