All I can say is Calapooia Brewing loves coming to Suds in Corvallis! You were wonderful hosts once again and treated us like rock stars! We were packed the entire time and really enjoyed kicking of the school year with all of you!
Here are some pictures of the fun:

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.

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!

A Photolog of our day with the Corvallis Knights
Posted by Dan
Last week Calapooia Brewing had the pleasure of presenting the game for the Corvallis Knights baseball team. It was a total blast as you can tell from the images below. I’ll let the pictures do the talking:

Coach Hawk from LBCC came out to support his players, Liam Baron and Trevor Smith, who play with the Knights in the off season.

'Pooia bus riders getting pumped for the game!

Laura and her husband, Julyan from Squirells bar in Corvallis, with Mark and Laura.

Nick and Mr. Putzler enjoying the game

Mark and Laura compete in a pitch off and Sophia declares Mommy the winner!

Congratulating the winner!

A beautiful night as the sun goes down in Corvallis at the tied-up Knights game.
We’d like to thank the Corvallis Knights for having us out to the park last Tuesday and a big shout out to all our friends from the brewery who came out to cheer on the team!

Calapooia Brewing presents It’s Rally Time with the Corvallis Knights baseball team Tuesday, July 21st
Posted by Dan

Plan to take the afternoon off and party with us as we present It’s Rally Time with the Corvallis Knights baseball team July 21st. The game starts at 6:35pm, but the fun starts early at our brewpub in Albany at 3pm. Our $12 game package includes:
- Wear your Calapooia Shirt and receive $1 off selected beers while at the brewery!
- $2 hotdogs at the brewery
- Game ticket
- Bus ride leaving from the brewery at 5:15 and 6:00 (50 tickets for each, first come, first served!) with a keg on the bus!
- Bus ride back to the ‘Pooia after the game.
Yep, all that for only $12! Buy your tickets in advance, first come first served!
(The ‘Pooia closes at 10 on Tuesdays, so there won’t be any ‘Pooia-sanctioned partying afterwards – Sorry!)
This is going to be a fantastic afternoon at the ‘Pooia Pub and Goss Stadium. The Knights are currently rocking a 22-4-1 record and just set a west coast attendance record at their July 3rd game with over 3300 in attendance to catch the game and fireworks!
Rally Time is a mascot that revs up the crowd and caters to the fans and families for an extra special day at the park. Here’s a taste of Rally in action:
We are super excited for this great event and look forward to seeing you Tuesday July 21st! Don’t forget, these ticket packages will go quickly at only $12 and it’s first come first serve. Stop by the brewery today and get your tickets before they’re gone!

Jam Packed July for Calapooia Brewing!
Posted by Dan
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!

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:
