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.
