Never one to sniff a gift fish, I took them, figuring I could probably at the least use the bottles for cider at some point, but thought maybe in the not too distant future more free beer would magically appear and I'd get enough to make a proper run.
3 years later I'm cleaning my garage, making serious decisions about what to keep, throw out or process further and came across the Coors light.
Originally I was going to just pour them out and throw the bottles away...but...


So, to make sure the boiler had enough to keep the element covered, I added the beer to setback that was in the boiler from my last apple run and ran it, collecting a pint every 10 minutes. About 2.25 gallons later I shut it down. While running I was cleaning carboys, and jars, throwing out bottles and doing various other thing and in the process I somehow cut my finger on some broken glass, although I was careful not to get any in the distillate.
Throughout the run the low wines had an incredibly strong beer flavor so I decided it wouldn't be a good idea to add it to the low wines I already had, which left me with a problem...

So, my solution was to drain then fill the boiler with water until the element was covered by an inch or so, add the low wines and flip the switch, then set about cleaning my shed/shop so Mrs Cranky can sell it

In all I collected 13 pints. I'm pleasantly surprised at the flavor and how little heads it has. So far I've only kept jars 5 through 9, which is about a half gallon but jar 4 has a lot of good flavor and seems to have very few heads and jar 10 also has very good flavor but might be a little too tailsy but I'm considering adding it, after all, I do plan to age for potentially a considerable amount of time.
Just for the hell of it I asked Microsoft's AI to render a label for a whiskey called "Blood Sweat and Beers. Here's what I got
