In Newport, there is the Oregon Aquarium. The country has many new shiny aquariums in big cities like Atlanta and Seattle and the one in Monterey, CA is the most highly regarded.
But none of those fancy fishbowls has a Top 5 brewery almost sharing the same parking lot. On a family trip to the aquarium Mom or Dad could slip away from the seahorse tank for a "bathroom break." Depending on your gait, you could be smelling the hops emanating from the Rogue Brewery within 70-90 seconds. In under 4 minutes, you could have a taster tray of four delicious brews in the Tasting Room above the brewery. Back just in time to catch the tail end of the porpoise exhibit.
Here, meet a beer brewer in his natural habitat:
