making crap beer taste good.
years ago my last tech-monkey worked for small cash prizes, food and beer. and, he only drank shitty beer, so i still had some in my cupboard from his last visit years ago. i'm not much of a drinker, and when i do drink beer i prefer it to be of middling quality or better.

beer bread? easy, but crap beer makes bread that stinks - i prefer a stout for bread. best solution is to make one of my favourite occasional drinks (as in i drink these once every few months), a redeye. a redeye is made of equal parts beer and tinned tomato juice, with some horseradish thrown in for a kick.

some people think this an abomination, but i love them. for added fun, mix in ground celery seed (not celery salt, tinned tomato juice is generally too salty already), pepper, or use very hot horseradish or wasabi or daikon. instantly crap beer is made to taste decent - you can swap in a good beer if you want to, but just stick to pale varieties for the best results. guinness + tomato juice = ick, trust me.
