I am amazed whenever I see the longevity of some breweries and also of the brewers that man the kettles. I may not want to go near the Beard Beer but it is fantastic that John Maier has been brewing for so long.
“1 Brewer. 1 Brewery. 15,000 Brews: In 1989 John Maier started at the Rogue Ales Brewery in Newport, Oregon and was there for the very first Rogue brew – so began one of the longest standing relationships in the craft brewing industry. To commemorate 23 years, 900+ awards, and 15,000 batches Rogue is releasing 1515 bottles of BREW 15,000. This Belgian Stout will be available through a limited release on www.rogue.com – each bottle will be hand numbered and signed by John. Stay tuned for date of availability…”
Beard Beer? Really?
Rogue is not content with Bacon Maple beer! Now they go even further down the rabbit hole.
This may be a bit much for me. There are lines that I get queasy upon crossing and this is one.
