there are over 100 beers named DARK STAR. Hippies....
So I imbibed this concoction today with some pleasant results. It poured pitch black and thick like a milkshake, head was medium brown with medium sized bubbles that scaled about an inch and a half up the glass and stayed there. The front end was like a mix of chocolate and Pepsi, really sweet, giving way to a dark coffee middle that coated your tongue. The bitter only really hit on the back and it was still disguised by the sugar in the brew. This thing came in at 8% abv and it kicked like a mule. I was tipsy by the time I finished the glass. Was decent for something in its category. It has me interested in what else they have to offer.

Twisted Cain is an American Black Ale that pours black in color with red hues passing through the edges of the glass, topped with a creamy off-white head. This medium bodied brew leads with a pleasant roasted aroma, before a sweet dark fruitiness, that ends in slightly bitter and dry finish.
For now:
For later:
Currently enjoying dales pale ale and mamas little yell a pils from Oskar Blues.
At $6.96 a six pack...another no brainer
Checked out a new pizza place that opened up recently in San Luis Obispo. It is called Blast 825 Taproom. The pizza was decent...but the real draw is the beer. They have 40 craft beers on tap and it's all self-serve. You open a tab and are given a bracelet with a RFID tag in it. To pour a beer you touch your bracelet to the screen above the beer and activate the tap. You pay by the ounce. When you are done, they scan your bracelet and pay for whatever you consumed.
Quite Obv where my taste lays these days.
I can't get enough of this
