Congratulations to Josh Tuininga, whose Dead Guy Entry was voted the winner in our pubs, and by our team of unqualified critics. Your Dead Guy Prize Pack will be on the way shortly.

At the beginning of the month, we asked fans of Dead Guy Ale to submit their own Dead Guy artwork, in whatever form it might be. We received drawings, paintings, tattoos, glasswork, even a custom pool table, and were inspired by the creativity, humor and enthusiasm shown for Dead Guy Ale.

The Rogue.com homepage was updated daily with a different, fan created, Dead Guy image on the front page to celebrate Halloween and The Day of the Dead. We received many more entries than days of the month, so while not every entry could have it’s own day, as the contest is now over we are opening up our gallery and posting every entry we received.

So crack open a bottle of Dead Guy, and take a look at all the great entries we received right here: http://www.rogue.com/Special/deadguy.php

And be ready, because there is more fun on the horizon…



In the recent episode of Supernatural, “Live Free or Twi-hard” which originally aired October 22nd on the CW, we learned that Dead Guy Ale is not only a favorite of the living, but the un-dead as well. Dead Guy appears to be the beer of choice in this Vampire bar.

Come up with a Dead Guy of your own, or recreate one of our Dead Guys in a creative, funny, or spooky way to celebrate Halloween and Dia de los Muertos. A different entry will be featured on the front page of www.rogue.com on each day of October. On November 2nd, The Day of the Dead, the winning entry will be selected and the winner will receive a special Dead Guy Prize Pack!

Send your Dead Guy art to deadguy@rogue.com or deliver it, in person, to any Rogue pub.

Check the entry gallery to view the archive of selected entries.

INDEPENDENCE, OR, August 23, 2010 — Rogue Ales has begun our annual harvest of GYO Certified hops from the Rogue Farms Micro Hopyard in Oregon’s Wigrich Appellation. We honor our cultivation, growth, and harvest by using 5 different varieties and 2,200lbs of fresh hops from our 42-acre farm to create this year’s Chatoe Rogue Wet Hop Ale.

Like any farmer sowing seed in soil, the success of our hops lies a great deal in the hands of Mother Nature. Master Brewer John Maier had planned to add a sixth variety to the brew, but our Alluvial Hops did not produce this year.

After being cut from the trellises, the hop cones are separated and loaded into 250lb burlap sacks, driven 77 miles to the Brewery in Newport, OR, and immediately pitched into the brew kettle. Total elapse time: approximately 2 hours, 17 minutes.

Due to the massive quantity of wet hops used in the brewing process we create three small batches, and then blend them to form our Wet Hop Ale.

• Batch One August 23: 250lbs of Revolution Hops and 250lbs of Liberty Hops
• Batch Two August 24: 500lbs of Freedom Hops and 250lbs of Independence Hops
• Batch Three August 26: 1,000lbs of Rebel Hops

Wet Hop Ale is brewed with 11 ingredients: Carawheat, Carafoam, and Rogue Micro Barley Farm DareTM & RiskTM Malts; Rogue Micro Hopyard first growth Freedom, Revolution,
Independent, Rebel, & Liberty Hops; Pacman Yeast & Free Range Coastal Water.

Wet Hop Ale will be available in select markets on October 1st, 2010. Rogue remains dedicated to saving the terroir of Oregon hops and barley, one acre at a time, by growing our own.
