Rogue Brewing is celebrating dads and Father’s Day Black IPA style this year. Don’t get dad another boring tie, get him a beer.
Inspiration for the beer & Father’s Day:
After the death of his wife, Henry Jackson Smart was left to raise his 6 young children alone. His courage, love, selflessness and dedication inspired his daughter, Sonora Smart Dodd, to organize the first Father’s Day on June 19th, 1910. In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. President Nixon, in 1972, established it as a permanent day of national observance.
