@@TastingHistory Our 1 week of summer ended last week in England, so now that the cold times are on their way back that drink looks and sounds really nice
Very similar to Swedish äggöl (egg beer). Except it only uses the egg yolks to thicken the hot ale, often mixed with svagdricka (a sweet, very low alcohol type of beer which could be drunk by both children and adults). It also has sugar and sometimes cinnamon and/or lemon added before drinking. It basically seems like a beer based custard to me and I don't know why anyone thought that would be a good idea.
Please do Marie Antoinette’s bone broth, she drank a cup of it every day when she ate lunch which could involve something as simple as a egg salad sandwich to something more fancy like Squid Ink Pasta
Figured, given the time period, that it would include rum. Another disaster of note -- the great rum fire of 1933, also in London. Oh -- and I was interested to see that there were five ingredients -- because the word "punch" comes from a Hindi word meaning "five," and while punch would evolve to be more complex, early on, most stuck to that number of ingredients.

It's a cold, wet day here in Canberra, Australia, and that looks like the perfect drink for our conditions. Thank you for thinking of all your viewers in the antipodes!
I've made a few beer mulled beer cocktails and It for sure makes a difference what beer you use. Porter has worked for me in a few recipes but if you are making a hot desert beer cocktail you usually cant go wrong with an English ale. Don't use anything hoppy though, it tastes horrible. Taste the beer before hand, never use cold beer or it could go skunky. If the beer doesn't taste good at room temp probably isn't the best choice.
This reminds me so much of the Great Molasses Flood in Boston in 1919. We did a project on it in Calculus determining the rate of flow of molasses through the city streets. Maybe there's a video on molasses and the flood you could do?

Nice Max, that sounds awesome for the holidays! I might suggest (and maybe it is noted below), you can temper the egg mixture with ladle-full volumes of the beer mixture at a time so you don't have to hold the whole pot!

I think for these drinks it would probably be excellent idea to temper the eggs. This basically involves taking the eggs and putting tablespoon or two in a time to bring them up to closer to the beer temperature. Reducing your risk of scrambled eggs.
My wife and i don't drink that often but have recently begun enjoying to have some drinks while watching drinking history. She got drunker than planned and just died laughing at the sound of you beating the egg yolks and made us listen to it again and again😂 thank you for all you do

This is like the beer version of sangria -- what you do to make the lower quality stuff enjoyable. I wonder if you can't make more of a zabaglione with this by mixing in some mascarpone and making a kind of tiramisu by soaking gingersnaps in stout and layering this with it.
The timing of this show is hilarious since lager is currently lagging in the UK -- that is, there's a beer shortage! Another gem of a vid, Max. You just keep getting better! Good show!

Supposedly you can still smell molasses in the neighborhood on hot summer days.
At least the beer flood wasn't boiling hot and sticky; hot molasses is a horrible way to go, not that drowning in a beer flood is a whole lot better.

So very true. Where are those kid gloves of mine?
“Oh, god, they never stood a chance…”
“Are you kidding? They got out twice to pee!”
Love the setup you have! It’s so classy and wonderful-looking!
Certain dark beers already have a caramel taste (like Guinness sim.), perfect for this punch 🙂
What I'm wondering: did you two manage to finish this gigantic punch bowl of beer, rum and eggs ?🥳
Now THAT'S a good question! Max, did you and Jose call your friends over for an impromptu party?
Very interesting 🤔. We have family game night on the weekends and this sounds like a neat thing to try out as we sit around the table playing D&D. All adults lol. As always, I enjoy your content
Describing an act as having been done "casually" is like an old mentos commercial. It's basically permission to get away with anything.
I hve fallen in love with ur channel also I hope u never stop making the drinking history series…
What a story!!! And the beer punch looks interesting.... I DID like the butter beer, so maybe this is the next challenge. Think I'll take your advice, though, and wait for cooler weather ;)
Love your title card intro for this new series!! Props to the person who made it!
This is like the beer version of sangria -- what you do to make the lower quality stuff enjoyable.
I wonder if you can't make more of a zabaglione with this by mixing in some mascarpone and making a kind of tiramisu by soaking gingersnaps in stout and layering this with it.
Jeez, are you trying to seduce me???
@@elfieblue3175 Depends. How much money are you worth?
@@jcortese3300 Clearly not enough with a menu like that.
The timing of this show is hilarious since lager is currently lagging in the UK -- that is, there's a beer shortage! Another gem of a vid, Max. You just keep getting better! Good show!
When I was in college I always thought a place getting flooded with beer would be the best place to be in. This video taught me different.
This reminds me of the Boston molasses flood in 1919.
Max, you could have used to ladle to add the beer to the frothy eggs instead of holding the pot in the air.
"Adorable Pikachu Spatula"
My Brain: "Write that down! Write that down!"
Reminds me of Nino's Home.
I imagine Max would be good friends with him.
The staid expressions on the characters in that old illustration as they are getting swept away is hilarious. "I say, this is suboptimal."
Definitely saving this for a snowy cold day this winter! Does it count as a soirée if it's just my sister and I? 🤔
Only if you dress fancy!
