Rogue has entered both the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) and the World Beer Cup (WBC). Labor issues In 2011, a group of employees from the Rogue Brewery in Newport, Oregon unsuccessfully attempted to unionize. Rogue was accused at the time for union-busting tactics at their Newport brewery, and has been questioned for their salary standards. Rogue's Eugene Public House and Track Town Brewery was shut down in 2014. According to Northwest Brewing News this was at least in part also due to Rogue's "cheapskate management tactics". Rogue reportedly refused to let the brewers have an assistant, and some brewers were forced to carry heavy loads and spend their own money to work within the company's dollar-per-keg budget limits. In July 2015, company president Brett Joyce dismissed those with complaints as having "an ax to grind".
