Victory Baltic Thunder

Victory Baltic Thunder

Truly a worldly beer. Baltic Thunder represents the Baltic Porter style admirably. Exhibiting the enticing, toffee roast of the British porter that originated the style in the 18th century, and the soothing, subtle fruit nuance of contemporary brews that flourish from Helsinki to Vilnius today, this dark lager honors the Baltic god of thunder. Created by an inspired collaboration of brewers and tempered with a touch of turmoil, Baltic Thunder rolls on to bring you enchanting light as the darkness fades.

Brooklyn Brown Ale

Brooklyn Brown Ale

This is an award-winning original American brown ale, first brewed as a holiday specialty, and now one of our most popular beers year-round.


Northern English brown ales tend to be strong and dry, while southern English brown ales are milder and sweeter. Brooklyn Brown Ale combines the best of those classic styles and then adds an American accent in the form of a firm hop character and roasty palate. A blend of six malts, some of them roasted, give this beer its deep russet-brown color and complex malt flavor, fruity, smooth and rich, with a caramel, chocolate and coffee background. Generous late hopping brings forward a nice hop aroma to complete the picture. Brooklyn Brown Ale is full-flavored but retains a smoothness and easy drinkability that has made it one of the most popular beers in the Northeast.

Stoudt’s Scarlet Lady


Stoudts Scarlet Lady

This English-style ale is brewed with Marris Otter and Caramel malts for a rich, reddish-copper color and smooth malty palate. The use of bittering and aroma additional hops balances the regal, sweet maltiness and imparts a softly perfumed aroma.

Abita Turbo Dog


Abita Turbo Dog

Turbodog is a dark brown ale brewed with Willamette hops and a combination of pale, crystal and chocolate malts. This combination gives Turbodog its rich body and color and a sweet chocolate toffee-like flavor. Turbodog began as a specialty ale but has gained a huge loyal following and has become one of our flagship brews.


This ale pairs well with most meats and is great served with hamburgers or sausages. It is a good match with smoked fish and can even stand up to wild game dishes. Turbodog is also great for marinating and braising meats and cooking such things as cabbage and greens. Colby, Gloucester, Cheddar and Blue cheeses go nicely with Turbodog. It’s perfect with spicy Louisiana jambalaya or Spanish paella. Some even like it paired with chocolate!

Long Trail Blackberry Wheat


Long Trail Blackberry Wheat

Light and refreshing with a hint of blackberry at the finish makes this beer a real thirst quencher! This brew combines 2-Row Pilsen malt and of course plenty of malted wheat.

Konig Pilsener


Konig Pilsener

König Pilsener ist als erstes deutsches Premium-Pilsener überall dort zu Hause, wo höchste Qualität der Maßstab der Dinge ist. Keine andere Biermarke verbindet Erfolg und Hochklassigkeit so vollkommen wie König Pilsener - das König der Biere.


Don’t ask me - its a German beer. Google translate that shit.

Rogue Dead Guy Ale


Rogue Dead Guy Ale

In the early 1990s Dead Guy Ale was created as a private tap sticker to celebrate the Mayan Day of the Dead (November 1st, All Souls Day) for Casa U Betcha in Portland, Oregon. The Dead Guy design proved so popular with consumers and especially Grateful Dead fans, that we made it the label for our Maierbock ale. Even though the association with the Grateful Dead band is pure coincidence, we have gratefully dedicated Dead Guy Ale to the Rogue in each of us.


In the style of a German Maibock, using our proprietary Pacman ale yeast. Deep honey in color with a malty aroma and a rich hearty flavor.

Sierra Nevada Stout


Sierra Nevada Stout

Creamy, malty, and full-bodied, the Sierra Nevada Stout is satisfyingly rich. Caramel and Black malts give the Stout its deep, dark color and pronounced roasted flavor.


“Sierra Nevada Stout is admirable from nose to finish, with notes of malty sweetness to the palate but plenty of bitterness available to set up a stimulating counterpoint.”

Dogfish Head 60 min IPA


Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA

Our flagship beer is continuously & intensely hopped. A session India Pale Ale brewed with Warrior, Amarillo & ‘Mystery Hop X.’ A powerful East Coast I.P.A. with a lot of citrusy hop character. The session beer for hardcore beer enthusiasts!
