Today on the podcast I’m chatting with Ashley Rose Salvitti, the craft beer-loving owner, founder, lead pretzel necklace maker at Brewvana Portland Through Craft. This show is the first in what I hope will be a regular segment on the show where we discuss all of the fun and exciting events going on in and around Portland.

I texted Ashley a few weeks ago and asked if she would be up for doing something like this; monthly podcast episodes where we sort of just riff on whatever random or interesting events we think you might enjoy. She was totally into the idea!

Ashley is a bit of an expert on these matters, and since we’re all about Being Active, Having Fun, and Giving Back here at the Oregon Brewery Running Series, I thought we could help all of you, our listeners and event participants, discover more ways to do those things when you’re not participating in our events.

In 2018, I also interviewed Ashley for the podcast. That conversation focused on all the fantastic things Brewvana does to help you explore the craft scene in Portland. After you have finished listening to this episode, listen to that episode here! It’s quite fun.

Whenever I see Ashley at any beer type event, or randomly out around the city, she’s always very warm, engaging, and full of energy and positivity. As you’ll hear in this interview, she loves beer, but she loves bringing people together to enjoy and learn about the entire craft experience here in Portland, even more.
