Phred also imports a few interesting Rogue products for sale in Japan. They'll appreciate the lower prices, but more importantly, they'll appreciate the aged character of these heavy ales. I then explained that a distributor buying the beer at discount would only turn around and flog off these beers as cheap curiosities. Since the beers have landed in Japan, they have been stored in Phred's chilly Hokkaido warehouse, a nice stable environment for keeping beer. Descriptions and tasting notes follow.
Mixed cases are also possible - contact Phred directly for details.
When the payment is received, your beer will be shipped Offer good while supplies last, or until May 10, 1999. This strong and complex dark ale is my favorite of the bunch. When I can't decide between the strong hoppiness of a West Coast microbrew and the rich malty sweetness of a Belgian Ale, I'll grab one of these because it's definitely got the malt, and is balanced nicely with some good, bitter hops. If kept in a cool, dark place, this beer should be good for another 18 months. I've never had anything darker or stronger.
