What a fitting statement from such a great character as Darryl Hammond playing Sean Connery. It is fitting because it is a statement from one of our country's great craft beer breweries, ROGUE! There is nothing quite like the taste of a Rogue Ale. For those of you who like the taste of Samuel Adams Boston Lager will definitely become a Rogue convert. Not taking anything away from Sam Adams and their line of craft beers, Rogue seems to have the right balance of flavors in all of their lines of beer, especially if you are pairing beer with food. For me, I like a great bar bq anytime of the year and I especially love bar bq'd pork and seafood. If you are like me, and love pairing beer with your meals, I would say for bar bq pork and seafood I would go directly for either a Rogue Dead Guy Ale or Double Dead Guy. The complexity of this beer and the great balance between the malt and hop profile makes this beer easy to drink and when drinking with pork or seafood, just pulls all the wonderful flavors from the meat without taking anything away from the meal itself. Trust me when I tell you that this beer will become a bench mark for you after you try just one! Sean Connery called out Alex Trebek on Jeopardy; "Ahh Trebek, You Rogue!" Are you a Rogue like Trebek?

At the pubs, Rogue pairs these with all kinds of different foods from Portobello (and beef) burgers to Feta Pizzas. All seems to go well, especially with fish and chips! If you do visit one of the Rogue Pubs, be prepared for a wallet thinning experience..........NO WHERE NEAR AS BAD AS Pelican Brew Pub though! As much as Pelican has yuppified Pacific City Oregon..........the beer is VERY good. I recommend their Cream Ale as a starter. MMMMMMMMM!
