Vomit provoking s**te.

Wasn't that called a shandy?

Same thing.

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).

Agreed, but I like 'em anyway! I'm not going to complain if the lambic cultures kick the poor little wine yeasties out of the pool.

Now that you mention it, that reminds me of Guinness and sparkling wine, a drink known as the notorious Black Velvet.

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.
