At a time like this, I find myself asking WWDD — “What would Dio do?” Would he stand up and shout, or be the last in line? After all, the world is full of kings and queens, who blind your eyes and steal your dreams… It’s Heaven and Hell!

But with everyone left on their own like a rainbow in the dark, I think this is the beer he probably would drink.

6. Rainbow in the Dark

This winter rye IPA from Barrie’s Redline Brewhouse (best known for its Clutch APA) has an evil 6.66% ABV, but still packs enough hops for a nice, fruity finish. It may not be in season, but if you’re in the area, you can still grab cans to go and even order food from their takeout menu.

Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to go back to Beerocracy, the funky craft beer bar where me ‘n the Triple B Krew drank all their Rainbows, until this shutdown comes to an end — and there’s no sign of that morning coming. 😦 😦 😦
