About The Bière Library

The Bière Library Story

The Bière Library is a craft beer bar and restaurant serving Corvallis, Oregon. Inspired by the beer and cuisine of Belgium, The Bière Library explores the relationship between beer and food in an environment reminiscent of a comfortable library. A well-curated selection of local craft and import beer rotate frequently on draft and in bottles, with an emphasis on quality and diversity of styles. The food menu features Belgian comfort food, described by Chef Travis as a cross between traditional German food portions and the refinement of French cooking techniques.

Chef Travis’ passion for good beer and great food began on a trip to Belgium and he continues to find inspiration from Old World and family recipes. His time spent cooking at Ray's Boathouse in Seattle and The Dizzy Hen in Philomath further honed his skills.
