Even though he refuses to sell his music on iTunes, Kid Rock has found success with the hit single “All Summer Long” and Rock N Roll Jesus, the album that boasts that tune.
Now, however, the rocker has finally decided to go digital. According to RollingStone.com, the Detroit native has struck a deal to stream and hock his entire catalog at Rhapsody and its MP3 store for four months.

Drinks Americas, developer and marketer of premium beverages has announced that they have signed an agreement with "American icon" Kid Rock to develop and market a premium domestic beer.
Drinks and Kid Rock will work together to develop and bring to market a product targeted to beer drinkers who appreciate value with an easy to drink, traditional, good tasting American manufactured beer.
A spokesman for the beverage company said, “Kid Rock is a reflection of great American rock and roll music and the American spirit, and we think we can create a beer in that same image.

There is no question in our mind that people will try a beer that Kid Rock will stand by and when they like it, a great and incredibly valuable trademark will be created with his support... Drinks will come to market rapidly with Kid Rock’s beer. We are in the process of interviewing breweries now and working with Kid Rock to make sure that every aspect of the beer and the marketing support is as exciting as everything else Kid Rock does. We think that by very early spring we will have a compelling product and that consumers will love the look, taste, and branding that Kid Rock creates.”
More details regarding the brand will be released in the coming weeks.
