Remembering Summer ‘09: Septembeerfest Pictures

Septembeerfest-2009_3094

Well with the weather officially going all rain on us for the foreseeable future, I figured getting these pictures of Septembeerfest might add a little sunshine for us. What a fantastic late summer day that was with temps in the low 90’s and catching up with all our friends at one of the last brewfests of the season. We had a great time again this year and look forward to next summer already!

Enjoy the pictures, and if you have any to add, join our Flickr group on the right side of the website.

Northwest Art and Air Festival Starts Today!

Sorry for the late notice folks, but if you were wondering what to do with your weekend, come join us at the Northwest Art and Air Festival! We’ll be in the beer garden of course serving up your favorite Pacific Northwest microbrews and taking in what should be a very pleasant weekend in the low to mid 80’s.

The festival started early this morning with the balloon launch, but you can catch them again bright and early at 6:45 tomorrow morning. Tonight the beer and wine garden opens at 4pm, and later Curtis Salgado takes the stage and will play before and after the nightglow balloon show. Tomorrow is jam packed with a classic car show, airplane and helicopter rides, artist demonstrations, and local food booths. The beer and wine garden opens at 5pm and Creedence Clearwater Revisited takes the stage later that night.

Hope we see you this weekend and enjoy the festival!

Pictures from the Historic Albany Criterium Championship

Albany-Criterium-Race-8.15.09_1637

Yesterday afternoon was a perfect day for the races with temperatures in the mid-70’s and light winds in Downtown Albany. We had a great time hosting the beer garden and watching the talented and very fast racers right behind our taps. Here are some decent pictures that came out from my camera. All are linked to larger hi-res images too for your desktops. Enjoy!

This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we’ll be serving up our delicious microbrews at the Willamette River Festival in Albany, Oregon. The forecast is showing that our record high heat earlier this week will give way to a weekend of low 90’s and sunshine. Perfect for a weekend on the river at Monteith Park!

Activities include a Rock Band 2 competition, a KCBS BBQ competition, a pirate exhibition, the Bi-Mart monster truck, and music all weekend long with country singer Amy Clawson on Saturday.
