Ross also shares what he views the true meaning of Base Camp to be; the causes they care about, what that looks like in their business, and how all of that informs the beer they make and the vibe their going for in the taproom.

Today on the podcast, we’re learning a little bit about one of the most iconic craft beverage, hotel and music venue institutions in Oregon, McMenamins. We’re running at the historic Kennedy School on October 27, and rather than just tell you about that location and brewery, today’s episode is going to be a sort of brief overview of the company, from the perspective of Conners McMenamin, son of Brian McMenamin, one of the two McMenamin brothers who founded the company back in the early 80’s.

Conners and I will talk a bit about his memories of growing up while this great company was being built, as well as the role McMenamins has played in shaping the craft beer world. We’ll also give you a very brief history of the company and talk about just a few McMenamins properties, and some fun tidbits about the company, so keep listening.

Today on the podcast, we’re talking all about the brewing and community philosophy at 54-40 Brewing in Washougal Washington with the owner and head brewer, Bolt Minister.

We’re running there on October 13 of 2018, and if you want to join us, listen carefully to today's episode. I share a few promo codes that will be good for free and discounted entries!

Today on the podcast, I'm talking with Mark Rienstra from Laughing Planet. Laughing Planet is one of our event partners, giving out free goodies to participants at (almost) each and every one of our events. Mark is in charge of their fresh juice program. His title is 'Jucifer' meaning, he's the one making all that delicious fresh pressed juice! These juices, made primarily from vegetables, are incredibly healthy, and in a 12 oz bottle, contain three full servings or vegetables. In this episode, Mark and I talk all about the benefits of drinking fresh pressed juice, what makes the Laughing Planet Juice special, where you can buy it, as well as a deep dive into the various health benefits of each of their different juice offerings.

In today's episode of the podcast, Nathan sits down for a chat with the co-owner of Portland Running Company, and co-organizer of the 2018 Portland Marathon, Dave Harkin. Dave, along with his wife Paula (of run with Paula Events), stepped in to organize this iconic race after the previous race organizers ran into some trouble (pun intended). In this episode, we talk about what runners can expect from the new and improved "Portlandathon" a few of the new things with the 2018 race, as well as some general training tips.

Welcome to another installment of the Oregon Brewery Running Series Podcast; Inspiring Oregonians to Get Active, Have Fun, and Give Back. We host family-friendly, 5K fun runs that start and end at some of Oregon’s best breweries.

Today on the podcast, I sit down for a chat with John Frausto, one of the Pub Managers at Fort George Brewery in Astoria Oregon. In our conversation, John and I talk all about the ethos and culture of Fort George Brewery. As best I can tell, they’re really only about two things; the community and the beer. Everything else is secondary. We talk about what they’re doing to invest in the community of people at the brewery, which includes everyone from their team, residents of Astoria who frequent this fine establishment, as well as the thousands of tourists from all over the world who stop in for a beer. And of course anyone lucky enough to live in the radius where Fort George Beer is distributed. You might just learn a thing or two, so stick around.

Today on the podcast, we’re talking all about Laurelwood Brewing. We’ll be running there on August 11, 2018, for the third year in a row, and hope you’ll join us! Laurelwood caters to families, and as you'll hear from co-founder and co-owner Mike Dekalb, that was 100% intentional, and part of the driving motivation to open the brewpub in the first place. But Laurelwood isn’t only about dinosaurs, Little Tikes play kitchens, and being cool about continually cleaning up ketchup explosions. They also serve delicious food and award-winning beers. We’ll dive into some of that, and talk about the new beer they have on tap, with their brand new brewmaster, Eric Ebel. While Eric is new to this position, he's been at Laurelwood for four years and was eager to talk about what they’re brewing.

In my conversation with Mikki, we’re going to cover a lot of stuff. We’ll talk about what you can expect from a Yoga and Beer class, and how you can have that experience with us before our run at Migration Brewing on July 21. We’ll also talk about the benefits of Yoga for the mind and body. In addition to Yoga and Beer, Mikki manages the yoga program for the Oregon State Hospital, which is the psychiatric hospital. So, part of our conversation centers around how Yoga is used in fun social settings, as therapy, and everything in between.
