The Rouge Public House microbrewery is located at 844 Olive Street and has a large mural that’s tucked down the alleyway on the south side of the building.
After you’re finished checking out the mural you should check out the microbrewery itself, it’s great. Located at the sight of Eugene’s oldest brewery (Eugene City Brewery, opened 1866) they have a wonderful selection beer on tap. I suggest trying their Dead Guy Ale, Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout and especially their Hazelnut Brown Ale. Yummm!
I love the detail character studies in this mural and the nostalgic look back at an error gone by.
It’s almost like the ghost of brewer’s gone by are peering on at the modern works as it zooms by, often oblivious of the still and silent watchers.
This mural is also by Jim Evangelista. He was my next door neighbor and painted these panels backstage in the movie theater where I worked downtown (the McDonald.) That little boy peeking out from behind the tree is his son.
