Rogue Ales Celebrates All Things Local with Chatoe Rogue – OREgasmic Ale
INDEPENDENCE, OR. – Rogue Ales will celebrate all things Oregon this spring with the second release from Chatoe Rogue – OREgasmic Ale. From seed to bottle, OREgasmic Ale is 100% Oregon, 100% Rogue. It is brewed with Oregon hops and malt grown on Rogue’s own Micro Hopyard and Micro Barley Farm.
OREgasmic Ale is brewed using 6 Oregon ingredients:
1. Rogue Micro Barley Farm DareTM Malt (Tygh Valley, OR)
2. Rogue Micro Barley Farm RiskTM Malt (Tygh Valley, OR)
3. Rogue Micro Hopyard Revolution Hops (Independence, OR)
4. Rogue Micro Hopyard Independent Hops (Independence, OR)
5. Free Range Coastal Water (Newport, OR)
6. Rogue Pacman Yeast (Odell, OR)
Even glass production and the serigraph labeling are done in Oregon.
Rogue is dedicated to saving the terroir of Oregon hops and barley, one acre at a time, by growing its own. The Rogue Grow Your Own (GYO) Micro Barley Farm is located in Oregon’s Tygh Valley Appellation and Rogue’s 42 acre Micro Hopyard is located in Oregon’s Wigrich Appellation.
OREgasmic Ale will be on shelves on April 1st, 2011.

Bottled beer sucks. But don’t tell anyone, because Rate Beer and Beer Advocate (and a few countless others) would be searching for new hobbies almost immediately. Many of them wouldn’t know the difference between a beer that was purchased at the source or one that sat on a trans-Atlantic boat for weeks, exposed to the elements – then sat on a hot shelf for gosh knows how long.
The paradox of Rogue is that they have a world-class brewer in John Maier, they charge premium for their beer but haven’t got a clue on how to market or distribute their beer. Dead Guy ale shouldn’t be the first thought to everyone who hears the name Rogue.
Rogue did not deliver a single pint of their Fresh Hop ale (on draught) to their SF pub this last fall. This is an epic failure. Whats more alarming, is the trivia pursuit clientele at their SF Pub were totally oblivious to this fact. That is, in between their shots of Absinthe and sucking on their iPhones in a “no-cell phone zone”
