The Rural Brewer: 1188 Brewing

If there's one thing the 2014 World Beer Cup taught us it's that you never know where the next great beer is going to come from and that in this era where some folks like to misuse the word "saturation" the new kids are all right. I can't use the Chetco Brewery as a focus for The Rural Brewer because even though Brookings is the farthest town with a brewery from Portland, it's still well-traveled and home to even a second brewery, Tight Lines. But way out in John Day, on the drive between already distant Baker City and equally remote Prineville.
