While checking thefullpint.com’s MySpace page one day, I bumped into Legend Brewery, who also has a MySpace page. After having a nice chat, Legend decided to send me a few of their flagship beers for review. What a great world I live in. And for all the MySpace haters out there, see, it isn’t all bad.

The Perfect Summer Thirst Quencher

(Bend, OR) June’s impending arrival signals the return of Deschutes Brewery’s summer seasonal, Twilight Ale. Employing four different hop varieties, the hints of citrus in this lively, crisp ale guarantee an easy-drinking beer that quenches the thirst of summer like no other. Dry-hopping with bold Amarillos provides the perfect finishing touch.

Twilight Ale is a refreshing choice whether consumed at the trailhead, in your backyard, or wherever your summer adventure finds you. Our brewers and chefs agree Twilight Ale pairs well with anything you can pack into a picnic basket, especially foods like bratwurst and potato salad, sharp cheddar cheeses, and BBQ chicken. Savor a chilled Twilight Ale as you squeeze the most out of the “never long enough summer.”

Friday night, I opted out of going to the super snooty Father’s Office in favor of The Other Room, in Venice, CA. To me, intersecting craft beer and high society folks is a real deterrant. I was pleasantly surprised with my finding in The Other Room. It was a almost pitch black bar, with super high ceilings. A few candles lit helped me find my way from my seat to the bar, and helped me read some of the chalk written menu.

While I couldn’t read all of the menu due to the lighting, I found Racer 5, and after that, OAKED Arrogant Bastard. The bar tenders were nice as can be, the servers were nice, and the crowd was not what I expected at all. Everyone was polite, and didn’t act like they were any better than anyone else. It wasn’t the kind of bar to pick up a date, just some chill people who enjoyed good beer or good wine.
