YES WE CAN!
   NEWPORT, OR., May 22, 2008 (Rogue Wire Service):  Strap on your snow shoes and keep your eye out this winter for Rogue’s Yellow Snow IPA in a 5 Liter Can.  The can uses a convenient “Pull and Turn” tapping system that makes this the perfect gift to share with friends at the mountain, the lodge, or the local motel.  Yellow Snow is Rogue’s tribute to winter sports everywhere-downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross country, ice hockey, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and even curling.

Yellow Snow IPA is Dedicated to Common Sense.

Yellow Snow will be available November 1 in select mountain communities across the country.  In addition to the 5 Liter Can, Yellow Snow IPA is available in serigraphed 64oz jugs (aka the Rogue boda bag), 22oz bottles, and on draft.

Yellow Snow is made with 8 Ingredients: 2-Row Harrington, Melanoiden, and Carafoam malts, Cascade, Centennial, and Summit hops, Pac Man yeast, and Free Range Coastal water.

Rogue uses no chemicals, additives, or preservatives in any of their products.

Celebrating its second century, Rogue Ales is an Artisan Varietal Brewery founded in Oregon in 1988, as one of America’s first 50 microbreweries.  Rogue has 550+ awards for taste and quality and is distributed nationally and in 10 other countries.

Recieved the following press release from Rogue Wireless : 

Dead Guy

Appearing in Basements & Garages Nationwide!
  

NEWPORT, OR., February 20, 2008 (Rogue Wire Service): Brewcraft USA, a nationwide distributor of brewing equipment and ingredients began distributing a Rogue Dead Guy Ale Homebrew kit on January 23, 2008. The Dead Guy kit is the first beer kit for homebrewers that was cooperatively developed and branded by a U.S. craft brewer. The kit has been test brewed by the Cascade Brewers Society and given the official blessing of Rogue Brewmaster John Maier, a long-time member of the Cascade Brewers Society and Lifetime Member of Southern California’s Maltose Falcons.

John Maier began homebrewing in 1981 and went on to win the American Homebrewers Association Homebrewer of the Year Award in 1988. John started brewing for Rogue in 1989 when the Newport Rogue Brewery began in a rented garage.  John created Dead Guy Ale in the mid-90s and has been Rogue’s brewmaster for 20 years.

Rogue Dead Guy Ale has won 25 awards for quality and excellence, including the 2007 Northwest Brew News Reader’s Choice Awards for Best Bock, and a Gold medal from the World Beer Championships.

Dead Guy Homebrew kits include whole Perle and Czech Saaz Hops, Amber, Munich and Crystal Malts, Candi Sugar and English Pale Ale malt extract. Rogue’s proprietary Pacman yeast (although not part of the homebrew kit) will be available at homebrew shops nationwide. Pacman yeast is part of the Very Special Strain (VSS) program developed by Wyeast Laboratories and was the #1 selling VSS product in 2007.
