DogfishHead

90 Minute Imperial IPA

  This is perfection.  Like most beer loving people out there, I watched Brewmasters and fell in love with DogfishHead Brewery.  To me, it was a Brewery that went against the grain, from what the other big name breweries had been doing for decades.  I love this brewery, now, coming from me that isn't a lot, but I think I know a little about beers (I have been drinking since I was a bald headed kid in Doc Martin boots), and this beer is fucking mint.  Ill buy this brew till the day I die, because if its Dogfish Head, you know its quality.

      Bars pretty okay, they enforce the dress code, don't come in sketchy shirts or shorts, because you wont get in.  Okay, well, you walk in, and youre faced with a wall of doorknobs.  You've gotta find the one that opens the door, pretty easy, unless youre shitfaced, I (as well as my merry band of drunks) wasn't, just yet.  So you walk into a room full of mostly hipster girls and dudes in douchebag button ups and what not, not a problem, they have an alright selection of Beer, and mix drinks for your lady friend (or if your some dude who likes to be called a wimp for drinking mix drinks).  Its an okay bar, nice little spot if you want to drive out of your way to kick back a few and watch the bar maids fucking stumble on orders.  Its a meh from me

 

 

Pros

-Decent price for drinks

-Cute hipster chics around

-Bartenders are awesome

 

Cons

-Bars in a bad part of town

-Dress code is enforced, which is good (to keep out the cholos and gangbangers)

-Bar waitresses are useless when it comes to getting you drinks.

 

 

 

Brewtality Score-  5...No, its a 4 (waitresses suck)

Eagle Rock Brewery

Revolution XPA

  What the hells an XPA?  Extra Pale Ale you stupid fuck.  So I was having dinner with family one night last week, long story short I decided to make a trip to the Eagle Rock Brewery to grab one of there growlers, 30 bucks for the bigger growler with a first fill.  Filled it with Revolution XPA, didn't like the IPA last time I tried it, but I did like the XPA, so it was a match made in heaven.  The beers really crisp, even now a week later the beer tastes fantastic.  So in short, Buy the XPA, its good, not the IPA, that sucks.  Nuff said.

Lagunitas

Born Yesterday Pale Ale

 

 

 

  Lagunitas Born Yesterday Pale Ale, well, its fucking good.  Good enough for this stubborn fuck to go out of my way to find it.  I have a instagram, bro I follow vouched by it so I gave it a shot, and was hooked.  It is the most crisp fucking Pale Ale I've ever fucking had.  It hit my lips like a burst of fucking hops, and just the smell of it poured in a glass would make any Hop Head climax into a wad of toilet paper.  This is my go to Pale Ale now, nuff said, I don't waste my money on shit beer, so if Im telling you to buy this beer, then fucking do it, or you could be like the rest of your buddies drinking piss water, I know youre better then that, hell, Im better then that, so do yourself a favor, buy this fucking Pale Ale, yuh bastard.

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

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.

The Cha Cha

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
