Episode 19: Portland, OR - Featuring Jeff Alworth & Lisa Morrison

This week Brewery Travels heads to one of the nation’s craft beer hubs: Portland, Oregon. Joining Joel this week are Jeff Alworth (Beer writer, blogger, podcaster, and author of The Beer Bible) and Lisa Morrison (Co-owner of Belmont Station and former beer writer and podcaster who has the nickname “Beer Goddess”). The trio talk about several topics, ranging from why Portland became a city that spearheaded the craft beer movement, changes they have both witnessed to the beer scene, and the ups and downs of the pandemic for local breweries. You can follow Jeff on Twitter: @beervana or Instagram: @jeff.alworth Joel has visited over 700 breweries across 44 states plus Washington D.C. and has been able to make connections with many amazing individuals because of his travels. He is currently living on the road with his family, constantly “exploring more content and doing extensive research” (which just means visiting breweries and drinking beer)! The goal of Brewery Travels is to provide more information about craft beer scenes from around the country and shine a light on some of the excellent individual breweries that call these cities home.  From Portland, Maine to San Diego, California. Austin, Texas to Duluth, Minnesota. The bright lights of New York City to the farmland of rural Iowa. Brewery Travels plans to run the gauntlet of locations, providing in-depth information on as many places as possible. With episodes coming out weekly on Thursdays, Brewery Travels is where you can get your fix if you enjoy a craft beer or traveling. Cheers!
