Wine Drinkers

Beer and tea… I don’t even think my imagination can conjure such a thing to be decent.

I could actually see it working LP. I had some surprisingly decent beer cocktails while I was in Montpellier France. These were mostly fruit syrups and lager but some of them were really good and they were cheaper than coffee and wine, which was important since at that my point my budget was around 25€ or less/ day.

My first thought was Earl Grey. I think EG beer would be neat.

We have Earl Grey mead here… not sure if I could handle beer with tea.

I’ve actually has a ridiculously good green tea IPA :D one of my favorite beers, so fresh and green tea tasting!

Wouldn’t an IPA be too strong to notice the green tea?

In this case it was a fresher IPA, quite hoppy and green tasting to begin with, then the green tea showed up :D I reviewed it somewhere on here I think!

Ah found my review of it if you are interested :)

I’ve had an Earl Grey beer before from Flying Dog. It was pretty good but not very tea-like. My friend loved it and ended up taking home the rest of my stash.

Just PM where they need to gps themselves to

Let me send you some and you can play arou d with it

Does the mixer look different from other tea? I have alot of tea in my cupboard already that I wouldn’t mind sacrificing to the experiment. Lol.
Although I get the feeling that sweet blends might be more appropriate to light beers like IPA. I’m not sure tea taste would show in a dark beer.

I don’t believe so… but I have 56 grams of this stuff so I’d love to send some out :)

Would you like to try again?

that’s interesting Christina, cause i’ve found the opposite. I used to hate wine, and now i can actually taste some of the nuances when i drink it…and i find i actually LIKE it now haha

Ditto for me Christina. All this tea drinking and I still can’t stomach nor developed a taste for wine or beer.

I tried a couple liquor tea mixes at WTE and they work well with soda.

Wine for me was a process, much like tea is. Initially I didn’t like it much (I grew up in a dry county in a very Bible thumping place), but by now I have grown to love it. My husband and I did monthly food and wine tastings for a long time and it really helped develop my taste for it.

I still have a lot of Bordeaux in my cellar from the 1980s, but my doctor limits me to one glass of wine per week, so it is more than a lifetime supply. I was really happy to discover fine tea since it stimulates my brain and taste buds in a similar fashion. And no, I’m not going to mix any tea into my wine.

That’s how I feel. Unless it’s a bottle of two buck chuck, just for the curiosity, I’m not doing it. I love wine and tea, but separately. I can’t even imagine saying I infused my Bordeaux or cotes-du-Rhone with tea. You looking to unload any bordeaux, lol. Doesn’t hurt to ask.

Trying wine with food opened up a whole new frontier for me, if you’re on the fence about wine try that.

I think Marzipan explained this well; just like tea, the acquiring of the taste of wine takes time. However, it is quite understandable that the taste may never catch on for you. I know for myself, I’ve tried coffee over 10 times and all sorts of grades of it and never have I found myself to enjoy it or want it again. The same is true with people when it comes to tea, beer, wine… but the beautiful part about these beverages is the variety of each :)

To that, I am rather confident saying that there are many teas out there for you and at least a wine.

This is a pretty interesting article. I am not a big beer drinker myself so I definitely wouldn’t mind doing this with a beer. I can actually live with that.

Same here. Don’t drink much beer, but love (red)wine. So some beers might benefit from something like this, or maybe white wine, since I don’t care for it as much…as far as reds go, I don’t think I’d do it, but it might be good to use a fruity/orange tisane to make something like sangria.

Sangria! Now there’s an idea! I don’t really drink sangria but I would not mind trying that with tea. I don’t think I would do whites. I would DEFINITELY NOT do reds.
