Rahr Ass Kisser Double IPA isn't the greatest sycophant

I’ve been feeling sick all day and I missed out on a Temecula Wine Country /Breury Tasting filled afternoon that David and Karl were able to enjoy. David was kind enough to bring back a couple provisions series beers for us to drink the next couple days.

He also brought back a funny story from The Bruery. A kid our age brought in his parents to the Provisions store. The mom said they were very excited to try their beer because their son loved it so much – do they have anything that was similar to Budweiser? For anyone who has had craft beer, especially a Bruery beer, that’s an asinine, ridiculous question. That’s like asking somebody in the Bordeaux region if they have any cheap Chianti. The Provisions Store employee was a professional and in a herculean effort, responded to the lady’s questions politely and deftly. I couldn’t believe their son hadn’t prepped them on the Bruery’s beers which he apparently loved so much. In the words of Paul Newman, “I think what we have here, is a failure to communicate.”


This is from Fort Worth and I’m partial to any beer from my home state. Not bad malt flavor but the hop balance isn’t coming through. I’m not impressed with the quality of this, as much as I want to because of the Ass on the label. I’m getting rid of this so I can hit the hay early and overcome this cough. Maybe I have the black lung after spending 30 years down in the coal mines.  ARMAGEDDON rating.
