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 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!
