Heather's Paint Party

Autumn Muse: Throw, Splash & Spray

Join us for an afternoon of creative magic with our beloved local artist, Heather Greene! On Sunday, October 26th from 12:00 to 5:00 pm at Waganupa Brewing, you're invited to discover the pure joy of "throwing" paint and letting autumn colors dance across your canvas.

This isn't about perfection—it's about play, laughter, and letting your creativity flow! Whether you're a seasoned artist or have never touched a paintbrush, Heather will guide you through the delightful art of splattering, splashing, and spraying watercolors. Come as you are (just wear something dark or bring a smock) and prepare to surprise yourself with what you can create.

Your $60 ticket includes everything you need—paints, brushes, spray bottles, delicious appetizers, and a refreshing drink to sip while you paint. It's the perfect way to spend a cozy autumn afternoon with friends, both old and new.

Reserve your spot by visiting us in the taproom at 401 Peninsula Drive or simply text 530-616-8104. Space is limited, and we can't wait to see the beautiful chaos you'll create together!

Welcoming Pierce Nielsen to Waganupa Brewing for the First Time
Oct

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.

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!

Watercolor Paint Party: Capturing the Soul of the Olsen Barn
Sep

Watercolor Paint Party: Capturing the Soul of the Olsen Barn

Watercolor Paint Party: Capturing the Soul of the Olsen Barn

Sunday, September 14th - 12PM - 5PM - $60

"Everyone loves the barn. Painting it is like taking a leisure walk around the barn." — Artist Heather Greene

Step into a story that began over 160 years ago, when Norwegian immigrant Peter Olsen arrived in Big Meadows with nothing but his craftsmanship and a dream. With massive hand-hewn timbers and wooden pegs carved by his own hands, Peter built what would become one of Northern California's most beloved landmarks — the iconic Olsen Barn.

Today, that same barn stands as a testament to master craftsmanship in the heart of Chester's last remaining piece of Big Meadows, surrounded by 107 acres of meadow that once lay beneath what is now Lake Almanor. It's the same barn that has watched generations of children grow up, welcomed countless photographers seeking its rustic beauty, and served as a gathering place for weddings, celebrations, and quiet contemplation.

Now, local artist Heather Greene invites you to experience the barn as she does — not just as a subject to paint, but as a gentle companion for an afternoon's journey. Under Heather's expert guidance, you'll discover why this weathered beauty has captured hearts for generations. As your brush moves across watercolor paper, you'll find yourself taking that same "leisure walk" Heather describes — noticing the way afternoon light plays across the corrugated metal roof, the stories held in every weathered board, and the peaceful rhythm of creating art in the shadow of history.

Your artistic adventure includes:

  • All materials needed to create your watercolor masterpiece

  • Expert instruction from Heather Greene

  • Appetizers to fuel your creativity

  • One complimentary beer (additional beverages available)

  • An original artwork that captures not just the barn's image, but its timeless spirit

Whether you're a seasoned artist or have never held a paintbrush, you'll leave with more than just a painting — you'll carry home a piece of Chester's living history, painted by your own hands, filled with the same love that has drawn people to this remarkable barn for over a century and a half.

Reserve your spot today at Waganupa Brewing, 401 Peninsula Drive

Limited seating - All skill levels welcome - Pet and family-friendly
