In celebration of this weeks Force Awakens premier we present to you Death Star! Finally an indica that is appropriate for night and day time. Of course it would be named after Star Wars. Death Star is a blend of the indica strain Sensi Star and the sativa Sour Diesel. Both strains have such dramatic effects that you would think the high from them being put together would drive you insane. Death Star is known to be a heavy indica, which is true but, the amount of euphoria that it takes from its sativa side is amazing. This strain is recommended for daytime or nighttime. It has great pain relief and tones of mental help. I would say this is a great strain to keep around for an anytime use. Its fairly popular now-a-days so, i'm sure you won't have trouble finding it! Keep it real! -Colin
A few weeks ago, I touched on a cannabis product that most of us stoners call dabs. This week i'm going to talk about one of the methods you take dabs. Dab rigs are essentially bongs for the most part. They do make dab pipes but, they are absolutely awful and I don't recommend using them. The way you use dab rigs is a bit different.... Some say that it reminds them of how you would smoke crack and in which is why some don't partake in a dab sessions. You can use any normal water bong. The only extra pieces you need is a torch, dab nail and a dabber. Dab nails are made out of either quartz, ceramic or titanium. Each nail has different benefits. Dabbers are a glass or titanium rod that you use to touch the dab (wax) to the dab nail. You consume the dab by heating the nail with the torch then taking the dabber with the wax on the end of it and putting to the heated nail. The reason that dabbing is even popular is because it sedates you more than any other way of consuming marijuana. For patients with pain, some say it works better than the best narcotic. For stoners, they say it feels like the first time they've ever smoked again. Dabbing is the ultimate high. Peace! -Colin

Jeremiah Armenta is another one of those guys that I'm sure you've heard of but deserves a shout out anyways! Like a lot of chopper folks started out in his garage, now he has bikes and customers all over the world. In my opinion this guys doing it right, with help from his friends Love cycles has just moved in too his new spot in Phoenix. If you're in the area go pop in and check out the chopper goodies, or grab a coffee from their little coffee corner.

Sours! All of them, please and thanks. This one happens to be one of my favorites. Not only is it delicious and a near perfect sour, it's also readily available and for an exceptional price. Especially considering the methods used to make a Flemish Ale. Rodenbach has been making beer since the 1800's so the history is all in the sip. It's around 5%abv so it's not here to get you drunk as it is to give you flavor. Dark fruit notes, acidic sour, yet sweet bite, and a very present carbonation but not overwhelming. Flemish ales tend to be nice and vinegary, but in the best way. It's a crazy blend of flavors that just finish so nicely. You're sure to find this where most imports are found. Cheers!

This Saturday at the loving touch. "Malo Konjche" the long awaited solo project of Ex Dillinger/Old Gods Front man Jeff Tuttle will finally be released! "Eudaimonia" (from what we hear) will be heavily inspired in 70's arena rock. In our previous interview with Jeff, he informed us that this has been a project years in the making. So we are excited to finally hear it! Plus you can pick up the 150 gram 12" Vinyl at the show and rock out with our Dudes in REVEREND!
So do what you have to, change plans or even make new plans and come out this saturday night. Or Else! -Aren
You're thirsty, this is what you're having. Dating as far back as the 17th century "nog" used to refer to a style of strong beer. A "noggin" was a small cup used for drinking that beer. Most culinary anthropologists believe modern eggnog descended from a thick, boozy, late-medieval concoction called posset that was composed of hot milk and hooch enhanced with whatever spice the lord of the castle had on hand. Much like bottle fermenting, Nog can be aged for up to a year. The chemical interaction that takes place makes all the separately discernible flavors of cream, egg and booze become the one flavor known as egg nog. Typically bourbon is the booze of choice in most nog's, rum was the preferred choice in colonial days. So there you have it. A few things you probably didn't know about an old boozy, practically ice cream, beverage. Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving!

Last February my wife and I had the opportunity to make the pilgrimage to Milwaukee. Best known for Harley Davidson and all the beer, and the host of our final destination the Mama Tried motorcycle show! The atmosphere and the bikes at the show were killer. Tattoos getting blasted, beers getting smashed, and amazing two wheeled machines every where you looked. I can't think of a place if rather be or any other place you should be this year when it all happens again!
Go check out the website for details. Hope to see you there!!

Gose. You already said it wrong. Pronounced Go-zuh, this style of beer, originating from German, is a refreshingly tart, wheat beer. Much like your typical berliner weisse except one extra ingredient. Salt water. Weird? Yup. Delicious? Absolutely. The style is old as shit, dating back to before the 1900's, gose's are slowly (but thankfully) coming back as craft brewers look to keep pushing the envelope. Very few American breweries do this style but Anderson Valley said they were going to do it year-round. Then they said they were going to can it. Thus your new favorite summer thirst quencher was born. Lightly acidic, lemony tartness, easy on the wheat malt. This beer is super drinkable. Even at 4.2%abv the flavor has you coming back for more. It's like if Mike's hard lemonade wasn't complete dog shit. This style and beer for me, is as refreshing as it gets. Pair one of these with the other 5 in the sixer you pick up. Sold where finer beers are carried. Seriously, just go buy this beer. Cheers!

Less than a week from today Atlanta based video and documentary film magician Derek Scearce', the man behind Imagery Storm, will be releasing the Long awaited Chariot Documentary. The Documentary follows the dudes around during their final tour about a year ago. And for the time being we are fortunate that this video will be available to just stream on Imageries YouTube channel on sunday November 23rd. So make sure you check it out before some legal company rides in and turns this into a "you have to buy the blu ray or dvd" arrangement. Although im sure we would still buy it anyhow. Here is the teaser trailer "Forget Not"
Long Live.

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!

Vegan Friendly, handmade apparel from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Hellmouths first appeared as the gaping jaws of monsters in Anglo-Saxon Artwork and Mediaeval Theatre.
Most examples before the 12th century were English, and it is speculated that they originate from the Pagan Myth of Fenrir, the Wolf-Monster.

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."
