#4.7 Fly Boy-Cascade Merger & Above the Rest Home Brew

This episode was recorded over a span of 3 weeks during the COVID Stay at Home Order. During these 3 weeks, Art Larrance announced his retirement and Fly Boy Brewing announced that they were purchasing Art's beloved Cascade Brewing. All of this is happening while the world fights the COVID Virus, the markets have crashed, unemployment is at about 35%, and most bars and restaurants are closed.

The brewers and tap houses are resilient though! Most are serving growlers, some are providing the glass growlers and others like Barley Browns have moved to canning-selling their canned beers in tap houses and stores.

Enjoy the interview with Ramie and Greg 2 of the 5 new owners of Cascade Brewing ( Mark and Kristi Becker, Ramie Mount, Brian Kovach and Greg Laird). This team will help keep Cascade moving forward!

The second interview is with Sharon Hurd owner of Above the Rest Home brewing in Tigard. This is an amazing place place to buy beer and wine making supplies. Sharon, Jason and Gary discuss the challenges of owning a home brewing shop right now.
