Rogue Ales Releases Honey Kolsch and Marionberry Braggot

In time for spring Rogue Ales has released its Honey Kolsch and Marrionberry Braggot that were both made from Rogue Farms raised honey from its 7,140,289 honeybees.

Its these 7 million plus bees that Rogue Farms raises on its farm in Independence, Oregon that goes into making both of these two beverages. Rogue Farms honeybees feed on nectar from marionberry, cherry, pumpkin, jalapeño and wildflower blossoms, creating a honey that captures the terroir of the Rogue’s farm. It’s a symbiotic relationship between the bees and the farm; pollinating improves the quality and productivity of the crops, while Rogue Farms provides a healthy environment for the bees.

“Pollinators are not only an essential part of our farm but also crucial to the whole copmany – they impact a quarter of our products,” stated Rogue Ales President Brett Joyce in a news release. “Bees take care of us, so we take care of them.”
