Why did my Guinness turn into a solid?

1.07K views

On St Patricks day I was having a Guinness. I also had a bottle of Baileys. Clearly somewhat inebriated I thought mixing some Baileys into my Guinness would surely create a remarkable sweet chocolate flavor. Instead, basically half the beer turned into a solid. I assume… it must have curdled? Why? How? What?

I’ve actually made several different milk/cream + beer drinks. What I’ve done for them is heat the milk in a saucepan on the stove, usually with a good amount of sugar, strain through a cheese cloth / tea sock, then store that in a bottle till it cools.

As long as the beer and sweetened milk have both been fully cooled when mixing, it’s always been smooth.

Ends up tasting like a smooth beer milkshake.

A favorite of mine has been Pumpkin Pie Beer mixer. You just take some pumpkin pie filling and spice, add that to milk and sugar in a sauce pan, stir constantly until sugar is dissolved and milk foams up / milk solids rise to the top, then strain.
