title_body: Beer cocktail recommendation
upvoted_answer: A few fairly popular (and very different) beer cocktails are:
  
  
  The Boilermaker or Depth Charge
  The original English version was a mix of draught and brown, but it's more recently been popularised in Australia and the USA as a pint of beer with a shot of spirit (usually whisk[e]y) in it. If the shot is poured in, it's a Boilermaker. If the entire shot glass is dropped into the pint glass, it's a Depth Charge. Take care as this can make you very drunk more quickly than you expect (some may consider this a feature, but I'm trying to post responsible advice here).
  Useful when: you want to make your beer (or your spirits) more interesting.
  The Black Velvet
  Equal parts stout and champagne served inna champagne flute. The stout is floated on top for a striking visual effect.
  Useful when: you want to add some class to your beering.
  The Michelada
  Lager spiced up with lime juice, salt and hot sauce. There are many variations, some including things like clam juice, tomato juice, worcestershire sauce or chilli flakes. It's kind of like a Bloody Mary in beer form.
  Useful when: you want to treat a hangover.
  The Shandy
  Equal parts beer and a softer drink, usually lemonade.
  Useful when: you don't really like beer or lemonade but there's not much else on offer.
