From a laundry company in the 1920s to a Micro-Pub in 1997, the concrete building on Water Street has a diverse history. In 1988 the Rogue Brewery & Public House brewed its first Shakespeare Stout, which started it on the way to national recognition.

The brewery was hit by a severe flood New Year’s 1996 when

Ashland creek rose an estimated eight to twelve feet.

After the devastation, the brewery was rebuilt to become a multi-tap micro-pub and restaurant. In June of that year, during the remodel, the pub suffered a setback when flames swept through the upstairs business. The pub was christened “Hell or High-water” by local residents, and the motto stuck. July 4, 1997 the Siskiyou Pub opened, and each year there is an anniversary celebration.

The high water mark can be seen inside the pub, left of the ramp door. Just outside the door stands the grain silo symbolizing the pub’s brewing history.

We carry several locally brewed beers. Caldera Brewing Co. of Ashland, Walk-About Brewing Co. brewed in the outback of Central Point, and Rogue Ales of Newport.
