Remembering Summer ‘09: Septembeerfest Pictures
Posted by Dan
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.

Our Very Own with a Nice Piece in the Democrat Herald!
Posted by Dan
Check out Laura in this article in the Democrat Herald that came out a little while back. The piece is about women in local business. Sorry I’m just now getting this out there!
The message from Jones and other women: Women must value themselves and their skills.
“Know your own worth,” said Laura Bryngelson, co-owner and president of Calapooia Brewing in Albany and Flat Tail Brewing, which is under construction in downtown Corvallis.

The Music Scene!
Posted by Paul
Thanks to the fabulous work of our brewers and our cooks, The Calapooia Brewpub has enjoyed a great reception throughout the valley. When it comes to beer and burgers, we got it goin’ on. But that’s not all that’s goin’ on. We have been bringing great musical entertainment to the town of Albany for well over 2 years now. It started slowly, but now we have live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, as well as a smokin’ hot blues jam every Sunday afternoon. The music is eclectic and is drawn primarily from valley talent. Sometimes we even get a visit from someone out of state. Most often, the music is free, and sometimes we charge a cover (hey, musicians gotta eat too), but it’s usually only a couple bucks. To see our musical line-up, just click on “Music and Events” on this website. You may also join “Friends of The Calapooia” if you have a FaceBook account, for a weekly heads up of what’s in store for the coming weekend. Or you can pick up a copy of The Alchemist for details of what’s happening here and in Corvallis. Here are some photos of recent shows at The ‘Pooia.

Nate Gunn, of Levator, plays keys and sax, usually at the same time.

Forrestal’s Fall rock the warehouse. Note the new brewing system under construction.
The Sons of Confusion, also in the warehouse.
Terry Giell, leader of Sons of Confusion, Bleach and The Bonejars. He even hosts karaoke. The man is a rock star and Calapooia favorite.
A good turn out for the warehouse rock double-header of Forrestal's Fall and The Son's of Confusion.
It was actually darker than the flash makes it look. Note alternate use of pool table.
Terry gets serious.
Volifonix brings the funk behind a hop proscenium.

Join Us This Saturday in Corvallis for Septembeerfest!
Posted by Dan
This Saturday is the 12th Annual Septembeerfest, which is a benefit for the Linn Benton Food Share. The event is held at the Benton County Fairgrounds and admission is only $10.
Calapooia Brewing is the premier sponsor for the event and I asked Laura to tell me more about why this event is so special to us:
This is one of our biggest events for the year… these are our peeps… people who can actually come see us at the brewery! Plus, we are going to join our Corvallis counterparts under one tent this year so attendees can immediately find all their local breweries in one spot. And, for the price of entry, the attendees will receive a pint glass with the Septembeerfest logo on one side and our logo on the other… a great reminder to always “Drink Good Beer!”
The weather looks absolutely perfect for a late summer brewfest and it will be a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. See you there!

Phase 3 of the Brewery Expansion is Now Complete!
Posted by Dan
Just got this message from Mark on Facebook:
Hello all Calapooia fans. Yesterday was a very exciting day at the brewery. Phase 3 of the expansion went as smooth as silk and the 2 new 30 barrel fermenters are in the brewery. The rest of the week will be spent preparing them for next week’s maiden voyage. This means we will be brewing a lot more of your favorite beer! Stay tuned for phase 4, installation of the new 15 barrel brewhouse!
Thanks all for your support!
Mark, Laura and the entire ‘Pooia Brew Crew

A Few Cloud 9 Movie Night Pictures
Posted by Dan
I decided to experiment a bit without flash on the camera considering it was movie night and all. A flash is sure to make distract patrons from the movie I figured! Results are a bit mixed, but I’ll do better next time.
Many thanks to Cloud 9 for hosting us for movie night! As you can see in the pictures, it’s a beautiful spot and their menu is fantastic. Looking forward to the next movie night for sure!
And we don’t know who these folks are, but they appear to be mimicking the movie by downing some Calapooia Pilsner by the pitcher:

New Pictures From Brewer’s Night at Crowbar
Posted by Dan
The ‘Pooia Brew Crew would like to thank the Crowbar in Corvallis, and everyone who came out, for an absolutely great time last night! It was really cool to meet everyone and the entire bar was filled with a fun Calapooia Brewing buzz. Lots of folks grabbed swag as winners from the raffle, and we were treated to some live music from Billy Sunrise, who will also be playing at our pub on March 28th.
I’ve got my pictures below, but if you have some you’d like to add, you can shoot me an email, add them to the Official Calapooia Brewing Flickr pool, or even on our Fans of Calapooia Brewing Facebook page.
See you at our next event!
