May Brewery of the Month – Rogue Beer

May Brewery of the Month – Rogue Beer

Shortly after starting in a basement in Ashland, Oregon, the Rogue Brewery and Pub opened in October 1988 with the brewery housed beneath a 60 seat Pub. The first beers brewed were American Amber and Oregon Golden.

Rogue founders believe in the rules of the “Rogue Way” – it requires working with the best, whether it’s hops, malts, yeast, water, or people.

Included in this month’s selections at both our Deland and New Smyrna Beach locations will be:

Rogue’s New Crustacean Barleywineish Imperial IPA Sorta – Not quite a barley wine and not quite a double or imperial IPA. Pairing best with seafood, we recommend our mahi or fried fish sandwiches, mussels in beer, boom-boom shrimp or seared ahi tuna.

Rogue’s Mocha Porter – Ruddy brown in color, a bittersweet balance of malt and hops with a light cream finish. This pairs best with beef or dessert – so we suggest our mushroom burger, roast beef sandwich, Philly cheese steak sandwich, or cheesecake.

Rogue Farms 7 Hop IPA – Brewed with 7 varieties of aroma hops at Rogue Farms in Independence, OR, this bodes best with beef or spicy food – perhaps hot wings, a jalapeno burger, or a buffalo chicken sandwich.
