Attention, 'nog heads! If you live in the small cross section on the Venn diagram of "beer lovers" and "eggnog lovers," then boy oh boy, do I have the most perfect holiday brew for you. It's called Beer Nog and it's exactly what it sounds like: heaven.
Beer nog comes from the crazy and wonderful mind of Randy Clemens, co-author of both the Craft of Stone Brewing Co. and The Sriracha Cookbook. It takes all the most beloved aspects of eggnog — namely cream, eggs, sugar, and nutmeg — but uses a boozy barrel-aged strong ale in place of the traditional hard liquors.
Sounds pretty darn good, right?! I think I know what I'll be serving at my holiday party this year.

Is it really genuinely good? I LOVE both homemade egg nog and Old Viscosity but I can't for the life of me imagine them tasting good mixed together. I guess I'll just have o try it to find out.
Same question - is it actually better than hard liquor, or are the two ingredients tastier on their own?
Flash taste test using store purchased Kroger brand eggnog and Iron Horse Brewery's Irish Death AND... it tastes like really, really soured eggnog. *gross face* I don't know... Maybe something like Southern Tier's Creme Brulee Stout? (Maybe Kroger brand stuff just sucks that much?) Regardless, will not be repeating this! Bring on the hard liquor.
