THIRSTY? – Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout

 

Drink this 9% goodness with some good weed!

 

Product: Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout

Brewery: North Coast Brewery – Fort Bragg, CA

ABV: 9%

Available at: Cost Plus World Market, BevMo

Cost: $6.99 – $8.99 for a 4 pack of bottles

Naming a beer after the great Russian mystic was ballsy, but Old Rasputin lives up to the name. The beer starts with a sweet, bitter taste, then begins to settle as the sips pile up. The finish is almost coffee-like, and the alcohol is heavy throughout.

Old Rasputin is a pot smokers’ beer. While so many of our brethren rely on kidney-killing cases of PBR to get sauced, two to three Rasputin’s typically do the trick. Finishing a four pack through the course of the night will leave you with a nice active drunk (as opposed to a heavy, pukey one).

We paired Old Rasputin with White Rhino at a party, and the results were outstanding. The high and drunk feelings didn’t compete and there were no spins. Functionality was at full strength (albeit with significantly impaired judgement) and we raged into the wee hours.

Smoke Spot #1 – Pan Pacific Park

 

Lighting up in Pan Pacific

 

PAN PACIFIC PARK

Location: 7600 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036

Pan Pacific Park serves the Hancock Park, West Hollywood and Melrose districts of Los Angeles, making it one of the weed-friendliest public parks around (the Hasidic Jewish, gay and young adult communities are full of patients and recreational smokers alike). While there are families with children, finding a secluded smoking spot is typically no problem, and anyone catching a glimpse of your indulgence is more likely to look the other way and laugh than inform an authority.

Police make occasional rounds, but the park is mostly cop-free (the police do one final sweep around 11 PM). The neighborhood is very safe by Los Angeles standards, so don’t be afraid to take a night stroll and light up, and bask in the distinctive glow provided by the Grove next door.

Munchies – Dino’s Chicken and Burgers

Dino's sign deceives customers, suggests burgers are the specialty item

 

MUNCHIE REVIEW – Dino’s Chicken and Burgers

Location: 2575 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90006 (just east of Pico and Normandie).

Styles: American, Greek, Mexican

Bring about: $6

 

Dino’s presents the common stoner with one great challenge: ignore their menu full of delicious burgers, pastrami and sides. No matter what the menu says, Dino’s serves one item – the half chicken plate.

You can order it 100 ways – “half chicken,” “the plate,” “the one with the sauce” – the kitchen pretty much makes them non-stop. Dino’s employees haul armloads of styrofoam platters to the pickup window and move them off the line like school box lunches. At $5.50 a pop, they might as well be.

The plate consists of the following – one half chicken, one large serving of fries and two corn tortillas (which end up as one giant corn tortilla, combining in the heat of the box). The chicken and fries are smothered in Dino’s patented sauce, a thin, tangy marinade loaded with herbs and spices. The initial tang outburst makes your taste buds contract, then the spicy kick that follows expands them again. It’s a party for anyone with cottonmouth.

An ocean of chicken, potato, tang and spice awaits!

 

We don’t recommend smoking during a Dino’s grub session. If you have the urge, use a relatively flavorless bud like Super Gu so the combining tastes of pot and sauce don’t ruin your meal. We do recommend smoking before and after eating, but you might want to rinse your mouth.

Throw some chicken and fries into one of Dino's tortillas for a makeshift taco delight.
