Southern Oregon Brewing releases first beers
November 08, 2007, from Medford Mail Tribune
Southern Oregon Brewing Co. has released its first beers and has opened a tap room for public tasting and sales at its brew house. A golden ale and a porter are on tap.
Tap room hours are 4 to 10 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The tap room is at 1922 United Way in Medford, behind Lava Lanes. Tasters at the 24-foot bar and tables can view brewery activity through two large plate-glass windows.
Owner Tom Hammond and brewer Anders Johansen, whose resume includes stints with Pyramid and Deschutes breweries, are brewing once a week. Southern Oregon Brewing's 20-barrel brew house is capable of producing 620 gallons per batch.
Southern Oregon Brewing's phone number is 776-9898.
*I'm really excited about this. This area needs more local brewpubs. The building looks great and I hope to get a chance to visit them soon!
