I know there is a name for what I just created. I mixed 2 parts beer (wit or white) with 1 part red wine (Syrah). What is the name of a mixed drink of beer and wine? Any sites that have names for the plethora of possibilities that could be concocted from the many styles of beer and wines?
Normally, a really bad idea, unless it comes from the Cantillon brewery in Brussels, Belgium, home to the Vigneronne and St Lamvinus grape lambics.
The generic name is just a "beer cocktail." There are all sorts of variations on this theme. Guinness and Chambord, for instance: Scarlet & Black. Not as bad as one might think; it resembles a raspberry-flavored chocolate brownie, but in liquid form.
Hmmm - that isn't quite the same thing, D. Those are lambics, refermented with grapes. Seen the hardiness of the lambic beasties, I don't give much for the fruit yeasts, unless in the very early stages of fermentation. However, there are some beers that are a mix of wine and beer. Zannekin from the Dolle Brouwers is the most recent one. Not their best try, IMO. Witkap Tripel from Slaghmuylder has had a 9% addition of white wine for the longest time. And a few decennia ago, there was a German brewery, forgetting the name for now, which had a mixture of Bier & Sekt (German sparkling wine).

Hi Joris, this is called "Herrencocktail" = mens coctail out of fashion right now it is a mixing of Pils and Sekt . Same style is "Champagnerweizen" a white beer with dash of Champagne.
