In the spirit of Rogue Brewery, this posting is out of order.
Steve, Ted, and Jenny leaving The Rogue Brewery, which is across the parking lot from our park. Steve, Jenny, and Jenny's mother arrived in their coach in time for dinner in the restaurant on top of the brewery.
Steve is on the path through the brewery that takes customers to the restaurant. We were surprised when we had to wait for a table for 45 minutes on a Monday night. The food, however, is excellent.
More of what we saw as we walked through the brewery. Windows on two sides of the restaurant look down on the marina and the Yaquina Bay Bridge. We didn't get a window view.
To fully understand Rogue Brewery, you pretty much have to understand the Pacific Northwest. This brewery makes a very full-line of excellent craft brews, but I have to wonder how many other brewers would partner with Portland's Voodoo Doughnuts (mentioned in a previous post) to brew and sell ales such as this chocolate, peanut butter and banana ale, and its stablemate, maple bacon ale. Other Rogue brews have such names as "Brutal Ale", "Dad's Little Helper" and Ted's favorite, "Dead Guy Ale".
You enter the brewery and the restaurant through this old vat which proclaims this to be the entrance into the "Rogue Cultural and Interpretive Center and Beerquarium".
You can see here how the brewery refers to itself.
Across the parking lot is an aging house full of oak barrels,
which makes Rogue's new lines of gins, rums, vodkas and whiskeys served here. Their flagship product is "Dead Guy Whiskey".
