Steak and Streetcars

Call it boredom, call it a love for beer (or ice cream), but no matter what it was, something drove me to try my hand at making a beer ice cream today.

Not only have I never made iced cream before - I don't have a machine, which means I had to do it the long way, which I'll describe here. I'll save my thoughts on the finished product until the end, but all I'll say is that I definitely recommend at least trying it.

Trailhead Lager - brewed by
Wellington Brewery in
Guelph, ON. 

I went with Trailhead Lager for this, mainly because I had a ton of it in the house. I just tried it yesterday as well, and you can find my review for it here. It's a regular lager, and I figured that the brand didn't matter too much, since it was being used as an ingredient.

I gathered a few different beer recipes online, but knew that I'd have to modify them all slightly since I didn't have an iced cream maker.
