Hunker Down with Rogue Ales & Spirits Five New Stouts This Winter

While hunkering down this winter Rogue Ales & Spirits has you covered with five satisfying stouts. These five stouts have been packaged to keep you nice and toasty as we enter the heart of winter. Joining the lineup in 16oz cans are Shakespeare Stout Nitro, Chocolate Stout Nitro, and Double Chocolate Stout while Rolling Thunder Imperial Stout and Rolling Thunder Imperial Chipotle Stout are packaged in 500mL bottles.

“Don’t get us wrong, stout season is year-round for many of us, but we just love cozying up with some of our favorite dark, roasty beers this time of year,” says Amanda Zessin, Rogue Communications Director, in a statement. “This winter, we’re bringing back fan-favorites with a unique twist and new packaging. Enjoy these satisfying stouts on a cold night at home by the fire, or crack one open for a special occasion like Valentine’s Day with your loved one.”

These stout releases are in sharp new packaging with attractive labels to lure you in from the wet weather for a big, dark stout! We are excited to see Shakespeare Stout Nitro and Chocolate Stout Nitro added to cans for that creaminess at home while we manage our way through the pandemic. Plus, the perfect beer for Valentine’s Day, Double Chocolate Stout, returns as well as a couple barrel-aged offerings.
