Rogue's Dead Guy Ale

[Tripp]

Huzzah for local breweries!

Had quite a few of them last night....not too shabby

This is one of my favorite ales. I made a homebrew clone of this, and it was good. I think it has a distinct flavor, due to the Pacman Yeast that is used. I used White labs English ale yeast and did a side by side comparison, and it was close. The logo glows in the dark too.

Quite tasty, although in fact a Stone Brewing beer:

As to Rouge, I like many of their beers including Dead Guy and the HazelNut Brown Nectar especially, but only on tap. Typically I find their beer to be skunked in the bottle, a result of sitting on liquor store shelve too long, I'm sure.

I bet the guy who talked you into trying it is really pretty awesome

I had one of these the other day and really liked it.

Rogue River Red and Arrogant Bastard Ale are very nice. We always stop by the brewery when in Newport.

Nice shameless plug, Max.

Dead Guy is an okay beer. I certainly wouldn't turn it down but it's not my favorite. My favorite Rogue beers so far are the St. Rogue Red Ale and Santa's Private Reserve. Of course I am a hops junkie

Dead Guy is a good beer that I drink once in a while. If you like that type of beer try Magic Hat # 9 its not as hoppy as most pale ales and has some nice flavors in it. Another good beer to pair is maudite made by unibroue in canada these are exploding with flavors and are high in alcohol content.

Haven't tried the Dead Guy Ale. American Amber Ale, Mom's Hefeweizen, Kell's Irish Lager, St. Rogue Red Ale, Santa's Private Reserve, and Yellow Snow IPA are definitely good.

The St. Rogue Red and Santa's Private Reserve are by far my favorites.

Hops junkies should also check out Victory Brewing's Hops Devil.

Another good one is the Oaked Arrogant Bastard from Stone. Bought my brother a bottle of Double Bastard as a gift (if he don't like, it's mine ). The funniest thing about Arrogant Bastard I'll never forget is being in San Diego, CA and having the bar tender tell me I couldn't get any size larger than 12oz. goblet at a time. Ha.

BTW, anyone west of the Mississippi want to help the needy and send Fat Tire?

I had the chipolte last night, and it was one of the most interesting beers I have ever drank. Spicy!

I have a few of these still in my fridge. Not an everyday beer for me, but definitely a great beer to grab when the mood hits me.
