Rogue Beard Beer is Made From Brewmaster John Maier's Beard Yeast

You read the title correctly: Rogue Beard Beer is created using yeast extracted from the company's brewmaster John Maier's beard. If you aren't completely grossed out by this notion, then this is the time to explain that a variety of strange, gross and obscure kinds of yeast have been used throughout the years to create exotic beers, so there's no need to squirm at the thought.

Although it might seem like a beverage drank for a dare, Rogue Beard Beer is actually being boasted by the company as one of it's greatest beers yet, as it is created using a natural source of yeast from Maier who has been the brewmaster since 1983 and has oversaw at least 15,000 brews.
