It's said in jest that the Scots like a drink. Put aside those clumsy "comedy" stereotypes for a second, and you'll find that our love of good beer is a more considered affair. Belhaven Scottish Ale is a fine example of this appreciation. This classic 3.9% strength Scottish ale is a real old timer, having been brewed at Belhaven longer that any other beer. Its sweet ruby mix of malt and hops pampers and primes the palate, preparing you for a smooth creamy finish. It's a carefully crafted ale to make our nation swell with pride.

Best With: 
Game birds, lamb and roast pork are ideal food pairings for this Scottish Ale.

Rogue Dead Guy Ale

Product - Rogue Dead Guy
Brewed By: 
Rogue
Self-Defined Style: 
Maibock
Strength (ABV): 
6.5% ABV

Gratefully dedicated to the Rogue in each of us. 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 popular and was incorporated into a bottled product a few years later with Maierbock as the elixir. Strangely, the association with the Grateful Dead is pure coincidence. Dead Guy is a German-style Maibock made with Rogue's proprietary "PacMan" ale yeast.

Best With: 
This amber colored ale pairs nicely with brothy soups, salted almonds, game birds and seafood. This brew also offers a nice companion to cheeses and fruits.

Self-Defined Style: 
American Pale Ale
Strength (ABV): 
5.6% ABV
Bitterness (IBU): 
38 IBU

Our most popular beer, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, is a delightful interpretation of a classic style. It has a deep amber color and an exceptionally full-bodied, complex character. Generous quantities of premium Cascade hops give the Pale Ale its fragrant bouquet and spicy flavor.

Best With: 
While we think Pale Ale tastes great with everything, its assertive hop flavor goes especially well with spicy cuisine, since its clean flavors counterbalance the richness of many hot dishes. It also goes well with starters and salads, its spicy complexity stimulating both appetites and conversation.

Self-Defined Style: 
Porter
Strength (ABV): 
5.6% ABV

Dark and rich, Sierra Nevada Porter is a delicious, medium-bodied ale with a creamy head. The Porter's smooth flavor (malty with hints of caramel) comes from a blend of deep-roasted barley malts.

Best With: 
While porters are traditionally paired with steak (think Porterhouse), its deep maltiness is an equally perfect match for the rich, smoky flavors of grilled Portobello mushrooms. The creaminess of Porter's chocolate and caramel malts also makes it a perfect accompaniment to desserts, especially those made with chocolate.
