Beer Review: Out of Order: RAWRGWAWGGR (RAR Brewing) https://thebeerthrillers.com/2022/01/19/beer-review-out-of-order-rawrgwawggr-rar-brewing/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=beer-review-out-of-order-rawrgwawggr-rar-brewing Wed, 19 Jan 2022 13:08:28 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=8578
Out of Order – RAWRGWAWGGR by RAR Brewing

Feeling a lot like Hoth lately

If you are in the Central PA, its been feeling a lot like Hoth lately. We’ve had two recent snow / mix storms and just really cold temperatures in general. The picture above was taken from the first snowstorm a bit ago, and you most likely saw the pictures on our Instagram (The Beer Thrillers on Instragram) if you are a follower. And if your not…. why not? Check us out!

It was a perfect day for snow shoveling and using the newly acquired Hoth Lego sets to build up a little scene. Did some shoveling, drank a great beer, and played with Legos taking some fun nerdy Lego pics… like I was a six year old all over again.

And speaking of Star Wars and Legos, be sure to check out my buddy’s YouTube page – and Facebook page (which he just started up). He does Lego builds (primarily Star Wars) as well as all kinds of other videos. Give Josh a subscribe and check him out. MasterMind X Studios.

The Book of Boba Fett

Switching gears now, going from the snow covered planet of Hoth to the desert planet of Tatooine, lets go back to The Book of Boba Fett. As per usual on Wednesdays now, we’ve been doing a weekly Star Wars themed beer review. Some past ones have been:

This is the fourth episode (S1: E4 – “The Gathering Storm”) and thus will be the fourth of this series. But don’t worry, its far from the only Star Wars beers we’ve reviewed on here. You’ll be able to check out all of the others at the end of this article.

As per usual, I’ll also link up to some of the various Book of Boba Fett discussion pages that I follow along with:

And now, just for some interesting background information about Tatooine, a YouTube video by Star Wars Explained:

The Oceans of Tatooine by Star Wars Explained

Just some nerd insight into Tatooine and Star Wars for everyone before we move on to the beer review itself. So how about we get right down to it and actually do that beer review that I say I’m gonna do right?

Beer Review

Beer: Out of Order: RAWRGWAWGGR
Brewery: RAR Brewing
Style: Sour – Fruited
ABV: 6%
IBU: None
Untappd Description: Our lactose sour base conditioned on Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Black Currants, Vanilla Cake, and Cream Cheese Icing.

First, quick discussion on RAR Brewing. They are a micro brewery (according to Untappd) from Cambridge, MD. They have 634 unique beers and a total of 404, 881 ratings (as of 1.19.22). They have a global average rating of exactly 4. Their Untappd Description reads: Based in Cambridge, MD on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay. Their link on Untappd is – RealerRevivalBrewing (just as an FYI).

Now let’s break down the beer.

Appearance is a juicy colored fruit drink. Looks like it could be a light cranberry juice or something similar. It looks sweet, looks tart, looks like juice you could pour straight from a carton out of the fridge. Its a slightly reddish hue, transparent mostly, with the thinnest carbonation based head.

Aroma smells like juicy, tart, and definitely a fruited sour. You get the notes of the blueberries, the strawberries, the raspberries, the blackberries, and the black currants all kind of swirling together into one big fruity berry mixture. No real notes (as far as aroma goes) of vanilla, cake, or cream cheese icing.

This is a juicy juicy juicy boi right here. Chewbeccca definitely knows how to get down with the berries. Be it on Hoth, Tatooine, or Endor, and no matter what berries or where they come from; Chewbacca … gets… down. This is a fruity punch of a beer right here. There is some definite tartness to it, there is a lot going on with the flavor profile too. You get everything the Untappd description lists. You get ‘all the berries’. The Blueberries. The strawberries. The raspberries. The blackberries. The black currants. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. Five berries. Five checks. Done and done. There is a hint of vanilla cake and cream cheese icing I suppose, in the lactose thats added to the beer. I don’t think its more than just the lactose giving it some kind of creamy feel and taste; than it is exactly vanilla or cream cheese icing per say. But you get this creamy hint to it all. Its still got the tartness and the juiceness, so its not like that lactose takes away from that. The mouth feel could maybe be a bit heavier, but I think its still right on with the beer, and there’s nothing cloying or any real bad aftertaste. It pairs well with shoveling and cold Pizza Boy pizza, as well as reading books and playing with Legos on a day off (natural day off; not a day off due to snow). All in all its another impressive outing from RAR Brewing and the Out of Order series, and in particular the Star Wars Out of Order series.

My Untappd Rating: ****.25
Global Average Untappd Rating: 4.31 (as of 1.19.22)

The Book of Boba Fett – Episode 4 Thoughts

So, just finished Episode 4 thoughts, and will give you some quick spoiler free thoughts on it. I enjoyed it, and thought it was one of the better episodes of the season. Light years better than the horrific episode last week, which I honestly thought was out and out drek. Some cool scenes in this episode, but nothing crazy, and definitely a ‘building’ episode, a “calm before the storm’ episode.

Here’s another YouTube video for any interested:
