Welcome to another installment of the Oregon Brewery Running Series Podcast; Inspiring Oregonians to Be 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 we’re chatting with Rik Hall, co-founder, co-owner and occasional brewer at Baerlic Brewing in SE Portland. Rik and I sat down this summer in the Baerlic Taproom to talk about what Baerlic has been up to since I last chatted with Rik, along with plugging our run at the Baerlic Barley Pod in NE Portland on November 9.
Rik was one of our first guests on the podcast in 2017. During that chat, we talked about the opening of the Barley Pod, along with some of the backstory and histroy of how the brewery came to be. Baerlic just celebrated turning five years old, which is a tremendous accomplishment.

In short, yes, it is!
Rik is a genuine person who seems to care not only about their beer but about the people who work for Baerlic. Fitting into their culture while allowing space for individuality seems extremely important to them.
