Appropriate brew for today

I'm going to start this off by saying that I'm flat out exhausted, and this is going to be a rather short post. The past two days have pretty much drained me of any potential energy. So, fittingly, I went for a brew that you might have heard of... Rogue's Dead Guy Ale.

This was actually the first beer that I had at one of the [Taco Mac's] here in Atlanta. I will for sure be having many of my daily brews here throughout the year, because they have hundreds of beers available at all of their locations.

Rogue is a very pertinent craft brewery on the shelves of beer stores across the country -- most of the time when I am checking a new place out they usually have 4 or 5 different Rogue brews. They are easily recognizable because of the creatively repetitive motif of a 'Mike Rowe lookalike' holding a beer one hand and doing a fist pump with the other. Each (mostly) of their brews have different variations of this guy, or some other person, doing the same pose. The graphics person in me really likes how they put that together.

I'll finish with this awfully short post with a fun fact: Dead Guy Ale was created to celebrate the Mayan Day of the Dead, which is November 1st. Also known as 'All Souls Day', in some other spanish speaking cultures it's called Dia de Muertos. I learned that in high school. And you just learned it here. At least there was something good that came from this post! (Rogue, you're getting a redo very soon. You deserve better than this one.)

Oh yea, I almost forgot. This one was really good. It's categorized as a 'German maibock' but basically its like an amber ale. It was malty and very well balanced, with not too much of a hop profile. Definitely one to try for those who aren't crazy about hops.
