Rogue Ales and Spirits Liquidation Auction Sells Newport Brewing, Packaging, Distillery Equipment

Commercial Industrial Auctioneers opened an online bankruptcy liquidation catalog for Rogue Ales & Spirits’ Newport brewing facility, listing a “complete liquidation of all assets located at Brewing facility in Newport, OR.” The auction page states, “Online Auction will begin ending March 7th, 2026 @9am,” and identifies the plant address as “All Items Located At 2320 SE Marine Science Dr. Newport, OR 97365.”

The catalog groups the physical inventory into major brewery and distillery categories: canning and bottling lines, brewhouse tanks, packaging gear, restaurant equipment and distillery equipment. The auction listing and bankruptcy filings frame the sale as part of a Chapter 7 process for parent company Oregon Brewing Company and its subsidiaries, with the catalog offering the Newport plant equipment to the highest bidder when the online close took place.

Bankruptcy filings and company disclosures show the financial strain behind the liquidation: the subsidiaries named in the filings list more than $16.7 million in total liabilities, including more than $500,000 in back rent owed to the Port of Newport and over $30,000 in taxes owed to Lincoln County. Those filings also follow the abrupt closure of Rogue Ales & Spirits’ Oregon locations, a closure described in reporting as having occurred two months prior to the auction announcement.

Commercial Industrial Auctioneers, a Portland-based, family owned and operated firm, laid out a tight logistics and payment schedule on its auction page. A final preview was set for Friday, March 6, 2026, from 9:00am to 4:30pm, and the primary pickup window was March 9–13, 2026, 8:00am to 5:30pm, with a secondary pickup window March 16–20 by appointment only. The auction page cautions, “No removal 3/7/26 or 3/8/26,” and repeats that “Payments Due by 4:30pm Tuesday, March 10th, 2026.”

Buyers were warned of the auction’s commercial terms: the site advertises “0% Buyer’s Premium on all lots” while noting a “3% Convenience fee for all card transactions.” The page also states, “Credit Card Payments over $5,000.00 will NOT be accepted — Payments greater than $5,000.00 will need to be made by Cash, Cashier’s Check, or Wire Transfer.” Additional charges spelled out include a $25.00 administrative fee on titled units and “Storage fees of $15 per day” for items not removed during the advertised pickup window. The auction listing adds that “There may be rigging costs associated with each lot. These costs will be added to your invoice once the auction has completed.”

Commercial Industrial Auctioneers provided a single contact for payments and buyer questions, listing a customer service number, (503) 760-0499. With the online close occurring March 7 and payments due by March 10, the catalog signals a rapid disposition of Rogue’s tangible plant assets; the next reporting step will be confirmation of winning bidders, invoices that include any rigging charges, and the final accounting of proceeds against the Chapter 7 liabilities.
