We just had a chance to tour the brewery in Newport OR, awesome place and awesome beer. We brought back 2 cases of beer! (we're from cali)

You'll find great brew at our SF location too if you venture into the Bay Area. Hope you'll swing by next time you come up. We always have something special on tap here. Cheers!

It was our pleasure. I hope you'll share your good fortune with your friends. Enjoy!

Just got back from newport and i gotta say the beers were delicious. Picked up the Hazlenut brown, Santas P.R., younsman special bitter, and the eugene 100 meter ale. Cant wait to drink them.

PS...I have also had the Juniper Pale Ale. Which i thought was pretty good for a pale ale. But not that much flavor, kinda bland. Compared to the sweetness of the Dead Guy and the nuttiness of the Nectar. And all the other flavors that explode within your taste buds.

[mesuhlikemusic]

Thanks Rogue. Now i can't drink anything else. Can't go back to the usual. I have only had the Dead Guy and the Brown Hazelnut Nectar, and they are by far the best beers i have had. Props to you guys. However, they are so good, i think i am addicted. I can't get addicted to any other beer, so, i guess that's saying something.. Oregon FTW!!! ....This Fosters i have SUCKS! I have been trying out beers i haven't tried. I just wish i went and bought a Dead Guy. (The only Rogue i can buy in my town)

As an Aspiring brewer, seeing John Maier doing all this hard work after 18 years inspires me more than any brewing book could. My first Rogue was a Mocha Porter and its still one of my favorites, if not my favorite porter.

I went down to the brewery, got to meet John M, as a homebrewer it was the holy grail!! Thanks John Maier!! Keep on brewin!
