We promise there wasn’t any forethought that went into a Friday the 13th edition of Beer of the Week—including a beer that arrived in a coffin. But it did, and it was good, so here it is. And if that beer isn’t precisely what you’re looking for, we also have sours, ales, IPAs, and a five-time medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival.
If you love beer, you’re in the right place—at the right time. With almost 9,000 breweries in the United States alone, there are more craft beer varieties, styles, and flavors than ever. And, every day, experimentation and innovation are taking beer in new directions. To keep track of what’s brewing, we’re taste-testing and calling out some of the best beers you can find. If you want to pick up something special to drink, check out our favorite beers available now.
Rogue Dead Guy IPA
Style: IPA
When a beer sample arrives in a mini-coffin covered in dirt (well, potting soil), it’s going to get your attention. To top it off, the accompanying marketing materials testify, “IPAs are officially Dead.” Rogue is not, however, announcing the demise of IPAs, but its introduction of Dead Guy IPA to the Dead Guy Ale family. A slightly hazy dark gold, Dead Guy IPA has aromas of tropical and citrus hops as well as a little pine thrown in for good measure. Drinking it, you get mouthwateringly hoppy flavors of grapefruit pith, citrus, and pine. The taste alone will grab your attention—but a miniature coffin always helps.
ABV: 7.0%
Availability: Year round
