This weekend I was feeling a bit saucy so I broke down and bought a six-pack of Rogue Dead Guy Ale. Dead Guy is pretty expensive- $11 for a sixer, but it’s very nice on occasion.

I’ll be the first to admit, my favorite thing about this beer is the name and the label on the bottle. For a guy who enjoys the macabre, the beer-drinking skeleton is right up my alley.

The fact that Dead Guy Ale is a full-bodied and delicious and makes my face happy is also good.

This is a pretty strong beer that is very easy to drink. After a bottle or two, you definitely feel it, which almost justifies the price. After a third, the price is no longer a concern and you’re doing just fine.

I think it’s still a little hot to truly enjoy such a thick and dark beer. But I imagine it will be perfect for when I’m sitting around a backyard fire pit in autumn, taking in the scent of wood smoke and burning leaves, maybe enjoying a pipe or a cigar.

Dead Guy is made in Newport, Oregon by Rogue Brewers. They have a nifty website where you can learn more about their beers and even order some cool Dead Guy stuff.

 

One thought on “Rogue Dead Guy Ale”

  1. It’s good stuff and I’ve actually seen it on tap in a few of the bars we play at. Good option over shiner/ziegenbock.
