Rogue Ales (Newport, Oregon) has officially announced that it will begin the Seasonal Release of Beachy Clean in June 2022.

“Newport, our home, is an essential part of our identity, and we want to do whatever we can to protect this coastal area for years to come,” says Hagen Moore, VP of Marketing and Creative. “We hate seeing litter and destruction in our backyard, so we did what we do best and brewed a beer to give back. Now you can help keep our oceans and beaches healthy when you enjoy a Beachy Clean IPA. For every beer sold, we will donate a portion of the proceeds to nonprofit organizations such as SOLVE that are working to protect the coastal areas right here in our home of Newport, Oregon and all around the world.

We’re excited to partner with Rogue, a company with deep roots on the Oregon Coast that we’ve been fans of for years.

Rogue Ales adds Gumberoo West Coast IPA to Year-Round Portfolio

Posted on by mashingin

Rogue Ales (Newport, Oregon) has officially announced that it will launch Gumberoo West Coast IPA as a new Year-Round offering in February 2022.

The latest offering to join Batsquatch and Colossal Claude in Rogue’s Monsters of IPA Series, Gumberoo is a West Coast-style India Pale Ale that has “a subtle hop aroma with piney hop flavors up front that give way to a light tropical fruit body.” Coming in at 6.8% ABV and 66 IBUs, Gumberoo has a finish that rocks “a nice blend of malts, fruit and pine with a lingering bitterness.”

“The story of the Gumberoo is a fascinating one that we can all learn from,” says Hagen Moore, VP of Marketing and Creative. “As the story goes, three loggers were camped in the woods drinking beers and entertaining the idea of illegally harvesting old growth sequoias for extra cash when the ground suddenly shook with a heavy footstep. Bigger than a bear with wild eyes and jagged teeth, the Gumberoo rose from behind a stump with a mighty roar. As the loggers scrambled to escape, beer spilled onto the fire causing smoke to fill the air. Some say the forest only wanted to send them a warning that night as this stroke of smokey fortune helped hold off the Gumberoo while the loggers got away. So remember to respect our forests, put out your fires and always bring cold beer camping.”

Gumberoo is rolling out now and will be available Year-Round in 6-packs of 12 oz. cans and on draft. You can expect to find this new offering at craft beer-focused establishments located in Alabama, Florida, Oregon and throughout the rest of Rogue’s distribution network. Prost!

Rogue Ales Takes Santa’s Private Reserve Over the Top with Release of Kringle Krusher

Posted on by mashingin

Rogue Ales (Newport, Oregon) has officially announced that it will begin the Limited Release of Kringle Krusher, the 2021 edition of the brewery’s Santa’s Private Reserve Series, in December.

Inspired heavily by that tasty holiday treat known as rum balls, Kringle Krusher is a Winter Warmer that “has mildly sweet pastry and vanilla flavors that balance with a robust aged rum and brings together notes of caramel and spice.” Weighing in at 8.3% ABV, Kringle Krusher also offers a “rich base that has complex malt character, a light and clean hop bitterness and shadows of oak.”

“The story behind Kringle Krusher is an exciting one,” adds Hagen Moore, VP of Marketing and Creative. “When Santa caught Krampus stealing his rum balls he offered Krampus a choice: either give them back, or wrestle for ’em. Krampus, blinded by the allure of the delicious sweets, chose to face Santa in the ring. A poor choice, as Santa and his love of this holiday treat would prove too powerful for Krampus. With one hit from Santa’s famous Gumdrop Elbow Drop, Krampus conceded and handed over the rum balls. That match, forever known as the Royal Rumball, and Santa’s love for the confection are the inspiration for this year’s Santa’s Private Reserve.“

Kringle Krusher is rolling out now and will hang around through the 2021 Holiday Season (while supplies last). You can expect to find this Limited Release available in 4-packs of 16 oz. cans and on draft at select craft beer-focused establishments located in Alabama, Florida, Oregon and throughout the rest of Rogue’s distribution network.

Rogue’s Pumpkin Patch Ale Returns with New Look

Posted on by mashingin

Rogue Ales (Newport, Oregon) has officially announced that Pumpkin Patch Ale will return for a Seasonal Release in August 2021.

Back a bit early this year and rocking a new look in a “vibrant” 16 oz. can, Pumpkin Patch Ale is a Pumpkin Ale “made with real, whole pumpkins from a local farm in Independence, Oregon.” After the pumpkins were cut and roasted by hand, the natural sugars sourced from the roast were united “with a delicate balance of spices, [creating] the signature flavor of this classic fall-themed brew.” Pumpkin Patch Ale comes in at 6.1% ABV.

“This beer is typically released later in the season since we use real pumpkins, but fans have been requesting an earlier release and we listened,” says Jack Waibel, VP of Production. “Instead of waiting until September when the pumpkins are ready to harvest, we purchased real pumpkins from a local farm in 2020 and froze them so we could brew Pumpkin Patch Ale a little earlier this year. This beer is the same world-class product that it has always been in a rad, new 16 oz. can.”

“Call me basic but I eagerly await all year for the release of Pumpkin Patch Ale,” says Waibel. “This is one of my favorite beers that marks one of the best times of the year. Pumpkin Patch Ale pairs great with butternut squash soup, seared venison and shortbread cookies or you can enjoy this sweet and malty ale on its own while watching the leaves fall.”

Pumpkin Patch Ale is rolling out now and is scheduled to hang out through October 2021. You can expect to find this Seasonal offering available in 4-packs of 16 oz. cans and on draft at select craft beer-focused establishments located in Alabama, Florida, Oregon and throughout the rest of Rogue’s distribution area.

Rogue Ales Adds Raspberry Tartlandia to Seasonal Lineup

Posted on by mashingin

Rogue Ales (Newport, Oregon) has officially announced that it will begin the Seasonal Release of Raspberry Tartlandia in May 2021.

Developed to serve as an “homage to [Rogue’s] home in Oregon . . . [and] the culinary wonderland that is Portland,” Raspberry Tartlandia is a Gose-style Ale “brewed with raspberry, coriander and hand-harvested salt from Newport’s Yaquina Bay.” Coming in at a refreshing 4.9% ABV, Raspberry Tartlandia is “a flavor-packed experience, just like visiting Portland, that’ll make you want to move there or thank your lucky stars that you already have.”

“Rogue headquarters have been located on the Oregon Coast for over thirty years and Newport means so much to us,” says Hagen Moore, VP of Marketing & Creative. “We are constantly getting inspiration from our surroundings and the people nearby. In fact, Raspberry Tartlandia is brewed with salt that we hand harvested from the Yaquina Bay in our backyard and is inspired by a beer that we brewed with Chris Rogers to celebrate the Oregon Coast Community College’s independent accreditation.”

“While our headquarters are located on the Oregon Coast, Portland also plays a huge role in our identity and this beer is an ode to the culinary wonderland that is Portland,” adds Moore. “Raspberry Tartlandia is an outrageously delicious combination of raspberry juiciness, sea salt and refreshing tartness. Each sip is a flavor-packed experience, much like visiting the food mecca that is Portland.”

Raspberry Tartlandia will debut in May and is scheduled to hang around through August 2021.
