'Rogue Dead Guy Ale 'is a German Maibock-style beer with a strong flavor that could kill your taste buds (not literally, of course).

The beer got its name from a group of Deadheads celebrating the Mayan Day of the Dead. After winning several [beer-tasting awards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hobgoblin-amber), proving its good taste, 'Rogue Dead Guy Ale' proved to be a great beer to add to the Mayan Day of the Dead celebrations. Check out the awesome [skeleton design of its label](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-skeleton-bottle) in the featured gallery.
