VW Campers please join Julie and I "Under the Bridge" at the original Rogue
Brewery for good company, good ol' VW campers, and enough rogue to possibly
sink a small ship in the pacific ocean. This is a good day to prepare for a
very, very good new year. We hope to see many familiar faces of course.
Including brewmasters from such establishments as Hood Rivers "Full Sail
Brewery."

See the link to the Brewery's webpage above for directions.
