Who, Us? I saw you, Metro, condoning the use of cell phones to take pictures in restaurants (Cover, Oct. 15). It was your cover story that encourages the narcissistic masses that it’s OK to disrupt the peaceful dining experience of the other patrons. I don’t give a shit what anyone had for dinner last night. I do give a shit when I have to tolerate a-holes oblivious to other people’s right to a meal free of phone calls and Facebook bullshit. Metro ... tech is cool … being a dick in a restaurant is not cool.

SHORT ON STOUT The current passion for all things hoppy has meant a slight downturn in darker, maltier brews.
Dark Forces
W
hen evenings dim and the weather takes an autumnal turn, thoughts turn to darker, heartier beers.
But a recent shopping trip for Bay Area stouts turned into a bit of a treasure hunt. Stout's suffering, I'm told, because beer drinkers just want "hops, hops, hops." Fortunately, the four stout ales I did find exemplify the variety and quality of this plucky category. Dempsey's Ugly Dog Stout This should appeal to fans of Guinness, the stout recognized around the world. Dempsey's calls it a "foreign style" stout—but we know what they mean, even if it doesn't sport quite the same compact, creamy head. It's medium-bodied, with aromas of dark, roasted grain, a creamy, substantial mouthfeel and a firm, appropriately bitter finish tinged with iron. A solid, pub session stout with a moderate 6.7 percent alcohol by volume. Bear Republic Big Bear Black Stout An American-style stout, this is hoppier and maltier, with big, beer milkshake flavors of bitter chocolate and sweet malt. Robust and packed with flavor. You may want this with a coffee crusted flank steak. 8.1 percent abv. Lagunitas Imperial Stout Potent imperial stout, inspired by 18th-century English exports to Russia, is one style that seems to be on the rise nationwide. This, the brewery's only stout, besides the almost equally strong, winter-release Cappuccino Stout, reminds me a little of roasted twig tea and has burnt grain and barley wine highlights. With flavors of espresso, soy sauce, dark malt syrup and barley wine, this calls for some strong cheese, like aged gouda, to snack on. 9.9 percent abv. Anderson Valley Bourbon Barrel Stout Good thing the brewery has an exclusive arrangement with the makers of Wild Turkey for a ready supply of quality barrels, because competition is tight; bourbon makers can only use the barrels once, after which they are often sold for reuse in the red-hot Scotch whisky market. This may sound like a bruiser, but it's just Anderson Valley's old standby, Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout, with the booze barrel aging imparting a perfume of maple syrup aromatics. Like the Ugly Dog, it's medium-bodied and smooth on the palate, with a modicum of roasted grain, bittering hop character and fruity and nutty highlights. The bourbon flavor is just a warm, sweet crest topping a wave of mellow stout to the finish. 6.9 percent abv. —James Knight

ehind-the-scenes knowledge can ruin the magic sometimes. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reason â&#x20AC;&#x153;watching how the sausage gets made,â&#x20AC;? especially taken literally, could ruin your day. But that seems unlikely to happen with something as beloved as beer. After all, learning how grains become liquid sunshine has turned more than one beer fan into a brewer. With â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bio+Beer,â&#x20AC;? an upcoming event at the Tech Museum of Innovation, BioCurious isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily trying to convert a whole new crew of new brewmasters, but seeks to highlight the science behind beer. BioCurious is a nonproďŹ t community lab, or as it calls itself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a hackerspace for biology.â&#x20AC;? Beer+Bio is a 21+ event, which takes place Nov. 21, and includes demonstrations on brewing beer, as well as cultivating kombuchaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;another fermented beverageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and talks from experts on the science of brewing. All that thinking is thirsty work, so concurrent with the demos and talks, Bio+Beer also features tastings from local and regional craft breweries. Visitors can also put all that learning to the test with a tasting contest comparing home brews to craft brews.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Heather Zimmerman BIO+BEER takes place Nov 21, 7-10pm at the Tech Museum of Innovation, 201 S. Market St, San Jose. Tickets are $25 before Nov 7/$30 after Nov 7. Tickets available at eventbrite.com.

CONCERT
Like A Rockstar WALKING INTO ROCKBAR THEATER you get the sense that you are being taken back to a simpler time—when larger-than-life rock stars roamed the earth, jumping from stadium to stadium, slaying entire stadiums full of screaming fans with epic guitar solos and thrashing hotel rooms. That feeling, according to Susan Cramer and Robert Farrell, is no accident. The pair have been working tirelessly for months to ensure that everyone who walks into their new live venue—which doubles as a theater, restaurant and bar— feels like they’ve just stepped off their very own tour bus or private jet. The venue’s credo, “Livin’ Like a Rock Star” can be felt from the moment you enter the behemoth structure, located at the intersection of Saratoga Avenue and Stevens Creek Boulevard in what used to be the Garden City Casino. It boasts multiple bars—one of which, the Vodka Bar, will feature more than 100 types of vodka and what Cramer calls a “fairy tale book” of more than 1,600 cocktails.
Rockbar Theater 360 Saratoga Ave, San Jose rockbartheater.com
Flat screen TVs are hung at nearly every turn—each of them capable of screening separate streams. The main stage’s only nearby rival in terms of size is Shoreline Amphitheatre’s, according to Farrell. And then there are the special effects. “If we had to we could make it snow in here, or I could make it rain blood, depending on who is playing.” Cramer chimes in, noting that the venue will play host to many events, including corporate parties, fashion shows, dinner theater and charity events— “from the symphony to Slayer.” When it comes to hiring, Cramer and Farrell stuck to their venue’s motto, bringing in renowned Australian guitarist Kris Petersen to run sound, and hand picking their bar staff—choosing bar keeps with skills in both mixology and in bar tricks, such as bottle flipping and fire-spitting. And when it came to the kitchen staff, Farrell says it only made sense to put out a call to chefs who have lived the rock & roll lifestyle. They ended up hiring the former touring chef for Linkin Park. “We’re gonna find the best in what they do and bring them here,” Farrell explains. The venue holds its soft opening this Friday, Halloween, with—what else?—a guitar competition. The Demon Rock Off will feature three guest judges— Craig Goldy (Dio), Craig Locicero (SpiralArms), George Lynch (Dokken)—and a costume contest, with a grand prize of two VIP tickets to the venue’s New Year’s Eve show with Y&T and a $100 gift certificate to the Vodka Bar.— Nick Veronin
