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:

Many thanks to our great hosts at Suds, as well as Matt and Julie, who worked their butts off so we could show off 5 of our best microbrews in Oregon!

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!

We’d like to thank our host, Cloud, for having us to the Downward Dog for our promo. Everyone had a great time and guests sampled 3 different taps from Calapooia Brewing. Mark also handed out numerous t-shirts to those sampling our brews during the raffle.

We’ll be back in Corvallis in two weeks for our latest promo at the Crowbar. See you then and enjoy pictures from our event at the Downward Dog:
