The basic ideas are very straightforward and trivial.
One easy option is to mix different brews. It is not uncommon among brewers
and especially employed in those beers made with wild yeasts which have a
naturally high acidity level. In your case it is the sweetness requiring
blending.
When mixing with liquor you may think of getting a balance between the
harshness of alcoholic strength and the softness of sugar. Many strong beers
combine these two features together, sweetness and strength. The type of
liquor seems not very relevant. It depends much on the flavour of the beer and
on the preferences.
Other mixing possibilities are dilution with low sugar or low flavour
components. Or adding components with higher acidity. Juices or soda's are an
example.
