I liked Calapooia Brewing. Some of their beer was pretty light and they all seemed filtered, but after the previous few beer-soaked days, it was a pleasant change of pace. If they have their seasonal Fresh Hop Rye on tap, you should definitely get that.

Enjoying the fine beverages of Calapooia Brewing — Albany, OR

Rob’s Picks
• Devil’s Hole Stout – really nice
• Box Car Brown – really nice
• Riverdog ESB – crisp, good
• Fresh Hop Rye – really nice
• Big Aft Pale Ale – “Big” in name only. Light, but nice. Original name was “Big Ass.”

The Rest
• White Water Wheat – very light
• SantiAmber Ale – light, but decent
• Tugboat IPA – not too crisp or hoppy, but pleasant
