Happy Hour: Beer Milkshake

Posted by Shaun Seneviratne

I know what you're probably thinking: "Beer and ice cream? Sounds like a recipe for a real shit time."

But 67 Burger in Fort Greene, Brooklyn swears it's good!

The trick to their success is their mixmaster, who feels as though she has a "vaguely telepathic relationship with all the joint's shakes." They've also come up with a few combinations that actually work. Here is the classic recipe:

12 oz. vanilla ice cream
3 fl oz.Sam Adams Boston Lager

Then blend on medium for about 30 seconds and you're good to drink! 67 Burger also makes an orange creamsicle milkshake with Blue Moon, vanilla ice cream, and an orange slice. I think I'm going to try their chocolate beer milkshake: Kelo Nut Brown Ale, vanilla ice cream, and a Bosco chocolate syrup.

Now this seems disgusting. Milwaukee's Best (a.k.a. "The Beast") should never be consumed by any living thing. However, though immensely unpalatable on its own, it apparently tastes awesome in a milkshake! From the New York Times - Fort Greene/Clinton Hill blog:

"Verdict: Amazingly delicious. The beer, watery and light on its own, lends a delectable cereal-like nuttiness to the shake, rendering it highly drinkable."

I never thought I'd say this, but I think I'm going to get a case of "Beast" sometime soon. . .
