I have combined many, many things in my 58 years. I have eat bacon and drank beer, BUT, drinking bacon (HAS to be an artery clogger) is a non-starter for me. Crispy, even cold is the way to go... (Can't eat bacon any longer though except on real special occasions... gotta watch the ticker...(At least the veins...)

I really need to get a 1-gallon jug to set aside some homebrew in and experiment with stuff like this. I like a lot of crazy ideas but don't want to make 5 gallons at a time of it.

BB-UK- couldn’t agree more, it’s drove me to bourbon and hard liquor faster than anything, a buzz shouldn’t be that hard to get should it?

My taste was 100 proof spiced rum and coke (Still love the thought)(I like 100 proof because it cuts the volume to get the desired effect.) but I cut it to beer for a long while now. (Getting my arteries checked out. Have a little build up and need to know exactly what I am dealing with.) I may buy me a half pint or maybe a pint nearer the start of the season just for old times sake....

I am not above adding a depth charge of spiced rum to my beer. (Just thought of that. i think that is the way I will go, when I go...may be just the cure...)

I’m just the opposite, drank nothing but beer (mostly) for 30 some years, but have switched over to the hard stuff in my older days (I’m 59), especially since I’ve been laid up (knee injury), beer just fills me up, need a chasing Chasher if you know what I mean, sometimes I worry about me but mostly I just worry.

Relax, everybody. Rauchbier or smoked beer has been around for a couple centuries. Some claim it tastes like bacon while others say this beer is closer to ham. In the classic brewing tradition such beer uses malt dried over open flames, Other breweries employ a different method for infusing a smoky flavor.

Personally speaking, I love such beers.

I saw a Goetta beer at Newport Kroger the other day. That has to be worse than bacon beer.

It's an acquired taste. I first tried smoked beer from the keg in June, 1984 at a pub located in Bad Orb, Germany. This beer was served to us in wooded mugs. Loved it ever since. Back in the days when we could carry beer on airliners, I brought a 5-liter mini-keg of Aecht Schlenkerla Märzen back to the USA in 1986. My best friend began drinking this smoked stuff and was forced to weaken it with Black Label beer. Heh heh.

Hope to visit the brewery in Bamberg next year. The city hosts 9 breweries, including two smoked beer breweries.

I remember having a smoked Helles when I was just getting into trying all different kinds of beer. I thought the smokiness tasted like ham.

The Germans are the shite when it comes to beer. Ayinger and Spaten breweries put out some awesome products.
