Pilsner infused with coffee? Misappropriation of a time-honored name? * Amok potluckery masquerading as 'creativity'? Yes, yes, and yes.
But, no. Merely because one can , does not mean one should.
In the pilsner pictured above, as counter-example, there was no coffee. Rather, a brewer had used skill (and art) to render something difficult as tangible. The brewer had 'created' —as in, to have "brought something into existence"— refreshment.
Simplify? It was a beautiful pilsner beer, for 26 August, 2015.
