Portland is all about collaboration and this one brings together beer​ ​+ food, the love of cooking, appreciation for craft beer and tasting with two local small businesses owners who have been best friends for 23 years. "We both found ourselves in Portland through following our passions," says Ashley Rose Salvitti of BREWVANA. "My passion is craft beer, and Liv keeps me healthy with her passion for nutrition and her amazing cooking skills! " Olivia Martino is a registered ​die​ti​t​ian who founded Nourish Northwest 5 years ago in an effort to help people find balance with food​, nutrition ​and fitness ​and lead healthier lives. The girls were 11 years old when they met in upstate NY and have remained friends since; they both have found comfort in calling Portland their home in an opportunity-rich environment to grow their businesses. "The values that make Portland an amazing place to live, love, work and grow ​have ​also provided opportunities for small local businesses to be successful. The people here love craft beer as well as living fulfilling and healthy lives, which is why this tour is so perfect for the locals!"  Craft beer and healthy lifestyles are two things that overlap in the pacific northwest. Andrew Harmon, an intern at Nourish is also a beertender at The BeerMongers with a strong knowledge and passion for craft beer.
