The Deadliest Catch

Today’s Rogue Ale is dedicated to Sig Hansen, the late captain of the Northwestern crabbing ship on The Deadliest Catch.

Captain Sig’s Northwestern Ale is an India Red Ale – similar in taste to an IPA, but redder in color, and more bitter in taste.  This is a big, strong beer – good for your first beer, but it should be followed by something a bit lighter.
