I like it!

It would even make me break my rule of no driving if it doesnt come to my local store.

Welcome news. Maybe we'll see the regular Dead Guy pop up in a few more stores as well.

This is fantastic news. Rogue is not one of my favourite breweries but they are solid and I look forward to this release.

Only DDC was. They've actually all been different agents.

Cool... I use to drink a lot of the Brutal Bitter whenever the LCBO had it.

In '08 I thought the double dead guy was closer to the BB than the regular dead guy, but it's had a few revisions...

2008 Commercial info:
"Malts: 2-row Pale, Munich, C15. Hops. Cascade for boil (because John was out pf Perle) and Crystal for aroma (because John was out of Sterling ...) IBU's approx 50-60. 19.8 Plato Original Gravity, 4.9 Plato Terminal Gravity."

BeerAdvocate has it listed as:

"7 Ingredients:
Malts: 2-Row, Munich and C15.
Hops: Cascade.
Yeast & Water: Rogue's Pacman Yeast and Free Range Coastal Water.
20º PLATO
60 IBU
78 AA
25º Lovibond"

Now Rogue says:

"7 Ingredients:
Malts: C15, Rogue Micro Barley Farm Dare & Risk Malts.
Hops: Crystal & Rogue Micro Hopyard Rebel Hops
Yeast & Water: Rogue's Pacman Yeast and Free Range Coastal Water.

Specs:
20º PLATO
60 IBU
78 AA
25º Lovibond"

I don't know who Rogue's agent is, but if I told you, I'd just be pulling your leg anyway. Cause I pull legs.
