HISTORY

Imperial Younger's Special Bitter was originally brewed in 2006 to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the Horse Brass Pub in Portland, Oregon. The Horse Brass Pub, owned by the legendary Don Younger, was Rogue's first account in Portland in 1989 and Younger's Special Bitter was developed by Rogue brewmaster John Maier as the house beer for the Horse Brass.
