As some of you may remember, Animated Meat first came to life in 2008 as a way to document some sights that managed to slip through the cracks of most popular travel websites. You may also remember that the original website was built on Apple's now defunct iWeb. From there, it migrated over to WordPress where it met an untimely demise at the hands of Russian hackers. Many of those old, pre-2012 entries have found a new home here in the Before the Now section. I would consider these posts as my starting place as a writer, probably comparable to a musician's first demo tapes. They are very rough, but I took them all seriously and wrote each one with passion. While I would like to believe that I have matured in my abilities as a writer, it is my hope that I carry this same blind passion into all of my new efforts.

Rogue Public House - Originally Published 2008

April 27, 2019

If you don’t know, Oregon’s own Rogue Brewery makes some pretty fine beers. One of my personal go-tos is Dead Guy Ale.

They beauty of the Rogue Public House is you can get some of that nice beer paired with well prepared food. As the menu shows, this is substantial pub grub. Don’t plan on being to ambitious after eating here. After a little walk around the pier, the only thing we were good for was sleep.

Even if beer holds no appeal to you, the Pub is worth a stop. This place is literally right on the water.Actually, it’s right in the middle of the water. The views go well with the food.If you drink beer, be careful.They have a full selection of T-shirts. Do you really need a beer t-shirt?
