One of our favorite American craft breweries here at the Perfectly Happy Man is the one and only Rogue Ales. We love the consistent high quality brews that pour forth from their kegs and bombers. While there are literally thousands of craft breweries across the country, Rogue remains in the top tier of breweries, no matter who you’re talking to: they are respected by all.
Much of the success of Rogue Ales can be traced to their bearded Brewmaster, John Maier. This man is beloved by every Rogue fanatic. The Rogue website goes on to say … The Alaskan Brewery in Juneau hired John as an Assistant Brewmaster in March of 1987. He left in May of 1989. John was there for the very first brew at the Rogue Ales Brewery in Newport, Oregon. He has since brewed over 100,000 pints of Rogue Ale and his ales have won over 500+ awards for taste and excellence.
We’d like to say Thank You to John for his hard work and for running an superb operation out there in Oregon. Cheers, Bearded One!
