Recently, I was turned on to a beer mixer that I quite like. It's called a Bitter Monk. Not to be confused with the double IPA from Anchorage Brewery that shares the same name, this combination of two beers - think Black and Tan - comes together to make a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
To make a Bitter Monk, take equal parts Leffe Blonde and Stone Pale Ale. If you're going to use 12-oz. bottles, get yourself a big damned mug, because when you pour the Leffe you're going to end up with a shit-tonne of head. Pour the Leffe first, then pour the Stone in behind it. Don't bother with a bar spoon or Lagerhead: the Leffe and Stone are both more or less equally dense, and they won't separate like a Black and Tan or a Half and Half will. Just let 'em mix.
Then, take your big-ass mug of brew and pour it into your face. Enjoy!

Feel free to drop a line. You don't have to keep it clean - God knows, I won't - but keep it above the belt.
