Don't Eat the Yellow Snow…Drink It!
The idea of Yellow Snow in your mouth might make you want to gag. In 1974 Frank Zappa warned us “Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow.” Now, it is recommended you drink one kind of yellow snow–Rogue’s winter IPA release. Brewed exclusively with high-alpha Amarillo hops, Rogue’s Yellow Snow IPA is a florally and fruitily hopped brew. The beer was created in 2000 for the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. Yellow Snow is Rogue’s tribute to winter sports everywhere—downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross country, ice hockey, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and even curling. According to the brewery, it will be available November 1st in select states where mountains and snow can be found. At 15 degrees Plato, it seems that Utes might not be able to buy this brew on the slopes but you can. It’s out now! Mmmm Yellow Snow!
