Ah, Beer Revolution. Your outdoor tables, your friendly service, your cheap beer prices..everything a beer bar/store should be, but the only one in the SF Bay Area that does it right. If only you weren’t in Oakland then I would visit more often…

Dave and I went to Jason’s & Chris’ beer blending event in which all tips went as a donation to the local SPCA. We had heard that the last beer blending event they did was fantastic so we didn’t want to miss out on this one.

Sour Patch IPA- blend of the Jacobson’s Rouge and 90 Minute IPA. This pours a red clear mahogony. It smells like delicious sourness, slight cherry, pine and citrus. It tastes like slightly sweet tart cherries, slight oak, sour funk and then slightly bitter and piney. Absolutely delicious!

Hop on Grandad- blend if Old Stock , 90 minute IPA and a splash of Jacobson’s Rouge. It pours a cloudy, slightly darker red sienna. It smells like Old Stock- bourbon, vanilla and a touch of citrus. It tastes like pine, then sweet vanilla, then slight bourbon and then a citrus ending. Very interesting. Kudos.

Forbidden Fruit-this pours a pitch black. It smells light; with  touches of malt, hops, toffee and slight cherry sour funk. It tastes like tart roasted malt, a touch of coffee, citrus,sour tartness and a touch of pine sour ending. My least favorite but it is still  interesting and good.

Victory is (s)ours- serpent stout, old stock and jacobsons rouge. This pours a rich black. It smells like malt, caramel, vanilla and slight sour. It tastes like sweet vanilla, malt, slight pine, citrus and a large cherry funk ending.Really good too.

This wasn’t a beer event to miss.
