Rogue Portland Public House
Brewpub
in Portland,
Oregon,
United States 🇺🇸
Owned by
Rogue Ales & Spirits
Established in 2008
Rogue Pilot Brewery crafts experimental Rogue brews unique from those you might find at the brewery headquarters in Newport, Ore. Head Brewer Danny Connors will continue operating the 15 barrel system in the back of the pub to innovate with new styles and flavors. The concoctions brewed by both Danny and the Green Dragon Brew Crew (working on a smaller 1 barrel system) will be on tap at Rogue Eastside Pub & Pilot Brewery as well.
Admin Note: Rogue purchased The Green Dragon in 2008. The Green Dragon Brew Crew / Green Dragon Brewing beers have their own entry contract brewed at Rogue Eastside.

Tap at Rogue Public House - deep black pour - after having two of their other beers, which were terrible, I was dreading this - this turned out to be fairly decent (by comparison) - fairly creamy in the mouth - medium dry, with some moderately bitter black malt - cherry is mellow and earthy (whole fruit, skin, pit) - a bit of bittersweet chocolate - decent brew.

Tap at Rogue Public House - tastes like a dry brown ale with sweet potato added - some dry nuttiness, tobacco, leafy bitterness - sweet potato is muted, but enough to add an earthy, root plant vegetable note that is a bit of putting - I have one more of their beers in my flight and I am now dreading it.

Draught. Would this have been even better as two separate beers? I don’t know. Honey and malt aroma. Flavour is rather sweet, but nowhere near cloying. Medium bodied. Does not go with spicy food.

Draught. Interesting beer. The barman and a customer swore mighty oaths it was a sour. It had some sour cherry aroma, and sour cherry flavour, but also had a full raisiness and fruitiness like a quadrupel. Well worth trying out.

Draught. Dark with off white head. Aroma is a mix of malt and rope. Big body, again more hemp. Tasted more like dagga than beer. Pleasant finish

Cloudy orange pour with medium white head. Citrusy aroma, some pine. Full bodied, hoppy with enough malt. Hop finish. AFAIK this is a return of their very first beer.

Wonderful bier from Green Dragon. Their brewmaster decided to make an alt. Black with thick white head. Aroma is sweet malt. Full bodied malty flavour with enough hop to keep in balance. Thirst quenching. Hurry before it’s gone.

Draught at brewpub. Interesting balance of styles. This was red with two toned red and off white head. Balanced malt and hop aroma. Had that malt depth, that in my admittedly limited experience of zwickels, I expect of the style. Light in alcohol, like a kolsch. Come get it it quickly, their beers come and go quickly.

Draught. Pours dark clear brown with off white head. Much lacing. Sweetish aroma with malt and grain. Caramel and malt with chocolate notes flavour, full bodied. Lightly bitter finish.

Draught. Poured black with medium to thich beige head. Aroma of toast, roast malt and chocolate. Full bodied flavour, with a bit of alcohol. (the server did not know the percentage, but said it was over nine.) Chocolatey finish, without being cloying.
