The first thing beer tasters are likely to discover is that a favorite beer can taste bland if preceded by a similar but sweeter, more bitter, more roasty, more yeast-flavored or higher alcohol beer. That’s easy to notice when the flavor of the known beer is strongly committed to memory, and the contents of your glass are no secret. It’s harder in a blind tasting situation, or where the known beer is not a recent favorite. When you get to a second beer in a tasting flight that’s one you have never had before, there is no way to know exactly how the prior beer is changing your perception of the current one.

The usual suggestions for coping with this are:

1. Milder, lighter (in flavor but not always in color) beers should be tasted first.

I was there and saw the whole situation go down! The muni ticket agent was being attacked by the two fair riders and was trying to call the police to end the situation. The attackers (fair riders) were opening the door to his enclosed ticketing area, physically punching him and throwing soda cans at him. He was out numbered and overwhelmed by the attack. He was trying to get away from them and they kept attacking him. They are at fault, not him! This is a sad case of the state of our youth... he was the victim here! Arrest the two girls not him!

The former Kink.com porn studio and planned 15-story three-star hotel at 942 Mission is planning on moving ahead "at a rapid pace," but so far it's had its day at the Planning Commission pushed back a couple times in a row now. The Mint Developers project has already grabbed a go-ahead from the Planning Department, which declared it "could not have a significant effect on the environment," but it seems certain parties are seeking a rollback of that decision. What's the beef? Perhaps a super secret spy cam will tell us!

In the below video, left on Curbed SF's front porch this morning, petitioners go door to door in what looks like an SRO, warning about an "expensive high-rise hotel" that will "displace people like you and I."

wait, those aren’t actually homeless pets, they are actually OTHER PEOPLE’S DOGS. One of the guys in shirts told us they were just borrowing the dogs for the demo and that they’d have “real” adoptable dogs at some other undisclosed time and location. Weirdly but I guess unsurprisingly, Petco isn’t authy enough to invite real rescue groups with ACTUAL homeless dogs to help shill their crappy wares.
