Rogue Ales and Discovery’s Deadliest Catch

Everyone has heard of beer & food pairings, but this the true Beer & Television Program Paring!

Today, April 12th at 9:00pm, the 7th season of cables #1 reality television show, Deadliest Catch will be premiering on The Discovery Channel. Ten’s of millions of people around the world know about Deadliest Catch program; but what far fewer know, is that our fine friends at Oregon’s famed Rogue Ales brew a highly award winning Craft beer dedicated to Captain Sig Hansen and the crew of his boat, The Northwestern. Rogue Captain Sig’s Northwestern Ale is a bold India Red Ale, as Rogue calls it, with a fantastic punch of American hops, land this brew at 80 IBU’s and 6.2% abv.

Look for Rogue Captain Sig’s Northwestern Ale in 22oz bottles and on draft wherever better beer is sold!

And good luck on the frozen Bering Sea, Hansen Brothers: Sig, Edgar, and Norman! … I’ll be watching you on my warm couch with my cold Northwestern Ale!
