Bashah – BrewDog/Stone – Scotland/California

Category : Beer Reviews

This beer was actually one of the first I ever purchased when starting to blog about craft brews. Unfortunately, I have a tendency to look at the cover of a book before deciding to read it.  Fortunately, after giving this beer a taste I am OK with that judgment.  By the price tag on this little bottle I knew it wasn’t just your regular ol beer. Reading the label just made me excited about what I was about to try.

I don’t have a lot on this one. If anybody can chip in please do. Here are the specs:

Style: American Strong Ale

Ingredients:

Malts: ??

Hops: ??

Yeast & Water:??

Specs:

  • 8.6% ABV
  • ??º PLATO
  • ?? IBU
  • ?? AA
  • ??º Lovibond

Double Dead Guy Ale – Rogue Brewery – Newport, Oregon

(1)

Category : Beer Reviews

So, we decided to bite the bullet and spend the $12.99 on a 750ml/25.36oz bottle of Rogue’s Double Dead Guy Ale 2009. My first ever beer blog was on Rogues’ Dead Guy so we figured why not go ahead and get the double for the next. We were able to find it at Newport Market on the west side of Bend, Oregon. Didn’t think to get any while we were at the brewery in Newport a few weeks ago which probably would not have been any cheaper.

I decided to experiment with a short video intro. Took about 45 minutes to shoot and edit from my camera which is an Olympus Stylus 850. I bought the camera more for MY snowboarding given it’s indestructible frame. The video is horrible and the sound even worse, but hey it was cheap and quick! Even though it was fun… this definitely will not be a part of all the beer blogs, but every once in a while for sure.

Being that Rogue’s Dead Guy is my all time current favorite it is really irrelevant what the price is right!? I knew I had to at least try this beer. Beer tasting experts would laugh at our hesitance to buy an expensive beer, and after giving this one a try I can now see why!

Last time I started out with the specs of the beer, the history, and then my review followed by links for further reading. This time will be the same, but the reviews by Cali and I will be at the very end instead of before the links.

So here are the details:

Style: American Strong Ale

Ingredients:

Malts: 2-Row, Munich and C15.

Hops: Cascade.

Yeast & Water: Rogue’s Pacman Yeast & Free Range Coastal Water.

  • 60 IBU
  • 78 AA
  • 25º Lovibond
