Rogue Blurs Two Beer Styles (Sorta)
Finally, a beer that doesn’t try to be one thing AND another at the same time. This new label from Rogue Ales (Newport, OR) basically tells you how it is. The brewery has produced a barleywine (Old Crustacean) in the past, just as it has made IPAs. So what do you do when you have a beer that seems to be both? You call it how it is – New Crustacean Barleywineish Imperial India Pale Ale Sorta.
On board yet? A beer that defies all traditonal definitions doesn’t need a name that does so right? Just like in nature, this beer is a cross between an imperial IPA and a barleywine, while not really being either. It’s like the platypus off beer. Called a “cult favorite” in the brewpub, Rogue is looking to bottle this and let you sort it out for yourself. Sorta.
Style: A little bit of Barleywine, a little bit of IPA
Availability: Draft (Current), 750ml bottles (Soon)
Arrival: TBA
9.6% ABV
Beard Beer is Coming [VIDEO]
Just in case you forgot about Beard Beer, there is more coming soon. Rogue’s experiment in taking yeast from head brewer John Maier’s beard was a success with said yeast strain becoming the official microbe of Oregon. The question is, will you drink a beer made with yeast taken from a man’s beard?
Rogue Farms to Release Honey Kolsch
Get ready for a new home-grown brew from Rogue Ales. Rogue Farms Honey Kolsch will launch this summer nationwide. This brew was made with honey grown and harvested at the Rogue Farms Hopyard. Earlier this year they grew their Apiary (bee farm) to over 100 colonies so that the little guys can buzz around the farm sampling everything from blackberries, raspberries, and cherries to woodruff, lavendar, pumpkins, rye, and corn. The new population will produce the nearly 5,000 pounds of honey used in each batch of the new Honey Kolsch.
Style: Kolsch (with honey)
Availability: 750 mL bottles
Arrival: July 2013
