From Flood To Mud, Clean Up Time At Rogue Farms

With the road to Rogue Farms finally open, we returned this morning to get our first look at the farm in more two weeks of flooding. What a mess!

Heat, Hops and Barley

Mother Nature is turning up the heat as we wrap up the week here at Rogue Farms. But will it affect the crops we grow in Independence and Tygh Valley, Oregon? Sure it does, but not how you may think.

Thanks To All Who DIY

We love it when people get their hands dirty. We also love showing them how.

A Road Trip To Rogue Farms

Join the gang at the Brewing Network as they tour Rogue Farms, meet Brewmaster John Maier, and discover what could be a medieval torture device.

Welcome Back Honeybees

That buzz you hear on the drive into Rogue Farms is the sound of our 7,140,289 honeybees back from their working vacation.

Stringing And Staking Hops, How The Old Timers Did It

As we wrap up stringing and staking our hops at Rogue Farms, we want to share this newsreel video from 1969 showing how they did it in Great Britain.

They went to amazing lengths back then – you’ll get the reference when you see the video.

While the techniques are different from how we do it today at Rogue Farms, we still string and stake our 65,049 bines and 42-acres by hand. We share their pride over a job well done and their love for a pint of good beer.

Stringing And Staking Our Hops

How does a weed become an aromatic ingredient for beer? The secret is string.
