Rogue Brews “Viktory Ale” For Portland State University 2015 Grads

Portland State University (PSU) graduates will receive congratulations from more than just family and friends at commencement on June 14th. Rogue Ales, headquartered on the Oregon coast in Newport, will mark the occasion with a custom beer dedicated to the 5,800 graduates of the class of 2015.

“PSU students have been a vital part of our Portland community; as friends, neighbors and customers. They have spent a lot of time doing homework and studying for exams at Rogue Hall, we’re virtually on the campus map,” said Rogue President Brett Joyce. “We wanted to say congratulations with a beer just for them. They certainly earned it.”

“Ultimately, PSU exists to serve Oregonians and contributes to the economic vitality of the state by providing jobs today and training the workforce of tomorrow,” said Wim Wiewel, president of PSU. “Rogue recognizes the importance of higher education in making our community a better place to live and work. And they make darn good beer.”

Viktory Ale, serigraphed with the image of PSU’s mascot, celebrates Rogue’s and PSU’s commitment to think local, buy local and learn local. Crafted with proprietary ingredients grown at Rogue Farms in Oregon, Viktory Ale is deep honey in color with malty aromas, fruity notes and a long, spicy finish.

Viktory Ale will be available two weeks prior to finals and just after the last pangs of senioritis. The Dare, Risk, Dream Graduation party for Viktory Ale will be held at Rogue Hall on May 21st from 5-7 pm. This ale will be for sale at Rogue Pubs and the PSU Bookstore.
