Had a sip of the Voodoo and literally spit it out.

I was one step ahead of you, I refused the beer!

I had a maple bacon porter once that was delicious. The bacon flavor didn't last more than a couple months though. They infused bacon into vodka and added that to the beer.

Somebody at Big Brew one year did a smoked maple porter. Their idea was that the smokiness represented bacon without the actual flavor of bacon. So that ended up being somewhat less hideous than a bacon beer but still not really my thing.

HERE is something from our local board. I did not have the chance to try this stuff but the brewer and a number of other locals tried it and said it was very nice. His process for getting the bacon into the beer seemed VERY complex but it must have worked. My smoked beer (1 pound of Weyermann smoked malt) is kegged, cold and carbed and smells a bit like bacon. Haven't tasted it yet but I'll keep you posted. Cheers.

I drank the voodoo.  I wouldnt fight someone for another one.  And at the price point, you can have it.

 

I have had one or two ok bacon beers.  I say ok because they were fine, but I wouldnt want another.

 

 

To me bacon beer is not a good idea.  The primary characteristics that we love about bacon are salty, fatty, and smokey.  We can do smokey, but salty and fatty just arent achievable in any real or good way in  a beer.  Just my opinion, but this is why I think bacon beers are kind of a futile effort.  YMMV

Ok.  Mod shenanigans are getting a bit out of hand. Keep it in the PH.

A guy in my club makes a bacon beer, and even dry "hogs" it for extra bacon flavor. More of a I can do it beer than something you really want to drink

[ChefLamont]

Please oh please tell me its cooked at that point.

Dude, when I made a tofu beer, the deal was that I got to make fun of anybody who said they could taste the tofu!

[denny]

Tofu in the mash...

You are a sick man.

He ended up a sick man after drinking that beer.

yes cooked and drained to get rid of the most grease he could.

Ok good.  So now I can just throw up a little bit.

Mods messed with "bacon". I'd cut off someones hand if they tried to put tofu in my beer.

Mod...not mods. FTR I had nothing to do with it.

I needed to make something to represent Eugene.  Pot beer was out of the question.  Tofu was the obvious answer.
