hoodrivernews.com Wednesday, January 29, 2020 A9 HOOD RIVER NEWS | Hood River, Ore. BUSINESS One Tree Hill opens downtown office One Tree Hill opened its new downtown Hood River location last week. Owner Lynda Webber said she is excited to have a street front lo- cation after starting her business in her home in early 2019. “While our goal is to continue to support our existing clients, we are able to welcome new clients to our convenient location on Third Street in downtown Hood River,” Webber said. One Tree Hill provides busi- ness consulting and other ser- vices. “We are equipped to guide clients through the processes of business start-ups, upsizing and downsizing, operations effi- ciencies, planning and strategy, as well as a variety of human Resources and talent acquisition services,” she said. For additional information, contact One Tree Hill Consulting at www.onetreehillconsulting. com. The company’s name is based on One Tree Hill Maungakieie, located in a 425-acre park in Auckland, New Zealand, where Webber, who is of Maori descent, grew up. Maungakiekie now is the home to a memorial showing respect to the Maori people. The land was at one time taken by the government but was returned to the Maori people in 2014.

And Beer Connoisseur went a step farther. “Our review is blind and greatly controlled in order to eliminate all bias. In our 10 years of publishing, there has not been another brew- ery that consistently re- ceives as many World Class and Exceptional ratings from our panel as pFriem,” wrote Lynn Davis, founder, editor and publisher of The Beer Connoisseur. “In fact, no other brewery even comes close. pFriem is unequivocally The Beer Connoisseur’s best brewery of all time,” Davis added. “This is not our editori- al opinion. This is a fact as demonstrated by the reviews. Congratulations to pFriem on earning my personal designation as The Beer Connoisseur ’s best brewery of all time!” The brewery was named Brewery of the Year and Best Brewpub Experience in the 2018 Oregon Beer Awards, and has won numerous med- als from Great American Beer Festival, Brussels Ale Festival, and more. The tasting room will close Feb. 18-21 for a remodel and re-open for regular service at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 22 for the annual statewide beer tour Zwickelmania, a day when it is likely to be as packed as ever. pFriem fills the entire Hal- yard Building on Portway Av- enue in the waterfront busi- ness district and is close to finishing its new production facility in Cascade Locks.
