This is amazing! I mean, I used all the wrong ingredients -- bourbon instead of rye, a low-cal (80 calories per can) IPA... but it still sings and bites in all the right places. Thanks for brightening a cold, gray, freezing rainy day!

Thanks for this. It took the edge off the Patriot's horrendous loss tonight.

I used 90 minute IPA which actually might be too bitter for this drink in the proportions listed above.
Overall, I like this as something different to try, but don't think it beats a good, classic Manhattan.

I don't get it. I love Manhattan cocktails(my winter drink of choice) but I don't think that this is any more a beer cocktail than a classic Manhattan is a vermouth cocktail.

Greg, I don't know if beer needs to be the primary ingredient in a beer cocktail. After all, at least a couple of the classic beer cocktails are no more than 50% beer (like the Snakebite or Black Velvet). Anyway, I don't think that you'd lose much if you upped the ratio to 50-50 and just used a less bitter beer.
lastnightsdir, I am glad you and I agree on the proper way to keep house.

I'm not, by nature, a cocktail guy. I made this one, though. I felt like I was transported to "Mad Men". A man's man's cocktail. However, using one ounce of a good beer to make a Manhattan, while creative, doesn't cut it for me as a 'beer cocktail". I'm a haff to vote for the other guy.

I like the originality of this drink, however, technically it is not a beer cocktail. To meet that definition, beer needs to be the primary ingredient. I'll still vote for this one though.
