Co2okie!!!

I've gone over a bunch of different strains and wax. Now, its time to talk about some edibles. There are a bunch of different types of edibles you can make. Anything from brownies to even fried chicken. What i'm going to talk today is True Labs Co2 chocolate covered Oreos. In all honesty, these could be considered dangerous because of how delicious they are. I call these crack cookies because as soon as you take a bite, you want another one. There are a few methods of making edibles. The most popular to the public would be canna-butter. But, that isn't the only way. You can also use Co2 oil or even use wax to make edibles. Im which both of these methods tend to be stronger. The chocolate cover oreos are made with 44mg of Co2 oil. The perks of using Co2 oil over canna-butter is the taste and potency. Canna-butter tends to taste a lot like weed and sometimes seems weak because its hard to distribute how much goes into a product evenly. Co2 is very easy to spread out in food so it has a more even potency throughout the products. The Ture Labs Oreos are absolutely great for low tolerance patients that aren't fans of smoking but need a natural sedative. They are fantastic for pain relief and insomnia.  Hopefully you get to enjoy one or two during this winter hibernation months!!! -Colin 

Flying Monkeys The Chocolate Manifesto

Chocolate lovers rejoice. I have found for you, the most chocolatey beer around. It may be like drinking boozy chocolate milk. Or a million melted tootsie rolls. With booze in them. Flying Monkey brewery's The Chocolate Manifesto is your Wonka beer. It's huge in everything from a 10%abv, to flavor, and mouth feel. The lactose sugars make this one a milk stout and it is ever so creamy. Roasty, sweet, cocoa, caramel. It's dessert in a glass. The packing is as eye catching as it can be, too. So you're sure not to miss this on the shelves. Try playing around with some hard ciders and making snakebites with this one. I've had this beer mixed with McKenzie's Pumpkin Cider and it was pretty damn good. Had Halloween written all over it. Pair this with an insulin shot. Cheers!

LIKE STATUES

Recently we had a chance to interview Like Statues NEW frontman Eric Booth. Eric talks about recently joining the band and about all the cool things they have in the works this fall/winter. One of which is a new EP called "HELL"  that will feature songs influenced by the Seven deadly sins. Here is the Teaser for their new Single "Gluttony"

"Warning this interview might provoke Kenny Forsgren (Like Statues former Vocalist) to comment a bunch of shit about how he is the vocalist on the tracks you have just heard in the interview.  So we would like to address the fact that Eric Booth is not the Vocalist who is on any of the recorded music you have just heard in the interview. and Eric knows this. Because he just joined the band. So obviously he didn't record those vocal tracks. We get it."

6 OVER

Soo this documentary from Dice and Wild Honey has been out for a few years, but it's still one of my favorite modern day chopper flicks. I've talked about a few guys in the film on here already but this lets you jump into their lives and might show you some people you've never heard of. Give it a watch it's worth it!

Founders Backwoods Bastard Scotch Ale

It's here now. Founders Novemberly seasonal Backwoods Bastard. This great big scotch is full of smokey, oaky-goodness. Sort of spiced, molasses notes. The barrels it's aged in impart some vanilla flavors. Huge 10.5% abv makes this one a bit of a sipper, much like a nice scotch. Good now, great later. Save this one in a cool, dark place for a year and you may notice some body added to it. The perfect boozy friend for the chilly nights we're inevitably dealing with now. Pair this with some of that left over halloween candy, because I know you still have some. Cheers!

Beers 101

It's not that I'm upset. I'm just disappointed. I often am told, "I like stouts but not ales...". Well guess what fancy pants, a stout is an ale. So is that fruity beer your bff Jill likes to smash so when her boobs come out she can 'blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol'. To hopefully alleviate some of this confusion, I am going to give you the quick lowdown.

There are two types of beer: ales and lagers. Ales are any type of beer that is brewed at higher temperatures (60-75°F). It's the higher temp that allows the specific type of yeast to ferment and quicker than lager yeast. Lagers are brewed at lower temps (around 34°F) and then further stored in cooler temperatures to mature. Lager is a German word meaning "to store". Aside from obvious labeling, a lager will almost always announce itself with lighter, more crisp flavors. Almost always hay/straw in color. Pilsners, marzens and bocks are all prime examples of a lager. There's really not much more to lagers so that leaves just about everything else as an ale. Only a few random styles make an appearance in a 'hybrid' category.

So there you go. Next time your butthole friend says "Fuck IPA's! Give me a real ale!", you can tell him to go suck a randall. An IPA is an ale. CHEERS!

RD350

So this isn't my usual chopper/Harley rant but a few weeks ago I met up with a new friend and he introduced me to the greatness that is known as the RD350 I just can't get over how cool a 2 stroke street bike is! Sean Byers basically completely rebuilt this orange RD and it's sooo rad! 

After I realized how cool these bikes were I did what every self respecting motorcycle fiend does...try to find one for sale. Nothing yet, but while looking I did find this awesome RD that Brew Bikes put together for the ton-up show at sturgis.

This dude has built so many killer bikes but the blue knuckle above is one of my favorites, my other is the black 4q knuckle with the twisted pipes. The best thing about Max's bikes is that they get ridden! He's made multiple trips across the country on his bikes. Go check out 4q you won't be disappointed.

Southern Tier's Warlock stout

All pumpkin everything. So, I already covered Pumking, why not keep it going? All you pumpkin haters can suck it, don't drink it if you don't like it. Still haven't gotten your fix? Southern Tier offers another pumpkin-packed brew for your throat hole. This time, a stout. Expect big, bold flavors commonly offered by Southern Tier. Don't leave out big abv's. Dust off those ugg boots because it's time to get white girl wasted on the tasty fall nectars. There isn't much to say separate from what I had said on Pumking, just this time it's darker, more bold and still delicious. This treat comes in 22oz bottles only or draft if you're lucky. Pair it with some chilly ass weather and your favorite boo thang. Cheers, babes.

Papa Glide

The papa glide was built for born free 6 by the dynamic Detroit duo Ry seidler of RAS and Brad Richards The Zen Of Neato. This beautiful 58 pan head has so many incredible details that took hours and hours to fabricate. The headlight nacelle sets of the front end, the shifter in the tank blows my mind, and the exhaust and rear fender are so killer. This vintage sport bike inspired chopper esque machine along with the guys that built it are putting Detroit on the motorcycle map.

New Belgium Lips of Faith - Le Terroir

I always want to talk about sour beers every chance I get. I love them. So if you're new to the craft game you've no doubt heard of Fat Tire. It is literally everywhere. Upon tasting your first Fat Tire, you may or may not guess that this brewery has an insane number of tricks up their sleeve. New Belgium's Lips of Faith series has an incredible roster of amazing brews, including some of the best sour, barrel-aged beers I've ever had. One of my favorite beers ever being Le Terroir. This wild ale has a light crisp, easy drinking body but is nicely dry hopped with Amarillo hops for a peachy finish and a touch of Citrus because it's an amazing hop. Having a champagne-like essence this beer is fine on it's own or paired with tons of meats and cheeses. Of course, it wouldn't be surprising that New Belgium's sour program was so good if you had known their head brewer was from a brewery called Rodenbach. If you're familiar with what they do, it all just makes sense. This beer is released once a year and it just came out so go wherever finer beers are sold and just buy up as much as you can. Cheers!
