  4 Stars for the beer and the hops, 1 star for the awkward and snarky service mixed with a so-so venue. Rogue makes great beer, no doubt about it, the Dirtoir Black Lager is amazing. They also have some whiskies and a vodka you can try. Outdoor seating with cornhole and views of the hop fields are a major plus for summertime visitors.Our "bartender" gave us classic Pacific Northwest service, which means we left feeling like we dealt with a jerk who wasn't openly hostile. My advice to Rogue is to train your employees to think carefully about what they say, and consider the expectations your clients have. Our blondish/ginger bartender needs to know we don't care if he thinks we are "at his bar", especially when that bar is a scuzzy double-wide masquerading as a tasting room.Spruce up the service and the dive you serve drinks in and people would really have something to celebrate Rogue.

  We went to the Rogue Farms Micro Hopyard while visiting relatives in Oregon for Thanksgiving. It was a little hard to find, but well worth the visit. Rogue makes a surprising amount of different beers and all with great and interesting labels. We went as a big group and all bought different beers, so we could taste a lot of them, but we need to go back and taste more!! They also give out beer for tasting. And they had a nice collection of shirts with some of their labels on them from which I had a hard time choosing.

  What a fun place to spend an afternoon! Great food, great drinks, lots of fun activities! A very 'comfortable' feel. We will definitely be going back... often!

  First things first, this was a winter visit to the farms and I was very impressed; I can only imagine what it is like in summer or during harvest time. Rogue Farms embodies some of the best things about Rogue, the creative, do it yourself attitude mixed with people who know how to enjoy themselves. Set among the hop fields (and pumpkin patches), which again, being winter, didn't have anything going on, but I was still impressed. Tours are offered at 3pm on weekends (which we just missed). There were farm buildings, a farmhouse that people can stay at, wandering chickens, and of course, a tasting room. You can take your Rogue beer out to the yard for some bocce ball, a giant Scrabble board, and other implements of fun. Expect to spend at least an afternoon here.

  Rogue Farms is a great place to eat and play outside. I would caution against staying at the farmhouse though. When some of the people staying there came early (15 min) they were told by Natasha they were too early. So as we all arrived, we had to stand waiting in the parking lot till exactly 3:00. Then she opened the door and said "I will take only the person paying the bill, the rest of you can wait out here". Then when that person was filling out paperwork, she was asked if she wanted to buy wine. Our person said she had some from a local winery. Natasha said "well, I hope you don't show the same disregard for the rest of our rules". That was her tone the entire stay. Also, if you are at the house, there are no boundaries for other visitors. People were constantly walking on the deck and kids played in the play structure. We definitely got the feeling they did not want that part of the operation.

  Visited here the 3rd week of September and just missed the last of their hop harvest. They offer a daily tour of the hop farm that takes you through the entire process. The beautiful aroma of freshly packaged hops was still in the air and it was intoxicating!Independence is a very small town, this is the only thing for many miles. There is a guest house here that you can book to stay. Very relaxed atmosphere. There is a tasting room here, a food truck with hop-salted fries, and picnic tables and lawn games. It was fun to do a "horizontal tasting" of 3 different single-hop pale ales. They do have a nano brewery on site that brews only in spring and fall. The brewer Josh told us we were about a week too soon to try his harvest wet hop ale, the first brew of the season. He said that there will be more hop harvest ales coming through Oct & Nov.If you're in the Portland area this is a fun day trip, about 1.5 hr drive. Best time to visit is 1st 2 weeks of Sept to witness (and smell!) harvest, or early Oct to catch some of the house-made beers.

  The Rogue Hopyard is a hidden gem of the Willamette Valley. I was thrilled to find out that Rogue had an outpost nearer to me than the Oregon Coast or Portland. DRINKS: They usually have 8-10 beers on tap, and many of them are brewed on site (as opposed to the Newport brewery) and cannot be found anywhere else. A pint will set you back about $5 (less if you're a Rogue Nation member), and they also carry a lot of bottled Rogue to take home. 9/10. FOOD: This is a significant weakness of the Hopyard; the food menu is extremely limited. As far as substantial pub grub goes, the best you can do is a "Kobe Beef" hot dog or three hamburger sliders. Boring, bland, and expensive. And Ruffles chips, Rogue? Come on -- you can give us Kettle Chips for an $8 hot dog. Eat before you get here and get the tortilla chips and salsa to snack on there. 2/10. ATMOSPHERE: Going to the Hopyard on a warm and sunny day is one of my favorite ways to spend a summer evening. Order your beers and sit out in the sun in one of the most gorgeous places in the Valley. Take a tour. Play the lawn games. (they have horseshoes, and you simply must play "Cornhole".) And of course, if you have a dog, bring it with you! Rogue is one of the most pet friendly businesses ever. CONCLUSION (TLDR Version): If you are a beer lover, go here, especially if you're a Rogue connoisseur. Don't bother if it's rainy, but if it's warm and sunny, you're going to have a great time. (just don't plan on eating there!)

  The Rogue Farms Hopyard offers overnight accomodations in a 5 bdrm., 2 bath farm house. We found everything at the house in working condition however, we found it lacking in certain kitchen utensils. The house is also in bad need of a thorough cleaning and updating.It is a stone's throw to the beer on tap at the bar. The bar itself could use a friendlier atmosphere and bar tender. We were greeted with slow, rude service. This was our first visit to the hopyard. We will go back to enjoy the beer but, will wait until the summer when we can enjoy our beer outside in the sun on the grounds of the farm.

  We did a 20 mile bike ride and ended here. Awesome location, great beer on tap and a fun food cart. They have corn hole set up and tons of outdoor picnic tables. An ideal place to spend a weekend afternoon or host an event.

  This was an area of Oregon where the Hop industry started and this is one of the few hop yards left. A wide selection of draft beer, ale, made by Rogue Brewery, nice outside beer garden and some good snacks with the beers.
