I’e been drinking Rogue ales for 20+ years so I just thought I’d add a few thoughts for the holiday season. Merry Christmas everyone
1) Their SF pub is an “afterthought”. Their bartenders are an absolute joke unless you love crybabies
2) Their sales team in Oregon doesn’t have a clue about what to do with their fine beer. Are they drinking or smoking hops?
3) They didn’t bother to provide their SF pub with their Wet Hop ale in 2010. Not a drop of it! Thanks a lot – it must have been great stuff.
For those who love their bottled beer version – CHEERS!
3) John Maier is one of the best damn brewers on the planet earth.
Beer does not have a great shelf life – at least 95% anyway. Why be concerned about shipping Dead Guy Ale to the East Coast when its arrives lifeless on their shores? Think about it
