BCBS with Pumking. The bourbon and spice of the pumking really meshed well....especially for this time of year! I also have downed a few chambord n stouts.
Two Hearted Buffalo. I've been pouring these for years at our bar. One shot of Buffalo Trace bourbon, filled with 14 ounces of Bell's Two Hearted on tap. Absolutely amazing.
Oberon with absolute oranj, good in the summer, for me its an improvement on oberon. I used to work at a bar, and a bartender friend of mine just started throwing it in there, so I didnt come up with it but do enjoy it.
I don't experiment with adding spirits to beer because for the most part I don't like spirits, but my sweetheart has begun adding a shot of blueberry vodka to a pint of Cisco Grey Lady witbier at every opportunity.

I personally have never mixed them myself. Though, just like with rimming a glass, if it was a beer I've already had a few times, I'd give it a try. Also at a party, I have had a punch made with Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout. Then, there was the time when my friend mixed blueberry whiskey with Stone IPA. I knew it was going to taste awful...just like some nasty cough medicine.
Personally i think beer cocktails are best for beer that would otherwise taste not so great alone or that was lacking in flavor altogether. However stout mixes pleasantly with a lot of things. It is good with ice cream and Kahlua and I'm told it mixes well with raspberry lambic. I personally always took corona and mixed it with lime, pineapple juice and salt ( considering its not acceptable by itself). A local bar also commonly has a menu, where they mix two beers together. It is actually quite tasty sometimes!
Just the usual combos: Old and bitter = a ma in law Old and mild = a grandmother Old and stout = a grandad Light and bitter = a lion bitter or half and half Stout and bitter = Maccy tan, black n tan or special Lager and cider = a snakebite Barleywine and Guinness = Blacksmith Barleywine and rum = Dragons blood
Well first I ask my bartender to pour half a shot of Jameson's Irish Whiskey and have him top it off with some Bailey's Irish Cream. Next, I order a pint of Guiness...
