Rogue Ales launches Dead Guy Pilsner and Pale Ale in Coffin Club Variety Pack

Rogue Ales & Spirits, is one of Oregon’s oldest breweries and is in the early stages of reinventing their oldest and most iconic beer - Dead Guy Ale - into its own brand. In January, Rogue launched Dead Guy IPA, a new beer in green that stands in contrast to the original Dead Guy which is a German-style Maibock. With the new Rogue Ales Dead Guy Coffin Club variety pack they are testing the waters on two more diversifications of Dead Guy with Dead Guy Pilsner and Pale Ale.

More from a press release:

This brand new variety pack builds on the legacy of Rogue’s flagship and most popular beer of over 30 years, Dead Guy Ale, and offers fans the chance to try the newly released Dead Guy IPA and two beers that are exclusive to the Coffin Club 12pk; Dead Guy Pilsner and Dead Guy Pale Ale. Dig up a Coffin Club to be the first to try these new additions to the Dead Guy Legacy.

“We expanded the Dead Guy legend for those who connect with the spirit and image that Dead Guy represents, but aren’t always looking to enjoy our riff on a Maibock,” says Hagen Moore, VP of Marketing and Creative. “We wanted to make a product worthy of the Dead Guy name for everyone to enjoy – a Dead Guy for every moment. Our variety pack offers a taste of it all. The OG ale for our longtime fans, an IPA for the hopheads, a light crisp pilsner for day-to-night sipping, and a well-balanced pale ale to round it out. There’s something for everyone and every mood.”

“We put a little twist on the old saying and like to say that variety is the spice of death. That's why we packed four distinct and unique styles of Dead Guy into this macabre box of brews,” adds Moore. “Dead Guy Ale, Dead Guy IPA, Dead Guy Pilsner, and Dead Guy Pale Ale were buried in this box and are sure to bring life to your next party. You don't have to be a Dead Guy to join the Coffin Club. Live now - rest later.”
