The original rogue, Jack Joyce, who founded Oregon Brewing — better known today as Rogue — celebrates his 69th birthday today. Join me in wishing Jack a very happy birthday.

Happy Birthday Jack….
What’s wiith the Oregon weather that you’ve brought us this week? It’s not going to help your tan lines. Wherever you are in Hawaii…enjoy a pint and toast yourself and everything you’ve done for the industry and beer drinkers alike.

Happy Birthday, Jack.
Congratulations on the many great beers and good spirits you’ve raised over the years! Here’s to many more. (As for today, just put your feet up and say “And it was good.”)
Cheers and Happy Holidays,

Before they made Jack they broke the mold. Jack is one of a kind and it’s a good thing he’s on our side. He introduced me to a guy named Don Younger many years ago and I knew I had a future getting old.
Many more, Jack.
Jack’s a great man!! Met him several times at Barleywine Fest at the TORONADO.
Well Jack you are not getting older but better! It has been a pleasure and an experience working with you over the last 20 years. You are one of a kind. So happy birthday,
Hope you are having fun in Hawaii.
