Before-After Triple Bock

Before-After Triple Bock is an impressive bock from Rinkuškiai Aluas Darykla in Lithuania. Don’t ask me what that means or how to pronounce it, but I’m pretty sure that it’s a brewery and Rinkuškiai is the name of the brand. It has a rich, sweet malt aroma with hints of floral, cinnamon, and ginger. It tastes even sweeter than I was expecting. I get brown sugar, ginger, orange peel, spice, caramel, and a little oak. The sweet flavor masks the high 12% ABV. This beer is practically a wine. It also has a really cool label with an optical illusion. There’s a picture of a pretty girl’s face, and she turns into an old lady when you turn it upside down. It’s fitting because this triple bock will definitely give you beer goggles if you have more than one. Hopefully you’re not drinking it at your family reunion.

Gravity Hill

A gravity hill is a place where physics gives up and lets the ghosts fuck shit up. A car will in neutral will roll uphill, defying gravity and the basic laws of nature. Some people will tell you that it’s merely an optical illusion and that you’re on a slight downward slope even though it looks like you’re going uphill. Those people don’t know how to have fun. It’s more interesting to pretend like there is some supernatural or paranormal phenomenon at work. Even if you know that it’s just science, it’s still fun when common sense lies to you and things aren’t what they seem. Every town has a haunted house, but only a few places are lucky enough to have a gravity hill. Use the Google to search for ones in your area and check it out with a few friends (works best while stoned). Approach it with an open mind and have fun.
