Brew Review 5#

Kona Brewing

Big Wave Golden Ale

 

  Picked this up at Fresh and Easy about a week ago, figured Id try it and write a review on it. Beers a pretty straight forward Ale, nothing to write home about.  I'm not a Hawaiian, and I have no reason to visit that fucking island, so if you're broke and don't want to save, buy this beer, its a no thrills kinda beer, like Blue Moon.  Buy it, or don't, I don't care

Brew Review 4#

Eagle Rock Brewery

Populist IPA


 I wanted to like this brew, I loved my trip to the Brewery, and I loved the XPA they offered, but nope, I just couldn't.  I cracked open this bad boy after a long day, poured it into a fancy fucking beer glass, and sipped.  Mediocre, well, the taste was good, but the bite at the end faded way to fucking quickly, and for a IPA, it lacked integrity.  Fucking shit, look at me, busting out my big words on this review.  I chugged the remaining bottle, and came to terms with the fact that, a brewery that I love, not pleasing me on the IPA front, fuckin aye.

Brewtality Bar Review #1

The Cha Cha

2375 Glendale Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90039
Silver Lake        

 


 
So, how the hell did I end up at a once gay bar in the heart of hipster country (Silver Lake/Eagle Rock)?  Easy, the drinks are cheap.  Place is mostly filled with hipster kids listening to thug rap music or what not, pretentious hipsters who listen to NWA and go to art walks?  Yeah, that's the crowd.  Bartenders are nice enough, atmosphere, is, well, pretty gay.  First drink I had was a PBR, partly because I knew I was going to have some quality shit later on, and didn't want to waste my cash on the usual Golden Road IPA "safe choice", so I went with PBR.  You can wear whatever the hell you want when coming here, I was dressed pretty sketch and the bouncer with a cold, and idiotic face tattoos, didn't care.  You'll see the occasional thugged out mex/black/azn/Armen/ whatever else, but for the most part, its whatever. 

Pros

Drinks Are Cheap
Good starter bar for those new to the area
Hipsters galore, hell I hate hipster culture, but they do have some lookers among them, no shame in admitting that.

Cons

If your accepting of gay culture, youll do fine, if not, then don't go.
Pretentiousness level (7)
They only play rap music, so if you wanted to hear some old school DC hardcore and or alternative (Husker du/faugazi) then youre out of fucking luck.

Brewtality Score- 5

Beer Review 3#

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

 


                I have a love/hate relationship with this beer.  In some ways, it’s like Newcastle, in the way that I had it when I was young and now hate it because the taste reminds me of my drunken youth.  And I love, because it’s a fucking good Pale Ale.  It’s pretty smooth, with a little bite that fades quickly, so it’s for the lighter weight people I guess.  First time I had this beer was at a show, some shitty band was playing, and my bald head 15 year old ass feel in love with this brew.  So if youre a 15 year old punk kid, youll be glad you got this instead of the cheap black Hobo 2-11 beers out there.  A nice walk down memory lane, but, better pale ales out there, no doubt.  Its like an old fucking song you hate now, but you secretly still love (Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch).  Buy it, or don’t, I don’t give a fuck.

Beer(ish) Review 2#

Fruli (Not just for woman or dainty men anymore)


                                I was out one night, grabbing a drink at a local (hipster) German sausage joint, person I was with asked me what she should have, pointed to the most girly sounding drink on the menu, boy was I wrong!  Well, half wrong.  The drinks pretty girly, but not Smirnoff girly, you wouldn’t be fucking laughed at if you covered the label and such.  Also, word to the wise, don’t pour it into a glass, it pours a dark pinkish color, so your giving your buds enough ammunition for the rest of the night.  All that shit aside, it’s a pretty tasty “beer”, if you don’t want to drive to the store and your girls got a few left, down um and make yourself go out and buy a real brew.

   This fine fucking beer comes to you, by way of two breweries, Sierra Nevada and Dog Fish head.  I first had this beer a couple of months ago at some buds barbeque, surprised that some dude who had no idea what an IPA was, actually bought something other Bud Light or Newcastle.  It’s smooth, with a bit of a kick.  Personally, anything associated with DogFish Head, in my book, is fucking golden.  Look up the brewery (Dogfish Head) and you’ll see why, those fucking dudes know how to crank out quality brews.  Nuff said, go out, buy this fucking IPA, its good, and it’s worth every penny.  So don’t be a cheap fuck and buy some piss water, quality instead of quantity.

Intro To The Blog

  I am no beer connoisseur, just a middle class man who loves to wet his whistle with fine craft beer.  I, by no means, should be a reliable source for beer advice, but hell, here I am.  I listen to sketchy music, and I'm politically incorrect, so here we go, Welcome to Brewtality, real beer for real people, none of that fancy shit.
