You say that like it's a problem.

Badger: the problem with the Sriracha stout isn't that it's literally the worst beer, but that Rogue is an insanely annoying brewery that's all faux-revolutionary gimmickry and not really any sort of quality.  Basically the brewing equivalent of a Che t-shirt.  This just happens to be their latest and most grating gimmick.

I had the misfortune of trying one of their donut beers last year and it really was undrinkably bad.  Maybe that would have been a better example.

Westmalle Tripel
Surly Furious

Those are my two favorite beers, but I'm not a snob about beer.  I'll drink a Yuengling or a PBR.

I'll take your word on the Sriracha Stout, but gotta adamently disagree about Rogue in general. Their "classic" beers like the Nut Brown, Shakespeare Stout, Mocha Porter, etc, etc, are all classic, and about as high quality a brew as they come.

Sure their recent stuff has been kinda gimicky, but I give them props for pushing the envelope, especially when they have so many prime brews to fall back on if they wanted to stay in a rut.
