Rogue Brewery is considered by many to be one of the premier domestic microbreweries in operation today. While beers like the Dead Guy Ale and the Shakespeare Stout are most widely acknowledged, Rogue’s Morimoto line of beers command recognition on their own. After tasting the Morimoto Soba Ale, we immediately felt that this one is fit for GearCrave’s Beer of the Week. Its a shame we popped this one as a dresser drink before leaving for sushi, as this would have paired brilliantly with our meal. The Morimoto Soba’s bittersweet taste accompanies flavors of lemon zest, spice and wheat, building into a medium bodied aftertaste that left room for a few more bottles… These might be a little tough to find, so call your local specialty market or liquor store. If they carry Rogue, chances are they can order this for you. Need help talking them into it? Just show ‘em this post!
