Here’s a quick picture from the live radio broadcast of the Joe Beavers Show at our brewpub:

Brewpub News

Since then there have been a couple changes around the pub.

First we’re changing our hours: We are now open every day of the week at 11:30!

And we’ve changed our keg sales hours as follows:

• Tuesday 4:30-5:30pm
• Thursday 4:30-5:30pm
• Friday 4:30-5:30pm

In beer news, Mark has just finished a brand new amber rye recipe that Matt has named Rock Hard Rye. It features a hop that is new to us, the Zeus Bittering hops. It’s an American aromatic high-alpha hop — 15%, aka powerful! Mark reports this will only be available at the pub and should be pouring in about 3 weeks. He also noted that Simco Springs is now available again, and they have enough for some limited distribution as well.

A quick reminder that we have lots of great live music every week at our Downtown Albany brewpub. Become a fan of our Facebook group and get all the updates every week from Paul!

Upcoming Events

This weekend is a BMX expo that will be held in our atrium. The classic BMX Museum members are coming strong with some 50 members and their bikes. They’ll have them all lined up along with parts for sale and trade. And that’s not all. Check out the details from their website:

Our plans are for 70′s,80′s,90′s,freestyle, cruiser and survivor…Trophy’s for all categories!!! The owner of the bar is going to set up a hamburger bar with chicken, burgers, vegetarian if we need? We will have a bike there for raffle and we will be giving 5 or 6 kids bikes who cant afford them…swap meet too…There will be a live Jazz band that nite also…

Very cool guys!

We also wanted to pass on a quick reminder that Crab Feed is just around the corner on February 6th, 3-8pm. $30 per ticket buys crab and chicken, plus all the sides, and 3 live bands will perform as well. We had a blast last year and can’t wait to host again!

Brewfests

We also wanted to let everyone know we’re heading to not only the KLCC Brewfest on February 12th and 13th, but also the Nano Beer Fest in Tigard. KLCC has details on their page and as soon as I get more details on the Nano Beer Fest, I will pass them along.

Many thanks to the Rotary and all their volunteers who helped keep this event running smoothly. And a special thanks to our crew: Steve, Kary, Summer, Deena, Matt, and Zach — Not to mention Paul, our brewpub manager, for coordinating one of our biggest events of the year.

And one last shout out to our Facilities Manager and Environmental Advocate, Nick Hawley. Nick encouraged the Rotary Club and Calapooia Brewing to think of ways we could be mindful of our environment when hosting an event like this. The Rotary club really came through with corn based plates, flatware, and cups, which allowed for composting of nearly all of the garbage! Calapooia Brewing is proud to be innovator in green recycling and we thank Nick for his efforts!

We had a great time this year and hope next year’s event is even bigger as we expand our warehouse seating. Below are a few pictures I snapped while enjoying some crab last weekend. If you have pictures you would like to share, please email me and I’ll get your pictures on our website!

And if you have an event you need to host for 20 people, or 350, we hope you’ll consider your next event at Calapooia Brewing!
