Dead Guy Ale

October 31, 2012

Brewed by: Rogue Brewery, Newport, Oregon

ABV: 6.5

Style: German Maibock

3.0 out of 5 burps

I really thought I had tried this one. But maybe it was Wake Up Dead (yummers!). Nah. Maybe it was at MacNiven’s? Or maybe I’ve just seen the bottle enough times up on the shelf there. Whatever way, it seemed appropriate to post for Halloween.

Wherever I may or may not have tasted it before, this time it was in a German dive bar in Covington, Ky., while watching a Reds playoff game against San Francisco on Oct. 13. They’re 3-1 SF in the fourth. Angel Pagan, how do you live up to that name? And nertz but this is a GIANT pretzel.

But now that it’s well after that game on the 10th, know it didn’t turn out too well for the Reds, and meh for this Dead Guy.

Tasted at: Wunderbar, 1132 Lee St., Covington, Ky.
