Was doing my research into beer styles on my favorite beer site and came across a list of all the chili beers. I never knew there was so many of them! Cehc it out:

Most of them don't score very high, do they?

Ya, I notice that too!

I had another one of mine last night. They are delicious.
They are also a handful. I still have a case and a half after 4 months or so. I started with 52 beers.

I may be willing to ship a couple if anyone is interested.

They are good, I can only drink 1 at a time due to the heat.

Normally I wash down spicy food with beer, so I can take a ton of heat. I can't see washing down beer with water, so when the beer is the heat, I can't take as much.

OH OH! Send one to me!!! I'll do another beer review!!! (I'll send ya a few bucks for shipping if need be)!

[cheezydemon]

No problem! PM me if you would.

[cheezydemon]

Well.. the beers are on their way. I hope shipping doesn't adversely effect them. ENJOY!

Happy hunting! It did go priority, so Thursday should be right.

[imaguitargod]

I GOT IT! I GOT IT!!!!!!

So that's one of ur homebrews eh? What's the name of it so I can do a review? Main ingredients? Style of beer?

[cheezydemon]

Indeed.


8 lbs of pale 2 row
2 pounds of belgian pilsen
1 oz Cascade Hops
1 oz Bullion hops

6 orange Habs/ripe/roasted , 1 guajillo/green/roasted

White Labs "Irish ale" yeast

It is definitely an American pale ale, but in competition it would go into the "Specialty" category.

I call it simply "Habanero Ale"

I hope you enjoy it.

[cheezydemon]

WELL?!?!?!?!;)

[imaguitargod]

WELL?!?!?!?!;)
Review is in the works....have no fear...

The DragonMead Brewery listed on the link is like 5 miles from me if that I never new they had an Ale made with Chile's I just may have to go back in there soon.

the only ones i've had so far are the chipotle ale from rogue, and the green chili beer from flat branch. wasn't crazy about either of them to be honest. they were both drinkable at least. i think peppers can be a great compliment to beer..just in foods that you are eating with your beer.

my friend from nova scotia that i traded beers with just got a job at garrison brewing co in NS, CA. don't think he's had their jalapeno ale yet. judging by the ratings, that might not be a bad thing either.

[cheezydemon]

Honestly, I use mine more for cooking than drinking. It makes an incredible wing sauce. I also marinated scallops in it. YUMM!!!

[talas]

wow im in shock didnt realize that there where so many chilli beers about..thx for the link..thinx i might have a go at brewing a little fire myself ready for the winter months..nice recipe to,a nice pale ale with chili is always nice to ;)

I found some cheap Quebec jalapeño beer the other day when looking for a brew to put in my chili, seemed perfect, and it was so far as the recipe went, but tasted like arse on its own.

[cheezydemon]

Back me up IGG!! Mine may not have been "crystal clear" but....oh wait. you did have some criticisms of the flavor. (everyone's a critic!!)

Really the one I made has awesome flavor. I wouldn't change it.

My advice is that chile beer works well as the main ingredient, if it is good to begin with.

I use mine as the MAIN ingredient in wing sauce. It would probably work well in chili..... I happen to have a couple left;).
