**** Rogue, up the ***, and npt in the gpod way either. They treat their employees like **** and overprice their beers (seriosuly, paying minimum wage, randomly firing and rehiring, doing all they can to prevent their workers forming/joining a union etc). They've got way too much marketing ploys and way too little good beers. Get something by Southern Tier, Stone, Bells, Three Floyds, Flying Dog, Dogfishhead, Green Flash, Ninkasi, Great Divide, Anderson Valley, Flying Dog or one of the many, many, MANY oyther amazing and honest breweries instead. You'll probably be paying less as well.

Pfft ya, um welcome to America. Everyone is treated like dirt here. But if you want some cheap beer made on a subsidized communist plantation or whatever more power to you. It was decent and the same price as the other microbrews from the area. Options were that or more of the wine leftover from the sis-in-law's wedding. Think I made the right choice.

You made the right choice. Still, Rogue employees are treated like dirt by American standards. It's not so bad that I'd avoid them but I'd rather buy another brewer's beer instead and with the plethora of good breweries around I don't find myself ever buying anything made by Rogue.

About €15-20 per bomber (65-75 cl bottle). Depending on the beer you get. We don't get much rogue out here anyway.

The €22.50 or so I paid for a big bottle of Alesmith speedway stout was totally worth it though. And so was the €9.50 I paid for a bottle of Oaked Arrogant *******.

Yeah that's nuts. Using google's handy converter to put it in your words, methinks I paid like 1.25 Euro for a 50cl bottle.

This is my beer. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

It is my life.

I must master it as I must master my life.

Without me my beer is useless. Without my beer, I am useless.

I must drink my beer true. I must drink faster than the enemy who is trying to out-drink me. I must maintain before he passes out. I will.

My beer and I know that what counts in bars is not the rounds we drink, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the chugs that count.
We will chug.

My beer is awesome, even as I am awesome, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother.
I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its froth and its hoppiness.

I will keep my beer full, even as I am full. We will become part of each other.

Before God I swear this creed. My beer and I are the defenders of my party. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until victory is drunk on it's own excesses and there is no enemy.

When converting, just use $1 = €1, it's the most accurate conversion of what stuff is worth from what I've found.

Still, just about any American beer I can only get from American tourists who've traded their fancy beers for some Begian/Dutch fancy beers so costs are high.

Whatever makes you feel better sweetie. I'm sure we can still work out a way to get you that green card. Smiley: wink

But yeah, most anything from Europe I'm going to one of the little ethnic grocers that are scattered around and paying at least $4 a bottle. Haven't been able to do that so much lately, it's the pits. Smiley: frown

Rouge: Hazelnut Brown Nectar is really tasty.
Deschutes: Black Butte Porter is my go-to porter. Fortunately, it's not difficult for me to find. Even my grocery store carries it.
€: This is a made up symbol.

Trying out lots of different craft brews is one of life's biggest joys. Porters, stouts, rauchbiers, schwarzbiers, witbiers, dubbels, tripels, trappists, big ole American IPAs, saisons... life is good.
