    For the sheer absurdity appreciation of Rogue's "Don't give a fukc doin it anyway" attitude I would try this

    Yeah, it's going to be Dead Guy or American Amber Ale repackaged.

    IMO this is right up there with Coor's blue mountains. Why make good beer when you can pull stupid marketing ideas instead?

    Better to be brewed with pages from the book rather than actual Moby Dick.

    I've never been one for books. I'll wait for the movie version to come out.

    I checked 14 times to make sure it wasn't April 1st. They should have saved this for then. When Marketing exceeds the quality of the product, things like this happen.

    If it were the Great Gatsby I'd give it a shot, but as is I'll pass.

    All they had to do is brew a barleywine, ice distill it, forget about it, and bottle like 12 of them in a few years. Instant White Whale

    Haha I gotta say... this is awesome.

    Gimmicky? Yes. But very creative. I'd love to try some Dogfish beer brewed with Emerson.

    ...makes me wonder what they're planning for the next batch of Shakespeare Stout.

    To be or not to be...

    Not to be...getting any of my money ever again. Unless, of course, they age it in a bourbon barrel.
