Greetings fellow publicans! This Friday the 14th, Calapooia Brewing Company is hosting the 3d Annual Anniversary Party for that hip, deep, hip-deep and fabulous mid-valley weekly newspaper, The Alchemist! It is a showcase of local talent, thought and goings-on of the denizens of Corvallis and her neighbors brought to life by a handful of OSU students/musicians past and present. To read it is to witness a labor of love by it’s makers. To see it enjoy growth is something that I see as one of the things that is right with the world. At least with our little pocket of it.
This is going to be a kick-ass warehouse party with famed, veteran acid-punk band ARCWELD opening for Corvallis legend and Alchemist “house” band, STAIRWAY DENIED offering a good stiff dose of Led Zepplin tunes. For only $7 you will have the opportunity to have your face melted off by these two awesome bands! Showtime is 8pm and while you’re there, we got beer, oh yes we do, and lots of it! Hungry? Tear into one of our fantastic, juicy burgers to fuel your ecstatic gyrations! Don’t miss this once in a lifetime show!
Cheers!
Here’s a little sneak peak at what’s coming for July:

- Friday the 10th @ 9pm, Arcweld with The Wobblies and Donnacepa(donna-seepa). Anytime Arcweld plays it’s an event! The Wobblies and Donnacepa are sure to drive us into those raucous rhythms for which this classic Corvallis band is famous! Check out more on our music and events page.
- Calapooia Brewing presents It’s Rally Time with the Corvallis Knights baseball team on Tuesday, July 21st. The exact details aren’t filled in completely yet, but here is what I do know: We’re not just presenting the game, we’re having a party at our brew pub before and after the game. And a chartered bus will make two trips from and two trips back before and after the game — and there will be a keg on the bus! Stay tuned for ticket information soon!
- Brews, Blues and BBQ combines the regular Blues Jam with Smokin B’s BBQ every Sunday throughout the summer! We’ve got baby back ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, and all the sides and trimmings. Check out the Smokin B’s Facebook page!
- Guess who’s doing the beer garden at Riverfest again this year July 30, 31 and August 1st? We are of course, and I hear the garden has moved to a better spot for viewing the stage this year!
Enjoy summer with Calapooia Brewing!
