Rogue Dead Guy is a staple of the Northwest beers, and in my opinion, the quintessential amber ale. The Rogue company has been able to expand their line of products because of the popularity of this beer. If you ever get a chance to tour the brewery in Newport, there is one room full of boxes of Dead Guy waiting to please the taste palates of beer drinkers everywhere.
The Big Guy and I were enjoying dinner at one of Eugene's local hot spots, Turtles, when I decided to enjoy another Dead Guy. We were discussing football plans, and what we were attempting to accomplish during our game the next day; I couldn't have felt more manly. My Dead Guy's color was a nice copper with just the slightest hard shade of red with a nice, pure white head. As usual, my beer had the perfect combination of malts and hops that blended so well together that it puts an image of the malt and hops being BFFs, and giving each other hugs during the brewing process. Weird? Yes. But try picturing that while enjoying that fantastic brew and tell me that it doesn't put a smile on your face.
Once again the fellas at Rogue continue to produce fantastic adult beverages, supplementing their reputation for being one of the best breweries in Oregon, one of the best beer making places in the world. Is that bias? Yes. But do it, malts and hops giving each other hugs? That's just hilarious.
