Entreprenurial spirit flourishes as beer, cannabis startups thrive
Dispensaries, brewers doing well in Oregon
LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. — At first, Jon Turner was just a software guy who really liked to brew beer. He cooked up two batches a week in his kitchen and kept his hard-drinking friends well supplied.
He once brewed one pale ale over and over for a year to get it right. In 2011, at a national conference of home brewers, he fell under the spell of a panel called ‘‘Going Pro.’’ Microbreweries and marijuana dispensaries aren’t the major drivers of Portland’s economy, but they loom much larger here than in most US cities. In both industries, small startups are thriving.
