I got an email from Rogue Nation this morning. What is Rogue Nation you ask?
The Rogue Nation is comprised of the brewery, two brewpubs, two distilleries, and six public house embassies; along with an international network of distributors, retailers and consumers. Rise Up! Rogue Ales are shipped to all fifty states and exported to several countries including Japan, Great Britain, and Denmark. The brewery in Newport, Oregon produces all the packaged and draft beer for distribution.This is a great marketing tool. I am a big fan of Rogue and am now reminded to check for Rogue ales when I am near the Galeville Grocery next Saturday. You too can sign up for the newsletter by emailing newportoffice@rogue.com.

Alan, as luck would have it, Rogue Dead Guy Ale was on the menu tonight. The wife says 'Rogue: not just for breakfast anymore' and I say: 'what a terrific everyday, happy to be alive, tasty ale'.

Ah, sounds like you're a Kingstonian too. We live in Kingston's very far outer suburbs.
As for Rogue--I ask myself 'why do I need a beer to travel 3000 miles? After all, I could just drink Sackett's Harbor'. Which is a good point. I don't have an answer, except to say Rogue is a great beer, it has made the trip safely, and who says I can't enjoy beers from near and far? And maybe go to Oregon one day for a vacation?

Paul and I are at the Wyoming game and beer shopping next weekend, Gary, in a town near you. We are considering a Middle Ages morning tour. You can join us.

It could be argued that Saturday I will get more bang for my five bucks....football game plus tailgate party. I invite you gentlemen to come this way for your next football experience. I now get the picture: Paul is in the inside circle, one of us from greater (or even GREATER) Kingston. I must say, I truly meet the nicest people around gen x and beer blog.

"inner circus" would be more accurate.
