Pipe Fitter, beer cocktail:

Have you ever wondered if some one has created a particuler cocktail ? I have, a beer cocktail to be specific. In this case it turns out to be one called a "Pipe Fitter", it's somewhat along the lines of a "Boiler maker" but is more of a mixed cocktail. It was concieved in 2017 by a friend who is a retired pipe fitter and machineist and a current amateur brewer. Not one to let things go to waste; when he would have a "brew" that was overbearing and too strong to drink on its own he'd blend it down with other things to make it more palatable. It turns out to be a pretty good beer cocktail. He named it a "Pipe Fitter".

Here's the basic recipe: In a pint glass, mix 1oz stout, heavy strong ale, or porter, whatever you find too strong for your tastes, with 1/2 oz spiced dark rum and fill the remainder whatever pilsner or lager you have handy. Your cheap clear beer now becomes a much more fulfilling and flavorfull cocktail ! Enjoy!
