Beer is a Conversation: Portland Tourism

This week on Beer is a Conversation we discuss beer tourism. Tap rooms have become an important part of small brewery business plans as tourism increasingly becomes a major draw card. The first part of the conversation is with Chris Holen, Head Chef at Baked Alaska restaurant in Astoria Oregon. Chris tells the story of how food and beer have been instrumental in changing the fortunes of the small town that is now home to 5 breweries, a distillery, a cidery and a host of good restaurants. Then Matt chats with Trever Bass, Head Brewer at Migration Brewing in Portland Oregon about how to stand out in the city known as ‘Beervana'. Enjoy the conversation.
