The Deadliest Ale
NEWPORT, OR, October 10, 2008 – Rogue Ales and Captain Sig Hansen of the Discovery Channel’s The Deadliest Catch have collaborated on the creation of Captain Sig’s Deadliest Ale. The partnership between Rogue and Captain Sig was spawned when Sig decided that his world class Alaskan King and Opelia crab needed a beer to complement and balance the strength and flavor of his catch.
The Deadliest Ale will be available in serigraphed 22oz. bottles that feature Captain Sig’s boat, the Northwestern. The crest on the boat symbolizes family, heritage, history and has 3 points that represent the three Hansen brothers. Captain Sig’s Deadliest Ale is India Pale Ale meets Red Ale that combines the traditional maltiness of a red ale with the hoppy profile of an IPA.
Captain Sig’s Deadliest Ale will be available in Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Northern California, Maine, Massachusetts, the Gulfs of Florida and Texas, Canada, and Norway.
A portion of the proceeds of Captain Sig’s Deadliest Ale will be given to the Fisherman’s Fund, a non-profit foundation established by the Hansen families that benefits various Northwest charities.
In celebration of Deadliest Ale, Rogue has added a Captain Sig hopoe to the currency of the Rogue Nation. Rogue Nation embassies in San Francisco, Portland, Eugene, Astoria, Newport, and Issaquah, Washington will be serving Captain Sig’s Northwestern Roast coffee.
Captain Sig’s Deadliest Ale is created using 9 ingredients: 2-Row Pale, Munich, Carastan, and Chocolate Malts; Amarillo and Cascade Hops; Pacman Yeast and Free Range Coastal Water.

I wish to meet the Seattle Crew of Discovery Channel’s World’s Deadliest Catch
Gary musters his crew together for a quick photo
It was all in a days work that 11-year-old Gary captained the “Northwestern,” manned the ship’s controls, threw crab pots deep into the waters of Puget Sound and avoided a hostile pirate raid. This first mate was schooled on the tricks of the trade by none other than his hero, Captain Sig of the Discovery Channel’s World’s Deadliest Catch, as his wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation was granted.
Even before the boat adventure began, Gary – who is living with Ewing’s Sarcoma – was giddy with anticipation and he exclaimed “I am so excited for my wish! Today’s going to be the best day of my life!”
Gary’s once-in-a-lifetime experience began in high class style as he arrived in a limo at the Pacific Fisherman Shipyard in Ballard. The excited seaman literally jumped out of the vehicle and began giving bear hugs to his favorite crew members, including the Hansen brothers, Captain Sig and Edgar, before boarding the infamous fishing vessel.
Before the ship departed onto the waters of the Puget Sound, the unthinkable happened! Pirates overtook the vessel—looking for “Cap’n Yost!” As any good captain would, a wide-eyed Gary avoided a clash by befriending the pirates and even learning a sea faring trick or two from these bandits! Captain Sig was so impressed he immediately proclaimed Gary “Captain for the day” amid the applause of friends, family, and supporters!
Gary fit right into the sea faring life, operating the crane lift, scouting out the perfect spot for crabbing, befriending pirates and even handling a crisis with the Fish and Gaming Police. The day proved to be a rip-roaring success for Gary; a day both he and his family will not soon forget! His wish truly did give him hope, strength, and joy!
Special thanks to American Equity Mortgage for sponsoring Gary’s wish.
Move Over Sig.. Make way for Captain Yost!
American Equity Mortgage Seattle partners with Make-A-Wish Foundation® to sponsor wish
Seattle (July 31, 2008) – If 10-year-old Gary Yost of Tacoma is not outdoors casting a line into the closest lake or river, he can most likely be caught indoors glued to the TV – hook, line and sinker – watching his favorite show: the Discovery Channel’s World’s Deadliest Catch.
More details will be posted soon..
