And Talking about Ingredients That dont Work In Beer

[johnnyboy1965]

It says Tzatzaki Sour on the label, and they are not joking. This is the ultimate "joke" of a beer.
10/10 for discription ( Trading Standards wont have a problem there)
10/10 for Marketing...some one persuaded my wife to pay £2.99 for this beer.

The brewer responsible should be made to actually drink a bottle.

I took the rest of the bottle to work and actually made 2 Chefs vomit

I had to google what tzatziki is. Why on earth would you make beer with it

 

[johnnyboy1965]

In fact I think that it is so bad I will buy 6 bottles and post to anyone who wants to drink this bottle of ****. Just to prove my point (not that it needs proving)
I would e-mail the company, to express my opinion, but I drank this "beer" 24 hours ago, and still haven`t quite yet recovered from the shock.

You might think that this is a vindictive post, but Ive just had a Chef phone me up saying that he cant come into work tomorrow has he is still feeling sick after that beer I made him taste

According to the wikipedia article, it says "The Greek word tzatziki comes from the Turkish word cacık.." That sounds too much like cack so I definitely be giving this one a miss! :shock:

Guaranteed they'll be some wally (hipster) posting about this on Twitter somewhere stroking his ridiculous beard, saying what an amazing beer it is, and how it challenges the perceptions of how beer should taste etc.

Whilst deep down inside they really do know it's horrible

I'm all up for trying these things but they've been some really random combinations going about. The Wild Beer one with seafood additions was pretty out there though part of me wants to try it as I love both beer and seafood but I'm really not sure about merging them into one?

With the seafood in beer its the salt you can taste and it brings out the flavour of the malt/hops/yeast ie Oyster Stout

Actually that's very true, forgotten about that particular combination. I've had a few oyster stouts over the years and have enjoyed them.

When you look at Jamie Oliver's recipe for tzatziki (yes, I had to look it up too), there are a number of ingredients in it that 'may' be ok in a beer individually - cucumber, lemon, mint, possibly dill. But when you mix them all together with garlic and yoghurt and add them all at once to a beer...:drink::sick:

This beer is sour yoghurt only. Ive got to contact the brewery responsible.
36 hours later and Im still feeling sick

So you bought a beer called Tzatziki Sour and are suprised it tastes of Tzatziki and don't like it. Genius.

I thought it was alright to be honest. Interested to know how they managed to get it tasting *exactly* like tzaziki. Having said that, 1x330ml bottle was plenty enough for me. Glad I tried it. Well done for making. Now let's all carry on with our lives :)

Edit: FWIW, Mad Hatters are are really interesting brewery who do a huge number of really great beers too (so don't let this put you off!) & as alluded to above, they did sort of warn you at the outset by calling it a Tzaziki sour And telling you it's flavoured with mint, cucumber & soured with yogurt ;P

 

[Sadfield]

Can't comment on the beer Johnnyboy1965 drank, but I tried the first brew of this at indymanbeercon 2015. However, the brewing personnel at Madhatter has changed, with the headbrewer moving to Fourpure, and I've heard rumours that MH beers aren't what they were. I thought it was refreshing and well brewed, with fragrant cucumber and mint. Respect the skill in the brewer hitting the desired flavour profile. Saying that I wouldn't buy it purely as a beer to drink on its own, but then I don't eat buckets of Tzatziki either. Considering it has been in regular production for 2 years, suggests some people like it and not as challenging to people with a broader palate.

This really made me laugh. Cant imagine how rank it must be. I make tzatzaki sometimes but would of never thought to add it to a beer. Staggering what some think is a good idea.

 

[Druncan]

Rank beers,,,,,,, We will be going to Glasgow next week for a business stock up trip. Nice break off Tiree. I am determined to go back to Brewdog and try some more of their draught beers. We haven't found a single one that we can drink more than half a pint,,,, Is it us? or are we missing some taste buds?,,,,,

There also seems to be so many beers out there loaded with excess citra that taste rough and smell of cat's*iss to me. (sorry, I'll leave now,,)
Anyone recommend good draught beers to try?

 

[strange-steve]

Lactic acid is mostly what makes a sour beer sour, and it's also what makes yogurt sour so it's not really a mad idea. Tbh I think cucumber and mint in a weisse sounds pretty good.

Any company that has produced a "sour yoghurt" beer into production, needs shooting. I will now rest my case.
P.S....Buy a bottle and drink it and then tell me that I am wrong

"Yogurt souring" is just the method of adding the bacteria, much like adding L plantarum, unmalted barley or a pure lacto culture, the result is the same. Weisse is a beautiful style but obviously it's not for everyone.
