Two Shy Brewing Crafts
We came across Two Shy Brewing while visiting Wolf Creek Inn State Heritage Site. We ordered a Mt. Bailey Cream Porter from the historic Inn’s menu.
The Mt. Bailey Cream Porter (6% ABV, 30 IBU) was delightfully different. It had a taste that was quite unique for a porter—I’ll let the movie explain.
@dinkumtribe Apparently we need to brush up on our adjectives for beer tasting!😆@dinkumtribe @dinkumtribe @dinkumtribe #porterbeer #porterbeerlover #americanporter #oregoncraftbeer #craftbeertok #craftbrewing #oregonbeer #craftbrewery #craftbeertastetest ♬ original sound – DinkumTribe ADHD family travel
Two Shy Brewing produces almost twenty different beers including the Ignition Double IPA (8% ABV, 105 IBU), Reformation Irish Red Ale (6% ABV, 48 IBU), and Dead-on Amber Ale (5.8% ABV, 40 IBU).
The Deja Vu Lager is one of Two Shy’s most interesting brews. This Western-style lager is a throwback to the Roseburger export beer produced in the 1890s.

Roseburg’s depot is one of McMenamin’s most dynamic locations. The railway stop was built in 1912 and still retains much its original decor including its 16-foot-high vaulted ceiling and tongue-and-groove wainscoting.
But the best feature may be the chance to see an actual train. McMenamin’s alerts patrons who enjoy their patio seating: “When a train passes by — hold on to your beer!”
