MARK MULLIGAN - THE THINGS I LOVE  I met this guy roughly 12 or so years ago at a bar in Puerto Penasco, Mexico. I had seen him perform the night before and he was just sitting at the bar having a few drinks before his set that night. We talked and had a few shots and i have been a fan and following him since. Kind of a Jimmy Buffett tropical themed style music. Lots of songs about drinking, the islands, and having fun, just up my alley. He has about a dozen CDs out and i enjoy all of them. He mostly performs in the Arizona and Mexico area, but has been trekking out farther every year. Interesting in that his mom runs his web store, each time i order something, i get a little thank you note from his mom!  I encourage you to check him out.

NEW BELGIUM BREWING - HOP KITCHEN HOPPY BOCK LAGER  This is a limited one time release that comes in a 22 oz. bottle. All i really get out of the smell is some lemon citrus hops. The taste is more complex. A little caramel up front followed by the citrus with a nice sweetness to the finish. This is a nice twist on the style, not particularly exciting, but is pleasing to drink. I was expecting a bigger hop prescence based on the name, but it was still a decent lager i would have again.
