Rogue Beers & Spirits not to be missed:

Big Ass Barrel - An American Strong Ale brewed in a barrel for 60 days.

Beard Beer - This beer was just released this week and is going fast! Brewed from a yeast from a brewers beard, this light beer is a popular favorite.

Pink Spruce Gin (http://rogue.com/spirits/pink-spruce-gin.php) - Pink Spruce Gin, with a slightly more robust body and mouthfeel, highlights the best of Spruce Gin’s already fruity esters and adds smooth, yet restrained flavors of vanilla, oak and tannins.

Hazelnut Spice Rum (http://rogue.com/spirits/rogue-hazelnut-rum.php) - Hazelnut Spiced Rum instantly reveals sweet aromas of toasted hazelnut and brown sugar. Medium-bodied, a sweet blend of vanilla, cinnamon and clove set the stage for an oaky, vanilla and bourbon-like finish.

Dead Guy Whiskey (http://rogue.com/spirits/dead-guy-whiskey.php) - Dead Guy Whiskey has a fresh orange citrus aroma with a delicately sweet, rich malt complex. Medium-bodied, flavors of oak and honey give way to a clean vanilla finish.

Oregon Single Malt Whiskey (http://rogue.com/spirits/single-malt-whiskey.php) - Opens with an attractive aroma of floral honey, peach and mango. Medium-to-full bodied, the aromas slowly transition to lush, ripe fruit and brown spice.
