Finale IPA & Big News!

by alexthegraham, posted in Release

Come join us this Wednesday, October 26, for our final release and tap-takeover at Rogue Eastside!

After almost 13 years and 500 batches, the Green Dragon Brewers’ final stammtisch and release party at Rogue Eastside Pub & Pilot Brewery will be this Wednesday at 5:30 pm, where we’ll release “Finale IPA” and a handful of other great beers we’ve been waiting to launch.

Rogue has decided to cease brewing operations at this location, and we hope you will join us for a final toast to say “Thanks!” to Rogue and for the release of Finale IPA, a nod to our first batch at Rogue: Finally IPA, brewed way back in 2009.

While this chapter may be ending, we have some very exciting things coming up to take the program to new territory (news to come!)

We hope to see you for this final stammtisch at Rogue Eastside!

Worn-out old Green Dragon t-shirts encouraged!

Cheers!

Rum-Drunk Minotaur (2018)

by alexthegraham, posted in Release

This is a special beer brewed by all members of Green Dragon Brewing (Rich, Steve, Alex, Warren, Tracy and Dylan) on two back-to-back brew days, December 30th & 31st of 2017. It is a classic Belgian dark strong ale. This special-edition was aged for two months in a Rogue-made, 20 gallon oak barrel with Rogue Dark Rum. It was then cellared and aged for over a year. Look out for the apple, plum and oak flavor characteristics and let it warm you up. Cheers!

Moment of Darkness (2018)

by alexthegraham, posted in Release

Five malts were blended with the base malt to produce this big, wintery, Russian Imperial Stout. The resulting beer was aged for twenty months to smooth out the bite of the large malt bill and produce this smooth but big ol’ stout for Big Beer Month, 2020. The complexity of the grain bill shines through the smooth magnum hop bitter and results in a meld of chocolate, malt, and a touch of vanilla flavors riding on a backbone of a rich, full bodied stout. Enjoy the complex flavors of this Winter bounty.

Finally IPA

by alexthegraham, posted in Release

The first beer the Green Dragon Brewers produced for the Green Dragon was called “Finally” after the long struggle to make a beer at the pub and the result (Finally). Tonight we have the return of Finally IPA. It is the original recipe brewed by the original brewers and tonight, 450 beers later is the return of Finally IPA. A malt driven beer with a lot of hops give you that old time hop burn. Magnum, Cascade and Simcoe hops provide a clean bitterness with a flavor of the pine and citrus. Yet the malt, hops and alcohol meld together with a nice balance the average hop-head will enjoy. An IPA for the Fall season seems appropriate and Finally is here just in time for the 10th anniversary of the Green Dragon Brewers (party on November 9th, 2-6pm!).

Jaggery IPA

by alexthegraham, posted in Release
The tropical flavors of palm sugar (Jaggery) mixed with sweet malt from Gambrinus combine to produce a tangy IPA for a hot afternoon. Magnum hops are used for bittering and a generous portion of fresh Casdade leaf hops for aroma near the end of the boil to produce a fresh citrus flavor to blend with the jaggery and malt. Clear, clean, and tropically refreshing, Jaggery IPA is great on a hot afternoon.
