#beersaturday? Don't mind if I do!
My beer if choice this weekend - "Raining Blood" by Hand Brewed Beer, local brewery out here in Chatsworth, CA.

This was a gift from a friend (she knows me too well), and I decided to crack it open today.
First impression - awesome bottle, awesome name! Although it's such an awesome bottle, I honestly had trouble opening it... The wax around the cap presented a bit of an issue. I soon resorted to stabbing away at the wax with a knife 馃敧. Perhaps that's how it gets it name?
I decided to be fancy and poor it in a beer glass 馃. Right away, I love the color of this beer. So far, so good... Then I give it a whiff... It honestly smelled like straight liquor... But not a familiar liquor... Something strange... And gross 馃あ. I suppose it's because it's over 12 percent ABV. But hey, I'm not gonna waste beer! So I take a sip.
Immediately, I am grossed out. But I'm a champ, and I stick with it (cause, ya know, beer). It started to get a bit easier as I continued to drink it. But, as i spaced out my sips, I had to begin the process all over again.
Overall, it was an unpleasant experience, but still not a total loss... I got a pretty decent buzz going 馃樀.
