Beer Sangria

Posted By Alex Chinien May 28 2011 · 0 comments · Get Basted

Beer Sangria

This is quite possibly the only way to recover from the unforgivable sin of buying pre-mixed sangria.  We were skeptical at first, but our hosts fervently insisted.  Then the Pabst Blue Ribbon came out.  Against all odds, this batch of Beer Sangria turned out surprisingly tasty.  We used slices of orange for flavor and garnish.  Recommendations for next time include:

– Using a different beer – Something extremely blonde or unfiltered (Cheval Blanc, Griffon Blonde)

– Using a flavored beer – Locally brewed St Ambroise Apricot Wheat Ale or seasonal Raspberry Ale

– Different fruit – Probably staying with citrus.  Lemons floating in summer beers are already a common sight

More Beer Sangria

Things to avoid:

– White wine – Send in pictures if you can prove me wrong, but I don’t think this can work

– Skipping the wine – Beer and juice without wine will taste like beer mixed with juice

– Pre-mixed Sangria
