Another Rogue beer I wish I could afford! John John Ale is Rogue’s Dead Guy Ale that has been aged in Rogue Whiskey Barrels. Sounds like a match made in heaven so I coughed up the $13 for this 22oz almost in hopes that I WOULDN’T like it. The “beer” guy at Whole Foods told us he would be reducing the amount of Rogue products on the shelf because it won’t sell at such high prices. I hope Rogue gets the kick back and decides to lower the prices a tad. I know it takes a lot of time and good ingredients to make these beers, but at $13/22oz I will be orced to find the alternatives.

So here are the details:

As I sit here sipping this very beer pictured watching the Blazers try to stay in the series with the Suns I can’t help but feel joy all over every taste bud of my tongue! Being that this is my first beer blog centered on a single beer I had to go with my all time favorite beer. Dead Guy Ale by Rogue Brewery is nothing short of what truly delicious beer should taste like. Even if the blazers lose at least they will be close to this treat from the heavens.

We took a trip to Newport last week to check out the Oregon coast and also try some different beers at the Rogue Brewery. Although, I tried a few of their other hops I am still drawn to the Dead Guy as my favorite. Also, the label is kind of creepy and perfect for the Grateful Dead Oregon hippy in me!

So each time I review a beer I will try to list some details including the style, Ingredients,specs, and the history of the beer. Also if available I will try to provide some links to further reading. Next, I will give my review of the beer and briefly wrap it up with a drinkability comment I will call “Last Sip”!

So here’s the scoop:
