As most beer fans know, stouts just taste better in winter, when nights are longer and deep, dark brews warm the soul.

And Rogue Ales & Spirits has an award-winning roster of stouts that make more sense than ever during the winter months…

“Don’t get us wrong, stout season is year-round for many of us, but we just love cozying up with some of our favorite dark, roasty beers this time of year,” says Amanda Zessin, Rogue Communications Director.

“This winter, we’re bringing back fan-favorites with a unique twist and new packaging. Enjoy these satisfying stouts on a cold night at home by the fire, or crack one open for a special occasion like Valentine’s Day with your loved one.”

On shelves this season are Rogue’s notorious Chocolate Stout Nitro, award-winning Shakespeare Stout with a nitro twist, the 2021 Rolling Thunder Imperial Stout, 2021 Rolling Thunder Imperial Stout finished in Chipotle Whiskey Barrels and the much-anticipated Double Chocolate Stout in a new 16-ounce can format.
