Official RC Snobby Beer Purchases Thread

I indulge in a pint of North Coast Old Rasputin yesterday, as I awaiting my new set of tires. This may have been the first time I've drank alone in a public setting, and found the experience to be quite enjoyable. No needless confabulation, just my brew, fish & chips, and 2 soccer teams I couldn't give a shit about. The tires, which set me back 4 bills, may have been the most sound purchase I've made in quite some time. I can actually hit 85 m.p.h on the freeway without feeling as if my car is about to fish tail due to unevenness and balding. I kid you not, I was completely stunned when my car hit 90 almost effortlessly. Now lets just hope the tranny has a couple more years left to it.

Those are the same set of tires I bought a couple years ago. I did crazy research for a couple weeks prior.

Last night I had Pliney the Elder Double IPA. Apparently the new lingo is to call such things DIPA which sounds retarded (and therefore awesome). It was fucking amazing.

I also drank something called a Sour Ale which was interesting, almost like a kombucha tea with ralcohol in there. Weird, but good.

Both of these came from Russian River. Russian River is in California. That makes a lot of sense.

I drank these with a lamb burger with brie and some mint sauce. It was called a LULU Burger and was infinitely better than that god damn Metallica shit.

That Ruthless Rye isn't very good at all. I bought it when it first came out and was hugely disappointed.

I hardly EVER drink beer anymore unless I'm hanging out with friends. I mainly been drinking red wine for a while now and the occasional whisk(e)y.

That shit is gaymazing. I had it once. A friend who owns a sweet liquor store hooked me up. The Younger is also supposed to knock yer scrotum straight up into your mouth. Actually, pretty much anything from Russian River is GOLD. I sampled like 5 of their belgian/sour ales a few years back at Ommegang Fest in Cooperstown. That was a crazy weekend.

The Younger is probably the best IPA I've ever had. RR doesn't really make anything less than awesome.

I went up to Russian River a couple years ago and had a chance to chat it up with Vinny Cilurzo. Dude was cool as shit. They had some pale ale (or IPA, cannot recall) on tap that I never heard of, the aroma literally smelled like they stuffed the keg full of weed, it was amazing.

Also - Elder > Younger

Hangar 24 Brewery is 15 minutes from my domicile, they do cask pulls every two weeks. I've only gone to a couple but it's pretty much like the vinyl version of beer. So god damn tasty, last week was their Columbus IPA which was completely different in that form compared to their usual bottled variety. I don't know how widespread they sell yet, but over the course of the last few years they've gone from occasional/trendy local bars to now apparently all of Califuckia as well as Arizona and Nevada, which is pretty keen. Good beer is fuckin' good.
