Calapooia Brewing
Had to test out the bike prior to using her for a business trip.
So, I made a short trip down to the
Calapooia Brewing down in Albany,
OR. Very cool pub. It's simple, which appeals to whatever is left
of my engineering sensibility. The people were very cool, which
appeals to whatever is left of my Texan friendliness. And their
Chili Beer is *^^&%%^$%* awesome. The
only
not-so-positive thing I experienced was that I didn't much like
their Yankee Clipper IPA. But, then again, I'd just ridden for 1.5
hours on my bike, on the freeway, in 90 degree sun, with my
half-helmet. So, my face and lips were wind chapped and my mouth
was dry. So my guess is the Yankee Clipper is good but didn't fit
my palate the way the Chili Beer did at the time.
Note to self: Find out if anyone in Portland sells their beer,
especially the Chili. And if not,
that will be the
contents of my next corny refill. -----
