Rogue Ales Brewery Tour

They say that naught in life is free;
With that, I have to disagree.
In Oregon, you get the views
Of waves and sand and, if you choose,
A tour of something now in vogue -
The brewery where they make Rogue.

Their beers and spirits never fail
To bring some joy, like Dead Guy Ale
And on their tour, you see it made
For zero dollars - what we paid.
They gave us root beer - that's replaced
For 5 bucks with some beer to taste.

Their spirit barrels sure are super,
Crafted by their in-house cooper.
Whiskey, vodka, gin and rum
Are offered; payees sampled some.
And if this wasn't quite enough -
The Beer Museum - filled with stuff.

A smile-inducing part (still free!)
Was brew part to distillery.
We rode there in a little train;
From choo-choos! we could not refrain.
The passersby all waved and we
Responded with a childish glee.

All told, a bargain and such fun
I'd recommend to everyone!

- Much in life is free, Ilene ... we must take time to enjoy ... not always rush - Sounds like a lovely day ... pity it's so far away from me ... to me it had cost a lot of money to travel :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
