Discovered A New Rum Infused Beer Today.

mawnansmiff · Feb 8, 2017

In my local supermarket (Asda, Penryn) I spied a new bottled ale on their shelves...Wadworth's Swordfish.
Described as thus...
"A unique blend of Wadworth beer and Pusser's Navy Rum. Brewed to support the 100 year anniversary of the Fleet Air Arm, but now available all year due to its growing popularity. With a gentle rum aroma and dark, unrefined sugar adding a rich smoothness, it is a full-bodied, deep copper coloured ale with a base of crystal malt and delicate Fuggles and Goldings hops. A very nice pint!"
Being a fan of their other ales I grabbed a handful of bottles. Wadworth, more famous for their 6X ale have really scored here, it is a gorgeous ale, fairly hoppy with just a hint of that Pusser's rum plus at 5% it's no watery beer at all, pretty full bodied.
Am sitting here reading my 'American Colonies' (Alan Taylor), sipping on some Condor Flake in a cob and sipping on some Swordfish...how good is life : puffy

I have a bottle of 20 year old Pusser's navy Rum. It is delicious and I imagine the infused beer would be tasty as well.

I'd be inclined to just go with the ale. Met a guy once who had traveled with his engineering job and recommended the shandy, basically beer and soft drinks. Obviously, this drink depends on how the particular soft drink goes with the beer on hand.

That sounds very interesting, I wonder if anything like that is available around here. I've seen the whiskey infused with beer but was not a fan. Rum in ale would surely be more up my alley.

I don't know if I've had infused, but I have had some Stouts aged in Rum barrels that were great. They must add the rum in the boil to keep it at 5%.

"I've seen the whiskey infused with beer..."
That must really be an awful waste of whiskey...unless you meant beer infused with whiskey?
"I have had some Stouts aged in Rum barrels that were great."
I'll bet they were too, sounds like my kind of stout : puffy

It was J.P. Wiser's Hopped, I guess it's not really beer mixed in it's just flavored with hops.
From their website:

Beer and whisky often go hand in hand. Now, the taste can just go in one hand with J.P. Wiser’s Hopped: a distinctive blend of J.P. Wiser’s whisky and hops for a rich, dark ale finish. J.P. Wiser’s Hopped is made using traditional Canadian Whisky methods, but blended using methods from the brewing industry. At the very end of the process the blended whisky is dry hopped in the same fashion as India Pale Ale beers

Jameson's Irish Caskmates is Irish Whiskey aged in "stout seasoned whiskey barrels." It's pretty good sippin' whiskey.

I've had bourbon infused stout beer. Excellent taste!

I second the bourbon beer. Pretty tasty.

When my wife and I were living in Calif. years ago, we used to pour a shot of Tequila in a Corona beer. (oof!) Then I got tired of beer, except for an occasional Guinness Stout. But I love rum, and rum infused beer might just make me want to drink beer again!

<p>By bourbon infused beer, do you mean you put a shot in your beer?

pappymac · Feb 14, 2017

Bourbon infused beer is beer that has been aged in Bourbon Barrels. Abita Brewing in Louisiana has a couple of good ones like that.

Rum and beer sounds like the Mixture 79 of potent potables.
