I just wanna be the best.

RaR Brewing has been "proudly brewing since the summer of 2013 with no intentions of slowing down."
"I just wanna be the best."
Maryland has become a competitive market for craft beer but that has not stopped RaR from getting their name known by great strides with some new creative beers and fun marketing ideas.
"Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller. Me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger. Me, I wanna think a little bit smarter. Said I just wanna be the best."
Firstly, they started out with just some solid beers. They were not crazy but they were so great and smooth that they have become go-to beers for Maryland locals. Those are their Nanticoke Nectar IPA, Country Ride Pale Ale, and Groove City Hefeweizen.

These early beers set the foundation of the brewery's sights. They knew they could become something bigger just like AWOLNATION. Their new single, "The Best" is simply just about that…becoming the best. AWOLNATION is not a normal band and that's what makes them wonderful to listen to.

RaR is also no normal brewery. They found what's popular and are even responsible for some of the popularity of sours and fruity beers around the area. Fans now wait in extremely long lines for can releases in and around the state of Maryland for obscure beers that are full of flavor.

RaR has become known nationally and even internationally with some fun marketing partnerships. They partnered with Bethesda Softworks, a Maryland video game developer, to help promote a new game, Fallout 76. They didn't come out with just one but three beers.
"I just wanna be the best."
It only makes sense to listen to "The Best" with one of the beers that started RaR's vision from the beginning. You can definitely choose the Nanticoke Nectar or Country Ride but this blog has more IPAs than anything else so for this post, we'll list the stats behind Groove City.

RAR is available in Maryland and it's surrounding states.

There's a picture on the wall of Kanye West.

"Freaking Out," the psychedelic pop-rock song by The Wrecks, gets pretty weird… "In the bathroom, on my back, there's a picture on the wall of Kanye West. He's staring at me; he's staring at me. I'm freaking out; I'm freaking out." …as weird as an IPA labeled with a tiger shooting rainbow-lasers out of his eyes. Elysian's Dayglow IPA pairs perfectly with the odd sounds The Wrecks bring us in this new single. "I'm on the lawn. It's almost 3:00. I look around; I look at her; she looks at me. She's suspicious; she's suspicious. I'm freaking out; I'm freaking out." The lyrics and the sounds of the keyboard will automatically have you thinking, "this is weird." And even more so if you listen to the guitar rift in the first second as you stare at your newly found Dayglow bottle. But then you take a sip. It's crisp, a little juicy, and oh my—is that pineapple? Yes, it is! Now your on to the cho...

Sometimes the only way out is as a carcass.

You're in the Mafia and you made a deal with the devil. You promised to follow through but you got caught. Now you're going to court and you can't bring up who you're working with. If you do, it's the end of you. "I bet my billionth bottom dollar on a hopeless case and now the devil on my shoulder has a knife to my face." Maybe it's time to talk to daddy. After all, he has connections. He can get you out of anything. But then again, if he helps you, you will pay. No, not with money; you're broke after paying your lawyer. You'll pay with something much more severe, most likely your life. "Sometimes the short end of the stick is the sharpest. Sometimes the only road to take is the darkest. Sometimes all you gotta say is 'Daddy, make it go away.' Sometimes the only way out is as a carcass." After talking to daddy, you find it's in your best interest to stay away from him and his workers. You go back to court and the police as...

I danced with the devil and I've got to say he's not so tough.

This blog focuses mostly on new songs less than a year old but an exception is being made for "Live from Hell" by Glowbug on the album Fantasma Del Tropico. It's an obscure alt-rock song with sounds of steel drums giving it that Caribbean island vibe. But that's not it. This song features Eddie Hermida, the screamo vocalist of the deathcore metal band, Suicide Silence. This is the first screamo song to be listed on this blog. "To all the heathens, demons...I have got a feeling we'd get along, so shout GIVE ME YOUR WORST...LOVE 'TIL IT HURTS!" This could very well be one of the softest screamo songs you've heard but it just works; it's catchy. The lyrics are pretty dark considering the island-enthused sounds too. "I DANCED WITH THE DEVIL AND I'VE GOT TO SAY he's not so tough." Of course a Caribbean-inspired song needs to be paired with a Caribbean-inspired beer. There may not be any year-round nationally-available beers to co...
