Description
Rogue Ales was founded in Ashland, Oregon in 1988 by Jack Joyce, Rob Strasser, and Bob Woodell. Construction of the first brewpub began in June 1988 in Ashland. The 10 bbl brew system was set up in the basement with a 60-seat Pub above. The Brewery and Pub opened in October 1988 to moderate success and soon, the company started looking to expand. In February 1989, construction began on the Bay Front Brew Pub in Newport, Oregon; it opened in May1989. Rogue now has four brewpub locations in Oregon: Newport, Astoria, Portland and Independence, and a fifth at the Rogue Nation World Headquarters in Newport.

Amber with a frothy, white head. Passion fruit and papaya with caramel undertones. Taste is bitter with an acrid finish, balanced in part by a touch of caramel on the tongue. Too boozy for my taste, and not entirely disguised. Otherwise, decent, if intense. Looks like it’ll be my last tick from Rogue though. I did enjoy their beers back in the day.
