Chateau Wet Hop at Rogue Brewery, Newport

The Chateau Wet Hop was a very mild wet hop - a new offering from Rogue that went over very well with my folks, but left me craving more. A very delicate beer with extremely well balanced flavors.

I followed with a Double Dead Guy, which was sufficient to pound my tastebuds into submission, and seal my evening at the brewery with a smile. This XS is one of the finer brews that Rogue pours, and I highly recommend it to any hopheads that have the opportunity.

Roasting the Rogue

Rogue ales

Biked to the Rogue ales pub today for a taster tray and a burger. As usual the brews impress, starting with a freebie American Amber. This brew is light and very easy drinking, flavorful but thin enough for summer. I followed with one of my favorites, the ever tasty I2PA which packs a nice wallop. Next on my list today was the YSB, a true local brew if ever there was. Bitter and smooth is an unlikely combination here embodied.

To lighten the potency, I turned to St. Rogue Red and enjoyed this delightful brew as an apéritif for my dessert - Old Crusty, of course!
