Why we're here...

Beer culture is coming of age. At any store, restaurant, bar, or friend's house you can now find at least a few good brews. In fact, there seem to be so many new beers, breweries and bars it's difficult to separate the good, the bad, and the mediocre.

If you're going spend $10 on one beer, what should you buy? If you're going to drive 2 hours to check out a brewery, what's worth your time? If you're going to plan a Friday night, what has a good selection and friendly atmosphere? We're here to help you answer these questions.

Ass Kisser Double IPA

Ass Kisser Double IPA is brewed by Rahr & Sons Brewing Company of Fort Worth, Texas. While brewed at Rahr & Sons, Ass Kisser is its own unique brand. The blog is a bit confused, because the website states they have other beers, but can't seem to find them.

You can buy Ass Kisser at BevMo in Sacramento. It has an ABV of 9%.

The beer pours a cloudy, light amber with a thick, creamy, off-white head that leaves thick lacings.
