Our Beer, Our Barrels, Our Johns. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEWPORT, OR, December 17, 2010- In a collaboration of crafts, Rogue Brewmaster John Maier and Rogue Spirits Master Distiller John Couchot have joined forces to create a distinct, innovative series of brews called John John Ales. The series will take Rogue Ales legends and age them in Rogue Spirits barrels. The first of the John John series is John John Dead Guy Ale, Rogue's award winning Dead Guy Ale matured in Rogue's award winning Dead Guy Whiskey barrels. The cross collaboration of these two products starts with the distilling of Dead Guy Ale wort to create the Dead Guy Whiskey. The Whiskey is aged in Oak Barrels and bottled, then the Oak Barrels are taken from the distillery, by forklift, across the parking lot to the Brewery where they are filled with Dead Guy Ale and matured for three months. Each John John product will be a limited release. Following John John Dead Guy Ale will be John John Juniper Pale Ale: Rogue...

from the rogue news service: Quit Wine-ing: Turkey Finds Its  Soulmate Newport , OR , September 10, 2010  - According to Garrett Oliver, author of "The Brewmaster's Table," the question most often posed to sommeliers is "What wine goes best with a turkey dinner?"    The answer Oliver says, is beer!       Juniper Pale Ale  however, does not stop at the Thanksgiving dinner table.    In fact, only 29% of turkeys in the United States are consumed during the holiday season; leaving the rest of the year to pair Juniper Pale Ale with turkey sandwiches, turkey burgers, turkey hot-dogs, and turkey bacon. Rogue's passion for turkey has been growing over the years.    The turkey is now the official bird of the Rogue Nation and Juniper Pale Ale has been selected by the National Turkey Federation as the  Best Beer to Pair with Turkey .    By this time next year, Rogue plans to induct every single turkey into the Rogu...
