The Rise of US Aquavit
“As the national spirit of Sweden, Norway and Denmark, aquavit (also known as aquavite, akvavit, akevitt or snaps) embodies an integral part of Scandinavian culture. Nordic households will often have a bottle of this spirit in the freezer ready for the holidays. Depending on the brand of in question, this clear spirit, distilled from either grains or potatoes, will contain notes of caraway, dill or both…
Although the spirit has traditionally been produced in Scandinavian countries, some U.S. distillers are now giving this iconic spirit a distinctly American makeover…
Check out these U.S.-based aquavit producers if you want to get a taste of the American take on this spirit.
Adrift Distillers (Long Beach, WA) produces a Danish style that begins with a neutral wheat base with strong notes of dill and caraway along with touches of anise, coriander, spruce tips, juniper and orange peel.”

Travel That Makes A Difference: Giving Back Where Kindness Counts
“Several months ago, Kind Traveler deepened its reach with the Every Stay Gives Back (ESGB) community impact program, which ensures that every guest-stay funds local charities in partnership with participating hotels and destinations. Regardless of where you book, 100 percent of funds raised are donated to participating charities.
Specific examples of community impact include… 9,141 hours of enrichment programs provided to students in an after-school program with Dylan Jude Harrell Community Center in Coastal Oregon & Washington, in partnership with Adrift Hospitality.”

Ocean Friendly Program “Softly” Expands
“Next year Surfrider will officially launch an Ocean Friendly Hotels (OFH) Program to recognize hotels that are cutting out single-use plastic and offer a simple framework to help them reach their Ocean Friendly goals. This program will function similarly to our nationally recognized and successful Ocean Friendly Restaurants Program, where hotels must follow a set of mandatory and optional criteria that focus on single-use plastic reduction, energy and water conservation, and more… [W]e welcomed Adrift Hotel and its 5 other locations to be a part of the soft launch. Chapter and Club leaders were able to experience an Ocean Friendly Hotel firsthand as the conference was graciously hosted at Adrift.”

[For] a more modern experience, opt for the Bowline Hotel, which also sits right above the river, offering unbeatable views.”

Washington Restaurant Serves The Best Loaded Fries In The State
“According to writers, Washington’s most delicious loaded fries are the dirty, dirty fries from Pickled Fish! Here’s why this eatery’s fries are getting the spotlight:
You could substitute the word ‘dirty’ for ‘delicious’ here, because the loaded fries dished up at seafood spot Pickled Fish are just that. The restaurant’s wonderfully named dirty dirty fries come with fat, crisp lardons, pickled peppers, goats’ cheese, and truffle ketchup. They are truly loaded – and highly recommended.”

AUGUST 2023 Visit Long Beach Peninsula

The four unique properties offer multiple ways to unwind in Pacific County. Adrift Hotel, Inn at Discovery Coast, Boardwalk Cottages, and historic Shelburne Hotel offer guests complimentary shared use of a relaxing spa and heated, saline pool.”

Shore Things – Oregon’s Pacific North Coast
“This route is for awe-seekers, foodies, and ’80s film buffs (you’ll recognize Cannon Beach from The Goonies). Start in Astoria, where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean, then meander down the coast toward Cannon Beach and Tillamook.
STAY: In Astoria, the Bowline Hotel features river views, barrel saunas, cozy fireplaces, and complimentary bikes.”

MARCH 2023 Travel Pulse
2023’s Most Influential Women in Travel – Tiffany Turner
“Tiffany Turner’s journey in the hospitality and tourism industry began at the age of 24. Turner and her husband owned one hotel, and she and her husband were its only employees. Since then, Adrift has grown to include eight properties with 150 employees.
Today, the Adrift portfolio encompasses boutique hotels, restaurants, and a grain-to-glass distillery. Not only does that make Adrift one of the largest employers in its county, but the company has also earned the daunting B Corp status, an exhaustive process that involves meeting the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance.”

MARCH 2023 Sip Magazine
“Another highlight of Adrift Hospitality’s approach is giving back to the communities it operates in through its Cocktail for a Cause program. Each month, a new libation is crafted specifically with a beneficiary in mind. A portion of proceeds from the drink’s sales, whether enjoyed at Bowline’s Knot Bar, Shelburne Hotel in Seaview or Pickled Fish in Long Beach, are donated to boost the chosen organization. Previous recipients include the Liberty Theatre in Astoria, the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum, Peninsula Wild Care and the Sou’wester Arts Week.“

MARCH 2023 SF Gate
“Checking into the beachfront Adrift Hotel feels like walking into someone’s fireplace-flickering living room that just happens to be stocked with all the locally roasted coffee, glass canisters filled with tea bags, and citrus-infused ice water you might need. One of a handful of Pacific Northwest hotels from Adrift Hospitality group, this nautical-themed property sits right at the start of the beach boardwalk, just a few steps from the sand. You’ll find bicycles to borrow and a barrel sauna onsite, hanging rope light fixtures in the rooms and a shared spa with sister property, the Inn at Discovery Coast. The onsite distillery and oceanview restaurant are well worth a visit (more on that later). Pro tip: There are different games on every floor of the hotel, so take the elevator up to find shuffleboard and the like. In pet-friendly rooms, amenities include a mini fridge, memory foam mattress and more.“

FEBRUARY 2023 Sip Magazine
“Adrift [Distillers] produces a variety of spirits ranging from vodka to whiskey, as well as popular liqueurs like Starvation Alley Cranberry Liqueur and Columbia River Coffee Liqueur. When possible, they use locally sourced ingredients to highlight the best of the region. Through their Collaborative Spirits Series, they work with local purveyors, farmers, roasters and brewers to create products that connect the community. “

FEBRUARY 2023 PDX Monthly
“… I stayed at the Bowline, a luxury 40-room hotel in a converted seafood processing plant which opened July 2021. The rooms are crafted with lofty ceilings, fireplaces, soaking tubs, and, to top it off, private balconies overlooking the Columbia River.

… The hotel’s Scandinavian-inspired Knot Bar was buzzing at all hours. If you’re looking for a late-night (or morning) drink, the bar’s menu has everything from a Smoking Gun—with mezcal, tequila reposado, and orange and cardamom bitters, to a grapefruit-infused Salty Dog.”

JANUARY 2023 The Fish Site
“Farmed seaweeds, including wakame, kombu, sea lettuce and dulse, are set to take centre stage at a new series of Oregon seafood events… Called Winter Waters, the dining series takes place across the state in February, partnering with chefs and tastemakers to celebrate regenerative seafood… Oregon coast partnerships include the Winter Waters Finale at The Salmonberry and two seated dinners at Nekst, plus menu specials at Buoy Beer, Local Ocean, Bowline Hotel, and The Schooner.”

“The Bowline Hotel is the town’s newest boutique hotel, and the Knot is its bar. Directly overlooking the Columbia with an incredible view of the ships, it’s a destination for both hotel guests and others in town. The Knot features a cocktail list of inventive drinks, like the slightly smoky agave cocktail Smoking Gun, or the olive oil-washed martini that uses Oregon vodka and vermouth. The pro move is to grab some snacks like the pickled carrots and warm bread, order a few drinks, and watch the ships go by. “

MAY 2022  Seattle Met
“The [Shelburne] Hotel has the vibe of one occupied by a ghost or two—stained-glass, claw-foot tubs, attic quarters. The billiards room and fire-lit parlor hearken back to when a hotel was meant to feel cozy. “

NOVEMBER 2021  Seattle PI
