Cons: Rogue's out-of-state prices usually mean picking something else from the shelf.

Part three of my personal Porter off. I've picked up a six of each of the Porters I could find to review alone and then set up head to head. But I then refrain from getting in my car and driving around town looking for pets or slow children.

Cons: Not for everyone, a bit pricey

I once spent a week as a temp worker at the Rogue brewery, so I got to see the nuts and bolts of how these beers are put together. I was impressed with the care that went into each batch of each brew, so I decided to try a few of them. It...

Pros: Very tasty, not too much mocha
Cons: Nothin...

Wow!! There isn't enough that I can say about Rogue's beers. The Mocha Porter is another of my favorite beers mainly because the mocha flavor is present yet not overbearing. A not-too-thick porter, the Mocha Porter provides you with a dark, yet smooth...
