SIERRA NEVADA BREWING CO. - SIERRA NEVADA SOUTHERN HEMISPHETE HARVEST FRESH HOP ALE 2013  Nice light piney hop smell with hints of citrus.  It has a great aroma that you notice across the room. In the initial taste, the pine dominates but gives way to the cirrus (mostly grapefruit) with a little bitterness at the end. This is a nice IPA and a very drinkable beer. The hops are blended nicely with the sweet malt. I really enjoyed this one, this and the Northern Hemisphere are a couple of my favorite Sierra Nevada beers. Planning to pick up some more of these while they still can be found.

KID ROCK - GRITS SANDWICHES FOR BREAKFAST  This is an 1990 release from Kid Rock before he really blew up that is kind of hard to find. Straight up old achool rap on this one. I remember buying it because a couple of my favorite rappers back then were really pushing it. If you got to know Kid Rock from his breakthrough album Devil Without A Pause, you might be a little surprised by this one. If you like his current stuff you might not like this one though, but if you dig old school rap its pretty good. Favorites:  Yo-Da-Lin In The Valley, Genuine Article, Wax The Booty, Pimp Of The Nation and Abdul Jabar Cut. He's actually got a few other early rap albums i would like to find some day.
