When Rogue Ales was approached with the idea of creating a special beer bottle to support the IFC show “Portlandia”, without hesitation they said – sign us up!

Rogue is also talking to the group planning the Portland premiere next Friday to perhaps provide a few of these limited edition bottles.

I found this article in the Sunday New York Times about the upcoming IFC show “Portlandia”. The show is not only proving to be one that the media is interested in covering (it’s been in Entertainment Weekly and many local pubs) but it’s managed to stir up some interesting debate.
Recently IFC smartly put this video up on YouTube from the show. “The Dream of the 90’s is alive in Portland” on the surface seems to make fun of a lot of unique things that exist in Portland. Continue reading... ““Portlandia” Covered in the New York Times – Good For Business”
I went to the recent “Live Wire Radio” show which plays on OPB on Saturday Nights. They recorded two shows – one that will air on Christmas Night and one that will air in January. The January show features Carrie Brownstein and Gus Van Sant (as well as a good skit with Carrie about “Portlandia”). The Christmas show featured singer/songwriter Thao Nguyen who played this song that night. It brought the house down. A gift card Christmas – a true 21st century Christmas song.
