Ok, they don't make real beer, just cheap swill that is surprisingly refreshing on a hot day. Now they're planning on making chocolate flavored beer. Sounds kind of disgusting.

a boozer in dublin does chocolate stout. very nice.

do miller brew anything other than swill?

they should get a new manager,fire everyone and go venture

Just yesterday I saw in the local supermarket beers from some English brewery. One was honey-flavoured, the other chocolate-flavoured.
I was curious, but figured it'd prob taste too sweet.

In NZ, a brewery makes an extremely nice coriander and orange flavoured pilsner. Goes down real quick on a hot summer's day.

Miller decides to brew nauseating beer...and how is this different from their business plan since the beginning of Miller beer?

chocolate beer is good.

Chocolate miller is like melting a hershey bar in a glass of piss, then chilling it.

Yup. Can you say "malt beverage"?

I blame the damn Belgians with their fruity lambic beers. Fuckers don't understand that beer is supposed to taste like malt yeast and hopps. Nothing more, nothing less. You can get an incredible diversity of flavors with those three ingredients and it doesn't require fruit or chocolate.

The end is nigh.

chocolate good. stout good.

Actually they're both (if they're the ones I know) decent, the added flavours are quite subtle, and they're not that crappy Lager stuff that people often confuse with beer.
There's also a banana-bread beer, which is very nice albeit much less subtle.

The really sad thing is that I'm sure Miller expects people to drink this rather than collect it and put it on display like Jones Soda does with those Thanksgiving soda flavors. Brussels sprouts soda? Gross but a neat collector's item. Chocolate soda? What Dee Dee Dee thought that up?

I don't know about chocolate beers but in a chocolate mead you add the coco but no sugar (of course you have the honey to sweeten it a bit but most of that is consumed by the yeast).

Don't know about beer, but Coke recently put out a coke+coffee mixture...

































and gawd... it was awlful!

:( don't blame us, we invented beer, you should be gratefull.

lambic beer without fruit is really refreshing, it's sour instead of the normal bitterness of beer. it is ther perfect beer to learn to drink. i think they added fruit to market it to younger people. just like they did with jenever. Fruity lambic (especially with cherry) is mainly sold to young girls and women, but now it also starts to replace alco-pops.

i think the honey flavored beer wouldn't be that bad, maybe something like mead. the chocolate flavored beer does sound awful though.

That's actualy some good shit. I wish they'd put it out with full sugar though and not part artificial sweetener.

:( don't blame us, we invented beer, you should be gratefull.

No, you didn't.

Beer is one of the world's oldest alcoholic beverages, possibly brewed for the first time over 10,000 years ago, according to renowned beer writer Michael Jackson.

Besides, God gave the Reinheitsgebot to the Bavarians - so if anyone can claim any authority about beer brewing, then it's us.

This topic is way too important to make silly jokes about it.

I thought beer was invented by the ancient egyptians/persians.

I had a really good coffee flavored (http://www.bellsbeer.com/branddetail.asp?BrandID=15) beer last winter. Thankfully, it's coming back soon.

Hmmm... Frederick Miller's Classic Chocolate Lager? Is it a chocolate flavored beer or what's normally called a "chocolate beer"? (The latter is a beer brewed with "chocolate malt" - malt kilned at a particularly high temerature - between brown and black malt. The name refers to the chocolate brown color, not the taste, but it'd be quite easy for a reporter to make that mistake...)

But that'd be a beer brewed with chocolate malt and not a chocolate flavored beer...

do miller brew anything other than swill?

Nope. Not to my knowledge.

BLASPHEMY!! to the gallows with him!

Yeah, but the chocolate is a reference to the color of the malt, not the flavor, I'd imagine.

That's closer at least. ;)

i'm very unchauvinistic, but all that changes when it comes to beer ;)

Hmmm looks like it's supposed to be a chocolate malt:

Miller discovers chocolate

It seems every news outlet in the Midwest has the story about Miller Brewing joining the chocolate beer crowd - like chocolate beers are something new.

Frederick Miller Classic Chocolate Lager, which includes chocolate and dark chocolate malts in the recipe, will be sold in Wisconsin, Chicago, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Valparaiso/northwest Indiana.

BTW, for more info on chocolate malt:
Roasted Malts Chocolate malt is not roasted quite as long as black malt; consequently, it is lighter in color – more dark brown – and retains some of the aromatics and flavor of malt’s sweetness. It imparts a nutty, roasted flavor to the beer but does not make it as bitter as black malt. There are no enzymes in chocolate malt. Chocolate is an essential ingredient in porters and stouts and can be used in mild ales, brown ales, and old ales, and can be incorporated into the grist of dark lagers.

Making black malt involves roasting the malted barley at temperatures so high that they drive off all of the aromatics (malt flavor). There are no enzymes in black malt. In excess, black malt will contribute a dry, burnt flavor to the beer that may be perceived as a bitterness different from that derived from hops.

Mind buying me a case of that?

At $10 per six pack I'd rather not. However, you can get it at better party stores (liquor stores for you heathen out of state people) throughout Michigan.

Did it have caffene in it?

I imagine it did, but it takes a metric assload of caffeine for me to notice it. That comes from my time in the Army when I would drink 3 pots/day.

That's actualy some good shit. I wish they'd put it out with full sugar though and not part artificial sweetener.

Make it on your own, I do that at work in the late afternoon. We've got a near limitless supply of coffee and coke, and it makes a delightful easy mix, since the coffee has long since gone cold.

For something special though, mix in Kahlua, barely noticeable alcohol flavor in that drink.


*edit: I don't mix in the Kahlua at work.

Well, at least you reserve your chauvenism for the important things. One can't ask for too much more of a man. :D

And here, ladies and gents, is the birth of a new system of measurement: The Metric Assload. One Metric Assload is equal to the amount of caffeine Wallonochia needs to have an effect, or to kill the average adult male Elephant.

So, from what I gather, though, is that this beer will be a slightly more "flavourful" and "aromatic" piss swill?

Bravo! I thought I'd gotten metric assload from here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strange_units) but apparently not. However, using the "cup of coffee" as a measure of money one could find out how much money it takes to kill the average adult male Elephant.

I had a stout recently from a PA microbrewery that had a chocolately flavor. It was quite good, actually.

Isn't "nauseating beer" redundant? :p

I'm not beer person anyway, more refined spirits for me (no not the spooky ghost variety).
