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.

This is a beer that needs a good food pairing. And I found it at Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill in Manhattan. The nuevo southwestern cusiine blended perfectly with what is basically a pale ale dominated by chipotle. Which works, in context.

Bottled. Poured dark w/mild head. Aroma is chocolate and malts. Very well balanced. I didn’t taste the hops but I found it to be very good and not super heavy. Well done.

Draught. Yellow, some grass etc. I guess this is how Rogue would make a harp if it tried. Kind of boring.
