Fine food and drink:
That's what's for dinner
Eateries on Olive Street in downtown Eugene offer
unique and exciting variants to hum-drum supper
BY CARRIE PEDERSON
FREELANCE REPORTER
Wining and dining out may be one
of man’s oldest pastimes, yet busi
nesses in downtown Eugene find
cause to approach collective consum
ing in the spirit of adventure. Those
who are over 21 and have embarked
on the worlds of beer and wine know
that not all drinking affairs are creat
ed equal. Before settling for a ho-hum
experience, try these unique tasting
opportunities all located in the hub of
Olive Street.
Nine months ago, the Eugene City
Brewery on 844 Olive St. became the
newest home to Rogue Ales Eugene
City Brewery.
“We have a huge distribution in Eu
gene and this is the sampling ground,”
manager Conrad Deskus said.
The Eugene City Brewery offers 34
flavors of beer, including five brewed
on site: Honey Orange Wheat, Tfack
Town, Alt Beer, Imperial Red and
Pale Ale.
“We use only the best ingredients
and a ton of malts and grains,” Deskus
said. “In some states we had trouble
getting approved because the beer
came back as a food group.”
Rogue not only serves the public
beer-drinking interest, but supports
several community service causes
as well.
“We’re in the process of planning
‘Locks for Love,’ where the kitchen
chef will shave his head in order to
give his hair to cancer patients,”
Deskus said. “We are also working
with the Hash House Harriers, a
drinking group with a running prob
lem, to put together an event to raise
money for the Special Olympics.”
Rogue strives to be a company that
is community minded and unique.
“We have our own standards in pric
ing, bottling and printing,” Deskus
said. “We’re only in competition
with ourselves.”
Rogue beers range in price from
$4.50 to $5 a pint or $3.75 to $4.50 a
glass. Pizza, burgers, sandwiches, sal
ads and appetizers are also offered at a
range between $4 and $12. The Eu
gene City Brewery is open 11 a.m. until
midnight Sunday through Thursday,
and 11 a.m. until 1 or 2 a.m. on Friday
and Saturday. Tfivia buffs shouldn’t
miss Mr. Bill’s Traveling TYivia contest
every Friday at 8 p.m.
The Oregon Wine Warehouse on
943 Olive St. offers a multitude of local
and foreign wines all selected by the
meticulous palate of owner Bob Wolfe.
While wine tasting may not be a tradi
tional drinking venue for college stu
dents, Wolfe aims to create an envi
ronment that accommodates all.
