The place I usually go to has the normal beer selection, but I've noticed they have a bunch of Rogue Ales. Can anyone recommend some good Rogue ales?

Theyre all good really. I'm nit too much of a fan of the somer orange one. But everything else is pretty good.
What kind of beer do you usually like?

I usually like IPAs, but lately I've found myself liking lighter beers and brown beers. I tried Rogue's hazelnut ale the other day. Was pretty good.

I like the dead guy ale in the bottle.
On draught I like some of the other ones(I think it is a chocolate stout I'm thinking of). Might have to go try a few for lunch now that you have me thinking about it.

If they have Juniper pale ale, try that. Or Yellow Snow IPA. Dead Guy is a very malty beer. Not really what I would want this time of year.

I've seen this. What does it taste like? I've looked for Yellow Snow and can't find it.

Basically like it sounds. A relatively hoppy pale ale with a hint of juniper.

I'm not sure if I've ever had juniper

Don't they make gin with juniper?

For a lighter one, try the Morimoto.

The Chipotle Ale is nice too.

If you are looking at the darker heavier beers, the Shakespeare Stout, Chocolate, and Mocha Porter are some of my favorite.

Really, Rogue makes a pretty solid line of beers. Haven't had much that wasn't good. Their "Organic" line didn't make a huge impression on me though.

If I'm not mistaken, there are three or four Morimoto brews. There's a pils and at least two (maybe three?) buckwheat ales.

This:


Not:


Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe NOLA should make a seasonal Buckwheat Zydeco Ale.

This. Hazelnut Brown Nectar. If you can find it definitely get it. They had it at Calandro's last time I was in BR and it's delicious. Haven't seen it anywhere else though.

The Soba is actually the buckwheat ale. There is a light one and a dark one for sure, and I think there might be another tweener.

Brutal Bitter is awesome if you can find it.

I'd recommend the John and John ale.

It's their Dead Guy ale, ferminted in aged whiskey barrels, and it gives off a slight oak and whiskey scent and taste with a nice smooth finish.

I've never had anything bad from them. Alot is very good. The Somer Orange Honey Wheat is a good water substitute in the summer (same style as Oberon).

Hazelnut Brown Nectar is one of my favorite browns
Captain Sig's Northwestern Ale is very good
Chateau Rogue's First Growth Creek Ale is very good (anyone know where to get this, I'd like another)
Mocha Porter is awesome
Dead Guy ale is meh, not bad (I know they're not the same but I buy arrogant bastard over this everytime)
Dad's Little Helper Black IPA is pretty good

That's the only one's I've tried that I can think of.

Rogue used to make a version of YSB that was really good. Does anyone know if it is marketed by another name or did they just stop making it?
