I’ve seen the many races in the Oregon Brewery Series advertised for years, but for some reason it took me forever to finally make it to one of the events – the Portland Cider Run in Clackamas. I really wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was a little nervous that I might get lost. I know these events are low key, so I was unsure of how well-marked the course was and whether or…
The Oregon Brewery Running Series puts on some amazing running events. For those who have never participated in one of these races, why not? They are family friendly, untimed, and in all honesty, put the “fun” in fun run. This July OBRS are jet-setters with three races – one at the Oregon Coast, one in Portland, and one in Eugene. Each route is always 5k-ish in distance, and open for runners, walkers and even those…

They are family friendly, untimed, and in all honesty, put the “fun” in fun run. This June, OBRS are jet-setters with three races – one at the Oregon Coast, one in Portland, and one in Bend.

It seemed fitting to, instead of showcasing Strava segments for this weekend (check out all our Strava Segments of the Week here!), we would instead showcase a couple other cool Strava clubs. With the Oregon Brewery Running Series 2022 Kickoff & MINIBrewfest happening this weekend at the Run Pub, we would highlight both of these clubs. OBRS has an official training group of the Oregon Brewery Running Series on Strava. It’s membership is almost 550…

October is my favorite running month as the sweltering heat has left us for the year, the trees are starting to turn, and there’s a happy energy in the air while we run.

Participants get a free craft brew from 54°40′ Brewing, collector’s pint or…
For those of you who haven’t read any of my blog posts about beer, I am nearing 600 unique breweries travelled to. Needless to say, there aren’t a ton in Oregon/SW Washington that I haven’t been to. But there absolutely are those which I haven’t been to in quite some time – and one of those is Loowit Brewing in downtown Vancouver. Loowit is actually in quite the prime spot – right near Ester Short…
Portland is a brewing haven – especially when it comes the “king” style – IPA’s. We just seem to do it better than just about anybody in my opinion. But there are a plethora of other great styles out there and, thanks to breweries like Zoiglhaus Brewing Company, it shows that PDX can do more than just hop bombs. Zoiglhaus stays a little truer to traditional German-stylings and is a fun beer journey (though they still…
