Press Release:

(Newport, OR) – In March of 2012, Rogue Ales began keeping bees at Rogue Farms in Independence, Oregon. An additional 1.6471 million honeybees were added to the Farm in May of this year, bringing the total number of Rogue Farms Honeybees to 1.98652 million. To accommodate the growing bee families we handcrafted and placed mother-in-law units on the top of each hive for additional honey storage.

Rogue Farms Hopyard Honey is a true taste of the Wigrich Appellation terroir. The honey is extracted by hand, filtered and driven 77 miles to our brewery in Newport where Rogue Brewmaster John Maier uses it to brew Rogue Farms Honey Kolsch.

Rogue Farms Honey Kolsch is now available nationally as of June 1.
