Rhizing Bines

Dogfish Head is one of the best breweries on the East Coast. Sierra Nevada is one of the best breweries on the West Coast. Somehow the two breweries got together and gave birth to Rhizing Bines, a delicious and smooth IPA. It pours a golden copper with a nice foamy head. It has a great aroma. I smell citrus hops, caramel, florals, and sweetness. It tastes hoppy at first but quickly becomes smooth, creamy, and malty. It’s very well balanced. It’s hoppy and malty, it’s sweet and bitter. It’s a complex beer, but it passes the test. It has an 8% ABV and the alcohol will creep up on you. It’s not the best beer I’ve had, but it’s probably in my top twenty-five.

The West Coast Sign

I live in San Francisco and so I see a lot of friends posing in pictures flashing the West Coast Sign on Facebook. You know, that hand sign that Tupac was always throwing up back in the day. It’s a sign of pride, a symbol that you’re proud to be from the west coast. It’s a simple gesture, but an alarming number of people don’t know how to do it correctly. If you’re looking at the back of the hand, the ring finger should be over the middle finger. That’s how Tupac did it and that’s how it’s supposed to be. Most of the posers that you see on Facebook have the middle finger over the ring finger. That means “Wannabe” not “West Coast.” It almost looks the same, but it’s wrong. And you don’t look cool if you’re wrong, you look like a fucking tool.
