Rogue Ales is celebrating all 7,140,289 of their honeybees with the release of two new products, Honey Kolsch and Marionberry Braggot. Both are made with honey foraged from Rogue Farms spring nectar sources including marionberry, cherry, jalapeño, cucumber, pumpkins and wildflower blossoms. This spring’s honey harvest brought its own unique flavor, and it is highlighted in both beer and braggot.

On a typical day, each Rogue Farms honeybee visits up to 1,500 flowers, gathering nectar and pollinating blossoms. Bees are a vital player in the pollination of Rogue’s proprietary palette of ingredients, as well as a vital player in maintaining the health of the food supply through their pollination of approximately one-third of the foods we eat.

“We wouldn’t be farmers without bees,” said Rogue Ales President Brett Joyce. “Pollinating everything from our marionberries to our pumpkins, and collecting nectar for our honey, our bees are the life force of Rogue Farms.”

Honey Kolsch and Marionberry Braggot will be available this June. Honey Kolsch was awarded the 2015 Best in Show at the National Honey Board’s Honey Beer Competition and will be available in 22 oz serigraphed bottles, in 12 oz bottles and on draft. Marionberry Braggot comes in 750 ml painted bottles and on draft. More information about Growing the Revolution is available here.
