A Rogue Ale press release:
A limited release fresh-hop beer, Independence Hop Ale was brewed in two 50-barrel batches, following the harvest cycle of the hops. The first batch was brewed with 500 pounds of fresh, unkilned Centennial hops. The second was brewed a week later with 750 pounds of wet Cascade hops picked, stuffed into sacks, driven 77 miles to Newport and tossed in the brew kettle before they had a chance to start drying. After fermentation, the two batches were blended together. The result is a light copper-colored, unfiltered ale marrying the two distinctive hop characters of each batch.Independence Hop Ale is brewed with 8 ingredients: Two-row, Munich, Caramel Wheat and Carafoam malts, fresh, unkilned Centennial and Cascade hops, proprietary Pacman yeast and free range coastal water.
I would like to point out the part in "bold" print. I'm all about giving one's self to the ale gods, but this takes it to a whole new level.
As a Rogue Nation member in good standing, I am a little upset that I was not called up to be the designated driver.

Designated driver or designated drinker?

Good question, Since I'm drinking the Rogue Rum now, I quess that means that the Hops would be safe with me and make me the perfect choice.
