Their Story: In 1998, four friends came together to build a brewpub on Lithia Creek in Oregon. Two years later, they opened up another brewpub on the coastal town of Newport at the suggestion of local restauranteur Mo Niemi. Now deceased, Niemi lives today as the face of the brewery's Mo's Ale. To this day, CEO Jack Joyce and the rest of Rogue live by the Manifesto, which challenges consumers to "Dare, Risk, and Dream."
