    Does the Whale on the label turn white when it's cold enough to drink?

    I cant wait for this to be a thing.

    Three Floyds could brew one with pages from Crowley's Book Of the Law.

    Especially naming it White Whale I can't see this as anything other than a massive trolling of the community on Rogues part. To which I tip my hat. They could have teased it and then let it rest where it belongs, but they're actually following through and making it? That's dedication...

    Rogue is such a joke now. They are not brewers any more, more just a novelty act.

    Although this would be a nice gift for anyone who owns a Yink, I think.

    The first edition WWA peaked awhile ago. 3rd edition is drinking nicely right now, imo.

    Rogue continue to define the word Pretentious. How much does this one cost, $75 for a bomber?

    Rogue seem extremely insecure. Needing to make outrageous beers to get attention. Beer brewed with yeast from a beard, pages from a novel. This is a shame.

    They make some good brews, and they're having some fun - I don't see a problem with it.

    This officially ends the era where even the most staunch supporters can think to defend this brewery. What a fucking abortion.

    Sad. Weird. Unnecessary. Dumb. Wasteful. Won't be buying any.

    Oh cmon guys, it's not like they're charging an arm and a leg for it (which they did for that Maple Bacon blech). It's made to create awareness of a local bookstore and it's fun. I surely hope they cleaned the books before they pulped 'em up though.

    Not gonna defend the beard beer though. lol.

    Next one they will probably infuse the tires from a vintage schwinn bicycle.
