Chateau Wet Hop at Rogue Brewery, Newport

The Chateau Wet Hop was a very mild wet hop - a new offering from Rogue that went over very well with my folks, but left me craving more. A very delicate beer with extremely well balanced flavors.

I followed with a Double Dead Guy, which was sufficient to pound my tastebuds into submission, and seal my evening at the brewery with a smile. This XS is one of the finer brews that Rogue pours, and I highly recommend it to any hopheads that have the opportunity.

Block 15 - Corvallis Brewers Doing Well

The brewers down at Block 15 started out with a space that had a
troubled history, but this small brewery in the heart of
"Marysville" is becoming a fixture downtown with happy hour specials
that please and unique brews that engage the palate and the imagination.

Banana notes from the Hefe, wonderfully balanced ales, and a pungent
one-hop riff on Simcoe were fantastic. The IPA is likely to please
those with a taste for the bitter, but true hopheads should savor a
pint of the one-hop because it is part of a series, and will be gone
fast.

Charlie 1981

The Rogue breweries can be trusted to provide tasty libations for all
palates. Today, along with my usual Crusty and Imperial IPA, I
enjoyed a crisp, dry-hopped St Rogue Red and the subtle malty body of
Charlie 1981. Those of you with a taste for the finer things In life
would approve.

A shout out to Jason & crew from Texas. Keep up the good work!

I showed up fashionably late for the party, and just started enjoying
a Tripel from Scuttlebut Brewing. Great showing as usual at the OBF.
I'll be busy this weekend!

The Scuttlebut is a little under- hopped for my taste.... On to the
IPAs?
