Calapooia Brewing was founded as Oregon Trader Brewing in 1993, then was rechristened as Calapooia in 2006. In November 2019 Calapooia was acquired by wife & husband team Caitlin Prueitt & Chris Neumann owners of Vivacity Fine Spirits, a craft distillery originating from Corvallis, Oregon. “Our plan is to keep everything that made Calapooia Brewing special, including the beers & incredible staff.” With Vivacity’s acquisition of the brewery in 2019, both craft beverage businesses are now based in Albany, OR.
Vivacity Spirits + Calapooia Brewing are both proudly Oregon-born beverage brands with a passion for crafting exceptional products. From smooth, small-batch gins and vodkas to bold IPAs and crisp light ales, we aim to bring flavor, creativity, and community to every pour.
