For many, the essence of the Pacific Northwest is captured in a crisp sip of locally crafted IPA, a morning view of Mt. Hood from a hotel room, or the welcoming smile of a server ready to explain the difference between the Columbia Valley and the Columbia Gorge. Behind each of these experiences is a fascinating business thriving in a highly competitive and legally complex industry.
