American Amber AleIf you’re a fan of Rogue, you already know about the beery goodness that is Rogue’s American Amber Ale. They’ve been brewing it since 1988 and you can normally find it in 22oz bottles and six packs at your store of choice. But, what if you’re just a little bit thirstier than that? What if you don’t want to carry three 22oz bottles home? Then this is your lucky day because they’re serving up 64oz growlers (WOW!) for a limited time.

Beer Madness: The Sweet Sixteen

Posted by Andy Gradel | News & Notes | Wednesday, 19 March 2008

Beer MadnessWashingtonPost.com‘s “Beer Madness” has entered its second week as the original 32 brews have been whittled down to the sweet 16. The second round features some interesting matchups:

Brooklyn Lager vs. Flying Dog Old Scratch
Penn Pilsner vs. Raven Lager
Stone Pale Ale vs. Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA
Harpoon IPA vs. Troegs HopBack Amber Ale
Leinenkugel’s Sunset Wheat vs. Ommegan Hennepin
Oxford Rasberry Wheat vs. Rogue Juniper Pale Ale
Abita Turbodog vs. Sam Adams Honey Porter
Smuttynose Old Brown Dog Ale vs. Hook & Ladder Backdraft Brown

Voting ends March 23rd, so be sure to make your voice heard. My money’s still on Leinenkugel’s Sunset Wheat. It’s too good to lose out this early and, with the currently popularity of wheat beer, it has to be the odds-on favorite.
