94 Rating – Rogue Ales & Spirits – 8 Hop IPA
BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
After making 7 Hop, we thought, "Why stop at 7? Why not use every hop we grow in the rich Willamette Valley soil at Rogue Farms to make what we call the boss of the Hop Family?" So we did.
BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
The strong malt backbone that you can sink your teeth into and the big hop punch that follows.
BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
The number of hop varietals in the beer. The bottle uses the hops to form the number 8 -- it also serves as a field guide-style drawing; if you were to take the bottle out to the hopyard with you in the summer, you could easily identify each hop in your beer.
BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Brash, burly, imperial, unforgettable.
BC: What's a good food pairing for this beer?
Veggie burger with Rogue blue cheese.
