Welcoming Pierce Nielsen to Waganupa Brewing for the First Time
We're thrilled to introduce Pierce Nielsen to our stage for his debut performance at Waganupa Brewing on Friday, October 4th from 5:30 to 8:30 PM. This rising singer-songwriter brings a voice that captivates and lyrics that stir the soul, delivering performances that have been turning heads and hushing rooms across Montana, Idaho, and beyond.
Pierce's music paints vivid pictures of life in America's Rocky Mountains and explores the complexities of the human experience with raw emotion and authenticity. Growing up in Scottsdale, Arizona, his journey from football and musical theater to becoming a compelling indie Americana artist began after a career-ending injury led him to find solace in his guitar. His breakthrough album "Contrite (Live)" was recorded entirely outdoors in the rugged Montana winter—a testament to the authenticity that echoes in every note.
Known for performances that blend grit and grace, Pierce's live sets have been described as intimate and unforgettable entertainment that brings together audiences from young women to old-timers. His music draws comparisons to Tyler Childers, Flatland Cavalry, and CAAMP, with a sound that's been praised as "poetic grit and emotional weight".
No cover charge, no RSVP required - just come ready to experience authentic Americana music in the welcoming atmosphere of Waganupa Brewing. Whether you're a longtime fan of folk-country or discovering it for the first time, Pierce Nielsen's first visit promises to be a memorable introduction to our community.

Kickoff Hour: $6 pints from kickoff through halftime—yes, really!
Fuel Up: Craving game-day fuel? Snag a slice of Il Lago’s spicy Santa Fe Pizza or a Chicken Shawarma Plate from Hido’s Kitchen—pick it up to-go, bring it in, and grab a pint.
Drop your pizza box at the door, snag a pint, and get your game face on. This isn’t your living room—this is Waganupa, where Thursday nights level up.
Lederhosen & Guitars — Rock the Lot Oktoberfest
Lederhosen & Guitars — Rock the Lot Oktoberfest
Lake Almanor, it’s time to break out your best Bavarian threads and join the party!
Saturday, September 27th, Waganupa Brewing throws open the doors at 2:00 PM for the first-ever Lederhosen & Guitars — a Rock the Lot Oktoberfest bash the whole community can enjoy. No tickets, no RSVP, no fuss—just bring your crew and come ready to celebrate!
Kick things off with our lively beer blessing (“The Benediction at the Opening of the Oktoberfest”) — yes, there will be ceremonial keg tapping and plenty of cheers. Then go arm-to-arm in the stein-holding showdown or test your handyman skills at Hammerschlagen, our nail-pounding, crowd-cheering contest.
Think your dirndl or lederhosen is a cut above? Strut your stuff in the all-ages costume contest parade — the winner is picked by the loudest applause (so bring fans!). From games and goofy moments to genuine tradition, this is Oktoberfest the Almanor way: joyful, a little wild, and totally welcoming.
Pour yourself a pint of our new Schwarzbier (you’ll want to brag about it later), grab a brat or a bite (food lineup TBA), and get ready for all-day live music.
Kyle-Matthew Taylor keeps the afternoon rocking with Americana roots from 4–6,
then help us welcome back community favorite Caleb Montgomery Band, who tore it up at our July 4th party, playing country hits and crowd favorites 7–9.
Feeling VIP? Nab one of just five $50 reserved tables — each fits four, with a frosty pitcher and a server at your beck and call.
Whether you’re a die-hard local, music fan, stein-holding champion, or just looking for some autumn fun — this party is all about raising a glass, making memories, and sharing Oktoberfest Waganupa-style.
Just show up. Rock the Lot. Prost!

Chad Bushnell Live: Country Night at Waganupa
Hey Almanor Basin—it’s time for the ultimate Friday night out! We’re rolling out the red carpet in our parking lot for two incredible reasons: first, you’ll be among the very first to taste Bushnell Light, our brand-new American Lager brewed just for nights like this. Then, at 7 PM, Nashville’s own Chad Bushnell will take the stage with his authentic Texas Red Dirt sound.
We’re kicking things off at 4:00 PM with the Bushnell Light Release Party—no cover, no tickets, just great beer and good vibes. Stick around at 7:00 PM when Chad brings the house down with live country music under the stars.
Bring your chairs, blankets, and a sense of adventure—your spot in the lot awaits! Get your pints of Bushnell Light, and we’ll have tunes, cheers, and community spirit flowing all night.
Whether you’re here for the first sip or the final encore, you’re in for a night to remember. See you out front!
