You came, you sipped, you wanted more. Here are the recipes for the beer cocktails that Red Square prepared at tonight's Booze 'n' Brews: Meet the Beer Cocktail. Enjoy!
Black Velvet
6 oz. sparkling wine or Champagne
6 oz. Wolaver’s Oatmeal Stout
Over the back of a cold spoon, fill a slender pint glass halfway with stout, then top off with sparkling wine. Serve.
Michelada
One lime, halved
Coarse salt
Ice
1-2 oz. tequila (preferably blanco)
One lime, halved
Dash of hot sauce
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
1 bottle of Otter Creek Spring Bock
Juice the rim of a glass with a cut lime, then roll the rim in salt. Fill the glass with ice and squeeze the juice of the lime over the top. Add the tequila and a few drops of both the hot and Worcestershire sauces, then top the glass off with Spring Bock. Serve.
Spring Shandy
Splash of St. Germain
6 oz. Otter Creek Spring Bock
6 oz. sparking lemonade (or ginger beer)

Pour a splash of St. Germain into a pint glass. Fill it halfway with Otter Creek Spring Bock, and the rest of the way with lemonade. Garnish with a mint sprig, and serve.
Beer-Ini (a twist on the Bellini)
1 oz. peach-orange simple syrup (or regular simple syrup will do)
1 tbsp. pureed peaches
2.5 ozs. Wolaver's Wildflower Wheat
Fresh raspberries
Spoon peaches into a champagne flute, add simple syrup, and stir. Top with Wolaver's Wildflower Wheat, and then float a fresh raspberry or two on top and serve.
