While up in Oregon I toured the Umpqua Brewing Company (brewpub) in Roseburg. If you like tie-dye t-shirts and 100-year old brick buildings, this is the place for you! They have several excellent beers on tap (all ales). The brewer is very easy to talk with and he showed me the brewery in the basement which literally looks like a hand made operation. He invited our club to enter in the "Small Brewers Big Beer Fest" on Sept. 7/8. Big Beers = Barleywines, Wheatwines, and other heavies. Contact Michael at 541-672-0452. This may be worth visiting in person!
