Calapooia in the News
Check out our beer goddesses in the special Women in Business section of the October 25th Edition of the Corvallis Gazette Times and Albany Democrat Herald. Laura, Trisha, and Vanessa got together, had a beer or two, and put on their best “I’m too sexy for this Pub” looks (OK, not so much). Amy, darn it all, wasn’t able to make it, and we missed her!
Also, in case you missed it in the last post, Calapooia Brewing Co. received top honors as the “Top Brewpub in Linn County,” according to the GT/DH Entertainer (Sept. 29).
Just wait until next year… with our new look planned to be completed within a year (see our drawing below), and our kitchen in full service making the most savory hand-patted hamburgers in Albany, we hope to nab a few more of the Valley’s Best awards!
Mark Your Calendars! Crab Fest is February 10th
Calapooia Brewing Co. has donated our huge and beautiful atrium again this year to help the Albany Rotary Club host the 2007 Crab Fest. Tickets are $25 each, and the funds go towards charity causes such as (but not limited to) dictionaries for schools and wheelchair assistance in developing nations. The Bush Pilots will provide the entertainment, and there will be plenty of raffle give-aways.
Did we mention the beer? Lots of beer!
Oh yeah, and the freshly-caught Oregon Crab. Nummers! (And the beer!)
And Now, for Something Completely Different
A couple photos taken of the Pub. Enjoy!
Our Vibrant New Sign!
Some fine ‘Pooia Patrons enjoying good brew and conversation on our covered patio.
On Tap
The Fresh Hop Rye is flying out the door. Better bust in and get it while it’s here!
And… drum roll, please… Thor’s Hammer will be on tap at the Pub starting November 1st. Many ‘Pooia regulars and fans have been clammoring for Thor’s return… be first in line to feel his wrath!
Highlander Scotch Ale has been renamed. It is now called “Caber Toss Scotch Ale.” Think of large, sweaty, kilted men throwing telephone poles, and you have the concept.

‘Pooia Post: Extree, Extree, Drink all about it!

Just some updates to keep our loyal surfers up-to-date:
Runway Sunday: Unleash the Model Within
Tuesdays and Wednesdays have, for too long now, cornered the market on drink specials at the Calapooia pub. Well, no more! Model your daring and dashing Calapooia Brewing Co. T-Shirt on Sundays, and our daring and dashing Trishalicious will give you $0.50 off your pints.
Wow! Now you can actually write “Professional Model” on your resume!
Calapooia Brewing Co. Sponsors Willamette Open 8
The Willamette Open, which is the last event of the 2006 Oregon Series, had a little help from some beer-brewing friends when the ‘Pooia signed on to sponsor the 2-day tournament. Disc golf and breweries have long had a close association, and the fact that this extremely popular event was attended by 150 disc-golfers from several states was great. What made it super cool was that each one of them received a limited edition Calapooia Brewing Co.-stamped disc in their players’ packs. If you like to huk discs, we have a few for sale at the pub.
Bartenders, movin’ on up!
The newest addition to our little beer family is Amy. She helped us out big-time while Trishalicious was par-taying back east, and she has now taken over Tuesdays. Welcome aboard!
Congratulations to our own Thursday Beer Goddess Vanessa for passing her massage therapy exams. She will soon open her own practice right here in Albany in the Albany Massage Center. Thankfully, she will continue to sling beers to appreciative customers in the Pub on Thursdays, and will begin wo-manning the pub on Mondays starting October 23. Yay, Vanessa!
Hey, Nice Segue!
Calapooia Brewing Co. will be open on Mondays starting on October 23. One more glorious day to imbibe the best beers in the Willamette Valley (or at least Linn County)!
Holy Cow… Nice Rack (of Segues)!
Calapooia Brewing Co. received top honors as the “Top Brewpub in Linn County,” according to the GT/DH Entertainer (Sept. 29). We’ll just pretend there are like, 10 others we were competing against. Wink-wink, nudge-nudge.
Calapooia Keg Sighting
You can now find Calapooia beer (SantiAmber) on tap at the downtown American Dream/Crow Bar in Corvallis! You can also find ‘Pooia kegs at these locations.
