It's called ROGUE brewery. Rogue is okay. I don't like Dead Guy. How to get it cheaper?... Road trip to Oregon!

illegal way you'll need:

1.) a shotgun

2.) a trip to the nearest store selling it

I feel Rogue is one of the top Craft Breweries in America. It's up there with Dogfish Head, Stone Brewery, and some others with a reputation for high quality ales.
When it comes to price, if you're looking for prices that are comparable to the "big 3" (Bud, Miller, Coors), you'll be looking for a long time.
It's all about quality vs. quantity.
Personally, I don't look at craft brews as being expensive, I look at mainstream brews as being cheap.
Dead Guy is one of their "staple" (popular) beers. While it is quite tasty in its own right, if your looking for top end Rogue ales, try:

Old Crustacean Barleywine
ImageAt 11.5% ABV, it'll keep you warm on a cold winter night. :twisted: But once again, it'll cost you (~$13 for a 750ml bottle).
or...
Mocha Porter
ImageThis one will run about the same price as Dead Guy. It also happens to be John Maier's (the owner/brewmaster of Rogue) favorite brew. At 5.1% it won't put you away like the Old Crustacean, but it'll still keep you warm after a few of them.

If you're in PA, I'd recommend looking for some Dogfish Head. The brewery is in Delaware, so I would assume you should find it no problem.
Their 60 minute IPA (~6%) is award winning; as is their 90 minute IPA (9%).
Sam Calagione (owner/brewer) did some research and found a recipe for a brew found in King Midas' tomb.
Check it out:
Midas Touch http://www.dogfish.com/brewings/Year_Ro ... /index.htm
"This recipe is the actual oldest-known fermented beverage in the world! Our recipe showcases the known ingredients of barley, white Muscat grapes, honey & saffron found in the drinking vessels in King Midas' tomb! Somewhere between a beer, wine and mead, this smooth, dry ale will please with Chardonnay or I.P.A. drinker alike.
