NEWPORT, OR – Join us on the beautiful Yaquina Bay, May 16-17 for the 8th annual Brewer’s Memorial Ale Fest, the largest dog-beer festival in the world.

Brewer’s Memorial Ale Fest honors the memory of Brewer, the beloved black lab of Rogue Brewmaster John Maier who passed away in April 2006. Brewer grew up inside the Rogue Brewery and rose through the ranks to become Chairman of the Board, a title he still holds today.

Held inside the Rogue Brewery, the festival includes 50+ microbrews and dog inspired entertainment like: dog Olympics, dog dancing, dog musical chairs, Brewer look-a-like contests and dog washes. There are also door prizes, local food, live music, and arts & crafts.

This year’s participating breweries include: Track Town, Coalition, Green Dragon Brew Crew, Three Mugs, Two Kilts, Backwoods, Fort George, Columbia River, Rusty Truck, Double Mountain, Newport Brewing Company, Buckman Botanical, Twisted Snout, Sea Dog, Wolf Tree, Lagunitas, Left Coast, Leavenworth, Mt. Hood, Dogfish, Silver Moon, Brew Dog, Old Town, Humboldt, and Rogue Ales.

Musical acts will include: The Purple Cats, CRC Reunion, Froggy and the Blues Evolution, Bump Kitchen, and Ty Curtis. Both evenings will conclude with a toast to Brewer.
