Tonight I went to Whole Foods to get a couple of beers (thanks to a recent visit from K). I got a beer called Raisin D’etre, which I tried earlier this week. It’s really good – good enough to try again. I also got a Rogue Dead Guy Ale Oregon Brewed. I tried Rogue at the Pasty Company last week and loved it. That one had a very caramel-ly aftertaste. The one I got tonight must have been a different kind because it didn’t have that same taste. It was a good beer, just a little more tart than I prefer. I’ll just have to keep an eye out for the other Rogue next time.

The Rogue brew from the Cornish Pasty Co was the Hazelnut Brown. Rogue has better than 30 beers and their Dead Guy Ale is the most commonly found. Details for the Hazelnut Brown Nectar can be found here: http://www.rogue.com/beers/hazelnut-brown.php It should be a available through Top’s liquor on University or Bevmo at the Tempe Marketplace.
Anther option for a malty, caramel brown ales would be:
Old Monkey Shine from Nimbus brewery
