Oregon City Brewing Company Opens a Book-Themed Beer Destination in Canby

Bookworms and beer-lovers can now congregate at Oregon City Brewing’s second location, the Canby Beer Library, which opened in the former Canby Municipal Library building in late October. The taproom pours 51 taps, 45 of which are Oregon City Brewing’s beers and sodas.

The beer library’s adjacent food cart pod has heated seating and houses seven food carts: Adelina’s Mexican Food, Alani Mediterranean, Zula’s Tea & Coffee, Blessing Bites Fish & Chips, Church of Smoke BBQ, Poundtown Smashburgers, and Esan Thai. As a tribute to the building’s former tenants, patrons can purchase books from the Friends of the Canby Library at the taproom, which also features book-themed beer display boards and taster trays. Oregon City Brewing Company opened its original location in 2014. The Canby Beer Library is open at 292 N Holly Street.
