Revision as of 23:49, 22 December 2005 by Dschor (talk | contribs) (hoping this is okay - my first beer article)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)According to Rogue, Dead Guy Ale is "Gratefully dedicated to the Rogue in each of us." This allusion to the Grateful Dead is apparently pure coincidence, as the Ale was created as a private tap sticker for Casa U Betcha in Portland, OR to celebrate the Mayan Day of the Dead, November 1st (All Souls Day). The design was so popular that it was adopted as the label for the potent Maierbock developed a few years later, which retains the name.
Dead Guy Ale is brewed in the German style, using Rogue Ales' proprietary 'PacMan ale yeast. It is deep honey in color, and has a markedly malty aroma, as well as a hefty content of alcohol.
