I used a new smoking gun to create a smoked beer tonight. I started with a Yukon Red Amber Ale brewed in Whitehorse, Yukon and infused it with mesquite smoke. It was quite simple really. Fill the smoke gun with mesquite wood chips, turn on the gun, light the chips, insert hose in beer for about 30 seconds and remove the hose. I kept the beer covered with plastic for about 2 minutes or so, then removed the plastic and tasted. No problem smelling the smoke on the beer (sounds like a new song, Smoke on the Beer) and I do believe I taste it as I sip the beer. Yup, it definitely tastes smokey and I think a bit more bitter than the first taste I had before smoking. So there you have it. You can have your beer and smoke it too!
Now what to eat with this smoked beer?
