ROGUE ALES - HAZELNUT BROWN NECTAR For me, the Rogue line up has been really hit or miss, this one is a hit.They really like to experiment and have some real interesting offerings so i guess its no surprise a few are not going to be up my alley. Very inviting aroma. Hints of sweet malt, a bit of coffee and definately some nuts in the smell. The hazelnut really hits you on the first sip and is fairly sweet. As it progresses you pick up the malt flavor. Great tasting beer, full flavored and very well balanced. One to keep in the rotation if you can.
ROGER CLYNE & THE PEACEMAKERS - UNIDA CANTINA OK, if you know me at all, you know these guys are my favorite band. Based out of Arizona, they formed after the break up of The Refreshments in the late 90s and this is their 8th album and most recent. Just great straight up independent American rock and roll.Roger is one of the best front men i have ever seen perform. I see these guys live multiple times every year, and every show is great whether there are 50 people in the crowd or 3000. I have seen them 8 times this year already and will add numbers 9 and 10 over Labor Day weekend. They will be playing their debut album in entirety next Saturday and i will count their catalog down until that day.They might not have the biggest following out there, but the fan base is extremely loyal. I have got to know the boys pretty well over the years and there is not a nicer group of guys around. For the last few years after the 4th of July they do their Backyard BBQ Tour. They actually perform at the homes of some of their lucky fans. How many bands you know that have done that? Not the most famous, but check them out, i guarantee you will like them. Favorites: All Over The Radio, Dinero, Love Is The Road, Marie, and Just Got High.
Also, i wull throw out a plug for Rogers tequila, Mexican Moonshine. Pick some up if you are a tequila fan, you wont be dissapointed. Or stop over and give it a try some day.
