We went off to the Oregon coast to Newport and the Rogue Brewery. This is one of our favorite brewers of beers. We arrived in Newport just in time for their 4pm brewery tour. Rogue is no longer considered a "micro-brew". they produce too much beer. They are considered a "macro-brew". We saw several flavors that we haven't seen before. Their most popular beers are "Dead Guy Ale", a tasty Maibock beer and "Brutal Bitter", a cross between an IPA and ESB. We were impressed with Rogue and how they recycle. Much of their waste barley grains after making beer is sent to farmers that use it as animal feed. They have also recycled used dairy pasteurization tanks from a bankrupt dairy for fermenting beer. They can have 50 different beers fermenting at one time.  After the tour, we were in the gift shop looking at some t-shirts ad mentioned to the sales girl we were staying at Rogue's B&B (Bed and Beer). he asked if we had checked in yet (No, we haven't) and gave us a Rogue discount card! This gives us 10% off the t-shirts we are buying and 10% off the room! Cool!
