Doug is from Walla Walla, Washington but made his beer career in Portland.  In his college days, Doug would sip on craft beers such as Red Hook, Widmer Hefeweizen, and Pyramid while he was getting his degree in Political Science at the University of Washington. “If I could get a hold of a craft beer, I’d try it,” he said, never knowing that he would one day be the brew master and senior manager of brewing operations at Widmer Brewing.

Each month, Brewvana’s Connoisseur Tour gives a different local brewer the opportunity to showcase the beers that they live to brew and create their own tour based on their favorite places around town. It is their chance to share their knowledge of beer with their community.

BREWVANA is the Ultimate Beer Tour Experience, committed to embracing the history and culture of the craft brewing industry in Portland, Oregon. Transportation is provided on a 14-passenger bus equipped with cup holders, a beer inspired mural and the Beeriodic Table for reference.
