Details: “The most Oregon of all Rogue Farms beers, Marionberry Sour, hits shelves for the first time this July. Marionberry Sour is a vibrant violet-hued sour ale made with prickless marionberries that bring a taste of the Willamette Valley with every sip. Marionberry Sour is made with a prickless variety grown on Rogue Farms that is easier to hand-pick for brewing. Marionberry Sour is available on draft now at all Rogue pubs and will be available in 6-pack 12 ounce bottles in July.”
