Corvallis Breweries

Oregon's Willamette Valley is known as one of the West Coast's great wine regions. But we also have a burgeoning craft beer scene here, with exciting new microbreweries popping up all the time. 

Cool fall weather makes this the perfect time of year to savor the best local, seasonal flavors these brewers have to offer. Our real estate agents are excited to share some of their favorite Willamette Valley breweries!

  • Calapooia Brewing - 140 NE Hill St, Albany, OR 97321
    Pacific Pilsner, River Jump IPA, and Turkish Coffee Stout are just a few of the staple beers at Calapooia Brewing, a local microbrewery that traces its roots in the Willamette Valley back to 1993. Their excellent brews are served alongside mouth-watering pub grub at the brewery's cozy Albany pub location, which is shared with Vivacity Fine Spirits, a local craft distillery based in Corvallis. 

  • Deluxe Brewing Company - 635 NE Water Ave, Albany, OR 97321
    Deluxe Brewing Company can trace its humble beginnings back to a home brew kit purchased at a local brewing supply store by co-founders Howie and Jamie Howard back in 2005. Today, it's become a staple of the Willamette Valley craft brewing scene, offering signature brews like Wild Beaver Amber Lager and Sintillator Dopplebock. The 15-barrel brewery is also operated in conjunction with Sinister Distilling, and you can sample both at their Albany tasting room.
