Paddlers Wanted, Free Beer

Oregon's Northwest Rafting Co. is running two special trips this summer for beer enthusiasts,"transforming the campsite into a taproom" with offerings from Oregon's finest microbreweries.

Both trips spend four days on Oregon's wild and scenic Rogue River, winding through 38 miles of scenic canyons and rapids in your choice of craft—oar boat, paddle raft or inflatable kayak ducky.

Beer Ambassadors, or "brewmasters",  from two of America's finest microbreweries, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and Double Mountain Brewery, will accompany the fully-outfitted trips, regaling guests with tales of the beer making process and sharing traditional, seasonal, unfiltered and long-aged craft beers.

"We've created a special jockey box so we can serve ice cold keg beer every day," said NWRC owner and guide Zachary Collier.

Trip dates are July 1-4 and August 12-15. The price is $895/person and includes all outfitting, meals and plenty of specialty beer. Beer lovers will want to get their bottles lined up early, as space is limited to 20 people per trip.
