Rogue Wasted Sea Star Purple Pale Ale

Wasted Sea Star was brewed to raise awareness about Sea Star Wasting Syndrome – an epidemic killing millions of sea stars along the Pacific Coast and in aquariums across the United States. It is the largest marine animal disease event in recorded history. Rogue Brewmaster John Maier crafted this beer using purple corn nectar – a revolutionary new ingredient – to pay homage to a native species rapidly disappearing from the Oregon coastline. Like these sea stars, the beer has a light reddish-purple hue. A portion of the proceeds from this beer will go towards Sea Star Wasting Syndrome research conducted by the Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) at Oregon State University.
