Eew? Marketing or taste sensation? You be the judge?

Two words: nas. ty.

[kanddr]

Reminds me of something I'd read on April 1st.

 

[othellomcbane]

Wait...

I didn't realize you could get brewing yeast from somewhere other than your beard...?

 

[Monkfish]

I appreciate the attempt at innovation/marketing, but I'm done with spending my $$$ on well marketed yet dissapointing Rogue offerings.

 

[HopJuicer]

Could have been worse. They could have come out with a nut hair brown ale

 

[edecambra]

I may be a dirty hippy but this is truly amazing. If in fact anything close to drinkable comes from this it would just further show that beer is devine. Like true lambics, there is some magic in this world. Growing my beard, starting now!

 

[ktblunden]

No thanks. I'm all for innovation, but I don't need to (knowingly) drink the brewer's face.

 

[Darwin18]

That's just disgusting....of course people will buy it though.

I've found most of their offerings highly decent, and Dead Guy is fantastic. Unless you've only been drinking their Voodoo abomination I'm curious how you quantify this statement.

 

[Mishraile]

Love Dead Guys, Love Double Dead Guys even more. Not sure if I will try this.

Rogue is one of the "big" guys. Its not cool to like their beers anymore. Go ahead and cross off Sierra Nevada and DFH from your list of acceptable breweries for those of us who "love beer".

You're not a real beer fan if you drink anything but the little guys. As soon as they start getting popular though, their beer gets worse, so you need to abandon them

I will be trying it as long as they don't add pacman yeast.
