Since lactose is unfermentable by brewers yeast, it is used primarily to create a fuller-bodied product with heightened mouthfeel as well as add sweetness. The result is a silky smooth, creamy and slightly sweet — depending on the lactose content — brew that is very palatable, even for non-stout drinkers.
Brewers use lactose to add sweetness and a thicker mouthfeel to beers because it's a sugar that brewing yeast can't ferment. Lactose is primarily used in stouts, where the sweeter flavor profile can complement the malt and chocolate notes, but in the last several years it's been added to other styles of beer too.
One of the most common question when it comes to combining beer and milk is whether the beer will cause the milk to coagulate or “curdle.” Beer is a carbonated drink and it's quite opposite in composition in comparison to milk, so it can be a volatile mixture. As a general rule of thumb, beer will cause milk to curdle.
Mlìko, or milk beer, is a style that renders a whole beer white and foamy, resembling a tall glass of milk.
It IS beer made with milk, just not in the sense we're all familiar with. Milk stouts are made using lactose, a sugar found in cow's milk. Lactose does not get turned into alcohol by yeast during fermentation, so it adds body, smoothness and sweetness to the end product.
Milk is also frequently used in stout beers; sweet stout, cream stout and milk stout all contain lactose. Conversely, many cream ales are actually dairy-free.
Does Guinness have dairy? Guinness is created using four key ingredients – roasted barley, malted barley, hops, yeast and water making Guinness dairy-free.
Colabier. Putting anything with beer can make some brew enthusiasts shake their heads, but Coca-Cola might be one of the weirder suggestions. It's a trendy mixture in Germany, where it is called Colabier. Again, as with all beer cocktails, different amounts will lead to different results.
Why do alcoholics crave milk? One reason is that as a diuretic, alcohol causes the body to lose fluids, leading to dehydration. On the contrary, milk is full of nutrients and electrolytes to offset this.
“Beernogs” are commonly made where you may whip the egg up completely. Doing so will mix the raw egg in with your drink, changing the entire beverage. It's a good tactic if you don't like the thought of downing a raw yolk when you get to the end of your beer.
No. The alcohol level in breast milk is essentially the same as the alcohol level in a mother's bloodstream. Expressing or pumping milk after drinking alcohol, and then discarding it (“pumping and dumping”), does NOT reduce the amount of alcohol present in the mother's milk more quickly.
It's commonly believed that consuming milk or something greasy coats the stomach and prevents a person from getting drunk. While this isn't true, having eaten prior to or while drinking alcohol does slow down the absorption of it into the bloodstream (though only modestly).
When hops in beer are exposed to strong light, a photooxidation reaction takes place, creating the compound 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol. To prevent the process of skunking from occurring, beer brewers have opted for darkly tinted glass. It's why you see so many beers in brown glass bottles today.
Milk Stouts are sweeter than dry stouts, and usually sweeter, than Oatmeal Stouts. The dark roasted grains gives the beer the dark color and the stout-like flavor and aroma of chocolate, coffee and caramel, while the lactose gives the beer a balancing sweetness, and it finishes off with a moderate hop bitterness.
But the boil is essential to a good beer for a number of reasons. Besides accommodating the hops schedule the boil also sterilizes the wort, denatures the enzymes that were active in the mash, and stabilizes the proteins.
Generally speaking, breastfeeding your husband or partner is OK. It's not perverted or wrong if you want the person you are intimate with to breastfeed, or if they ask to try breastfeeding or taste your breast milk.
Guzzle Sports Drinks to Hasten Rehydration
Want to gain an edge over plain old water to treat your hangover? Consider reaching for Gatorade, Pedialyte, Powerade, or a similar nonfizzy sports drink.
Milk is a safe treat in small quantities. A few tablespoons of cow's milk or goat's milk on an occasional basis can be a nice reward for your dog. But, you should probably hold off on offering your dog an entire bowl in one sitting, as it can cause unpleasant reactions, including diarrhea, vomiting, and loose stools.
Shotgunning is a means of consuming a beverage, especially beer, very quickly by punching a hole in the side of the can, near the bottom, placing the mouth over the hole, and pulling the tab to open the top. The beverage quickly drains, and is quickly consumed.
That's because in Rochester, Buffalo and the rest of Western New York, the sweet, carbonated drink is typically called a pop. In the rest of the state, it's a soda.

Guinness brewed in Australia has never been more faithful to that produced in Ireland, the brewer says, but not everyone is convinced. The common refrain that Guinness is at its best in Ireland is an “old wive's tale”, Guinness ambassador Domhnall Marnell told Brews News.

For the past two centuries years, an obscure bit of fish product has been hiding in Guinness. Isinglass is a gelatin derived of fish bladders, usually taken from the sturgeon, that is used to filter and clarify the ale. It ensures the yeast separates from the liquid.
