Popa Chubby
Here's another artist I have recently discovered in my never-ending quest for the hottest of the smokin' blues... Popa Chubby is not the 'average' blues guitarist. I have been listening to a good bit of his stuff in the last few weeks, and there is a real twist to his own style. I recommend listening to some clips from iTunes or amazon.com on some of his various CDs before you buy anything. The only CD I currently have from Popa Chubby is "Booty and the Beast" and I like the entire disc.
LIVE music also creates a different sort of appeal. I have listened to some artists on CD that don't seem so special until I see them live... I love live entertainment :)
Duck-Rabbit Brown Ale
Traditionally, I'm not a huge fan of brown ales, but this one is OK. The Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery's Brown Ale is nice and smooth with a decent hop punch and a smooth malty flavor right behind it.
From the website:
The Duck-Rabbit Brown Ale is an American brown ale brewed with loads of hops from start to finish (it’s hoppy and beautifully bitter). Amarillo hops in the boil provide a spicy citrusy bitterness. Saaz dry hops in the fermentor provide a refined flowery aroma. These hops are supported by a grain bill of seven varieties of malt. Oh yeah!
The 'loads of hops' don't really punch me so hard in this beer, but the hoppy aroma from the dry-hopping is definitely present.
This is my last sampling from an assorted six-pack from the World Market. I'm out of un-tried beers! I'm gonna have to make a run back down there sometime soon or try to find some local sources for singles. My only great local source for singles is rather expensive. I think their singles start at $3.99 each and run up to about $12.00 or so depending on what you get. Most of those singles are 16-24 ounces and there are some really great selections to choose from, but I can't let beer sampling break the bank...
