Since every one is on the micro brew posts lately, I thought I'de see if any one has tried some from these guys? I visited my family this winter in WA where they have one of their micro breweries and fell in love with their chocolate stout and mocha porter. any one have the pleasure of enjoying some of their fine beverages?

Had most of em. Very good, but the popularity sure has effected the price most 22oz bottles used to be 3.50-5$ now 6 and up.

Man, another brewery I gotta hate on tonight..

I love some Rogue beers (Chocolate Stout, Captain Sigs, Brutal Bitter, Dead Guy etc)..

BUT

Jamie hit the crux of the issue with them for me. Theyre priced too high, and it seems have a sense of entitement in doing so...even though there are tons of great beers out there, new and old, priced $1-3 cheaper.

I'll still buy my Dead Guy by the case at Costco when they have it...

But I'm done paying the high price for their 22s.

Kyle I asked because there is a small local brewery ran by an Englishman called Walkabout he has a great english style ale and at $4 is his spendiest big bottle.

Scott the Abyss can be hard to find and runs 16$ a pop.

If I'm drinking milder beers these days Jamie, it's more along the lines of a Saison or Farmhouse ale. Saison is quickly become another favorite style of mine, and I'll be drinking plenty of that this spring/summer when it warns up. Hopefully that's sooner rather than later!

I see saison all the time but have yet to try it....I think fred meyers has the Farmhouse.

One thatI surprised me was deshuttes Red Chair. Not a lighter beer, but deshuttes can be hit or miss with me (some are just boring ).

I may try the saison fishing!

Thanks for the great feedback, I'm glad you fine gents have experienced the joy of this beer! Great stuff and definitely worth buying if you ever happen to be in WA or OR at one of their breweries. But its definitely a bit ridiculous at the prices in the stores.

Considering the limited selection of beer available to us, I will not hesitate to pay $6 for 22ounces of rouge. We dont get many choices.
