“We don’t mind making a few dogs if, every now and then, we make something phenomenal.  We don’t look at that as our bread and butter.  It’s our fun project.  We’re trying to learn as we go along.  It’s fun.  It’s a hobby.  Like going fishing.  Why not?  Its not costing anything.” Dave Fleming, head brewer at New Old Lampoc in Portland As quoted by Paul McMorrow in BeerAdvocate #43

“I’m a purist.   Look at the ingredients.   Keep it simple.   Use your eyes and nose.   The stuff that’s really standing out is stuff that’s simple and fresh.” Dave Fleming, head brewer at New Old Lampoc in Portland As quoted by Paul McMorrow in BeerAdvocate #43

“If you don’t try, if you’re just going to rest on your laurels, you won’t get anywhere.   There are just so many great brewers.   You want to keep up with people.   These guys are phenomenal.   I feel lucky to be mentioned in the same sentence, or the same paragraph, or maybe even at the end of the book.” Dave Fleming, head brewer at New Old Lampoc in Portland As quoted by Paul McMorrow in BeerAdvocate #43
