In Southern Oregon, local breweries provide opportunities for aficionados of certain adult beverages (those with a frothy head) to observe their favorite libations being created, and to sample the final product. Beer and ale, lovingly crafted from natural ingredients, often local and/ or organic, are available to be enjoyed. The area's skilled artisans have succeeded in capturing lightning in a bottle for lucky locals and visitors to take home with them. Be sure to call ahead for tasting hours and the times of tours, or to make reservations where tours are by appointment only. It's fun, educational and tasty!
