Always easy to blame the economy on a restaurants closing. The fact is that many restaurants thrive in a down economy if they have the right business plan. I'm not saying that GD didn't I'm just saying it's not right to make Rogue the bad guy in this. They brew fine diversified beers, give back to the community here in PDX, on the coast and in Eugene etc. They also do a very good job featuring other great breweries beers and often dedicate the majority of there taps to great craft American beers they admire as well. So let's see what the Rogue intends to do with the GD before we start calling this a negative thing. After all if Rogue keeps the GD open that will save jobs and keep the beer economy thriving here in PDX. Right???

"We hope other brewpubs like The Horse Brass, Belmont Station, Bye and Bye will step up to fill the gap created by the sale of the Green Dragon."

Just a word on your nomenclature – none of these establishments produce their own beer, and therefore are not "brewpubs" but, in fact, "beer bars".
