A Happy Thanksgiving from Waganupa Brewing
As we gather around tables this Thanksgiving, we want to take a moment to say thank you—to the friends, families, and neighbors who make Lake Almanor home. Thank you for showing up on our taproom stools, for laughing through trivia nights, for sharing stories over cold pints, and for making Waganupa Brewing feel like community. This season, we're grateful for every moment we get to spend with you, and every reason you give us to pour another round. Here's to gratitude, good beer, and the people who make it all matter.
Join Our Beer Clubs: Three Ways to Belong
We're thrilled to announce that our Beer Clubs are officially launching—and there's a perfect fit for everyone who wants to go deeper with Waganupa Brewing.
Mug Club is for the regulars who've made our taproom their second home. Imagine having your own personalized mug hanging behind the bar, ready and waiting every time you walk through the door. Mug Club members get exclusive perks, priority seating, special pricing, and the kind of recognition that comes with being part of the Waganupa family. Your mug, your spot, your community.
Growler Club is perfect for those who want to take the Waganupa experience home. Fresh beer, straight from the tap, in your growler. Members enjoy discounted fills, early access to new releases, and the convenience of keeping your favorite brews on hand—whether it's for a quiet night at the cabin or sharing with friends around the fire. It's craft beer made easy, and made for you.
Barrel Club is our premium tier for the true beer enthusiasts. This is the VIP experience—exclusive barrel-aged releases, limited batches you won't find anywhere else, behind-the-scenes access to the brewing process, and invitations to special tastings and events. Barrel Club members are the first to know, the first to taste, and the first to celebrate when something extraordinary comes out of the brewery. If you live for rare brews and unforgettable flavors, this is your club.
Each club comes with its own perks, personality, and place in the Waganupa story. Visit us in the taproom or reach out at sales@waganupabrewing.com or 530.616.8104 to learn more and claim your spot.
