A while back I bought a kit to make mead as just a neat history/ medieval learning experience, today I went to a small local homebrew store down from my house to get a couple needed supplies and as we were talking I mentioned I was really into tea... he lit up and said that he had a friend who used some tea in place of hops but that he only knew of basic teas like Earl Grey. That sparked my curiosity and I think I may just try it...
Anyone here who happens to be into good beers, I'd love to hear some ideas/combinations. I'm a big fan of Belgians (Delerium Tremens, Trappists, etc.) as well as nut brown ales, dunkels, and porters/ stouts.
I was thinking some heavy roasted oolongs (like my ever-present Shui Xian) as a dunkel/brown ale and I'd also think a wheat beer and a brighter/citrusy green.
