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.

Join Us This Weekend at the Willamette River Festival in Albany, Oregon
Posted by Dan
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.
Come out and enjoy festival, and stop by the beer garden for a refreshing microbrew beer from Calapooia Brewing!
