I didn't know anything ever bugged you. I thought you bugged everything else! :lol:

Looked on Wikipedia, not the greatest source in the world, but a start.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_cocktail
That page listed a very appetizing-sounding "Period Bomb" - a mix of a shot of red wine dropped into a pint of beer... :pukeleft: :puke:

A sake bomb I guess would be rice wine in beer.

This page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:C ... _with_beer linked to a few other beer bombs. The "best" sounding to me was the Black Velvet, champagne floated on top of Guinness. A Snakebite is described as beer floated on top of cider with a dash of black currant cordial added.

Don't know if any of those are what you had in mind ... it all sounds like a horrid waste of good beer. :sad2:

Thanks all.

It runs in my mind as some type of fruit beer but wine is used for the fruit.

Maybe I am just dreaming.
Have Fun!

German taverns will often add a splash of syrup to their Berliner Wiese to cut the acidity, at a customers request. Red is rasberry (Himbeere) or green is woodruff (Waldmeister).
