The Rural Brewer, Pt II: Wolf Tree Brewery

When Wolf Tree Brewery debuted on the October OLCC report of taxable barrels, with 0.4 barrels it entered as least productive brewery. Hardly one of the state's big dogs. But perhaps everyone should watch their backs since owner/brewer/distributor Joe Hitselberger, a forester with the Oregon Department of Forestry, told me that, "a wolf tree is a term used to describe the biggest tree in the forest."
