This week, I sit down with Nat West, founder and former CEO of Reverend Nat's Hard Cider, a pioneering craft cider company in Portland, Oregon. Over 12 years, Nat helped shape the city's thriving cider scene before making the bold decision to close his business, despite its post-pandemic stability. Seeking a change, Nat spent six months driving a public city bus—a dream he'd always had—and rediscovered his love for Portland, a city (my city) often misunderstood in national media. Inspired by this experience, a friend encouraged him to run for city council during a pivotal moment of governmental restructuring in Portland. Though we don't always agree on the solutions, I admire Nat's passion for public service and his unique entrepreneurial perspective. In this conversation, we explore what motivates someone to shift from business to public service and what it's like to be on the cusp of a new political journey. Let's get to it.  In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (06:02) - The art and science of cider-making (11:51) - Growing the business vs enjoying the craft (14:20) - On the importance of marketing (20:34) - Challenges and changes during the pandemic (32:25) - The moment Nat realized it was time to move on (36:40) - Nat's approach to building culture in his team (49:17) - Moving on from a business (54:47) - Seeing the city as a bus driver (01:08:02) - Running for city council (01:15:21) - Defining the role of a city councilor (01:19:02) - Nat's collaborative approach to politics (01:22:49) - Challenges and opportunities for small businesses (01:25:36) - A vision for Portland's future (01:39:56) - Nat's beautiful future (01:43:14) - Who Nat is becoming Get full show notes and links at https://GoodWorkShow.com.

Nat West is known as "Reverend Nat", the name of the successful cider business he built over the past 12 years. Now a part-time TriMet bus driver, West wants to represent City Council District 2 (N/NE) on Portland's new 12-member city council. In this episode, we talked about:All the bikes Nat has owned throughout his life.His adventures collecting apples for his ciders by bike. How defending a friend's business trademark against the City of Portland lit his fire for political activism. His experiences as a regular participant in the George Floyd protests in Summer of 2020, and why he would do it all over again — even though he and his daughter were seriously injured by police munitions.How he'll balance activism and idealism with the realities of political office.Why he feels small businesses are worth fighting for.Why he thinks PBOT should focus more on maintenance and less on "shiny new infrastructure."His views on what's wrong (and right) with policing and how he'd reform the Portland Police Bureau. And of course we talk about cider and much more!Links:Nat West for Portland campaign website

Reverend Nat's Cider (http://reverendnatshardcider.com) has helped change peoples' assumptions about craft cider in the Pacific Northwest, over their past 12 years of operation. The iconoclastic cider maker has adopted a flavor-forward, reverential-but-forward-looking approach to cider making that has ruffled some feathers and changed default narratives, but one thing it's never been is boring or cautious. A few weeks ago, West announced that he was winding down operations of Reverend Nat's Cider. Rather than let that experience and perspective fade into the ether, we engaged with Nat to capture his creative approach to cider making in a way that could be preserved for perpetuity. In this episode, West discusses: his beer-centric approach to cider making flavor and innovation within the very locally-focused cider sector making cider with beer yeast and selecting yeasts that work with the flavors of cider using hazy IPA yeast in cider making filtration and stability in cider achievements and regrets after a dozen years of making cider commercially approaching the closure with intention and passion And more.

Elegast Cidery Beginnings Arjen Meeusem shares his story of living in Portland, Oregon and how a stop at Reverend Nat's Hard Cider to taste the cider inspired him to find out more about this niche market and its viability to make cider in the Netherlands. Arjen Meeuwsen outside the estate based cidery Arjen and his business partners began their cidery in an old green house and then moved to their current location in a 250 square meter shed and utilize the outdoor space for storing their cider. In 2022, the cidery is expanded with a new tasting room and expand production area just outside of Amsterdam set to be open in the summer. Elegast's goal is to use the rising interest in cider to help steer consumers to drink cider to help the orchards aka Drink Cider ~ Save Orchards! Elegast Ciders and Seasonal Offerings Elegast's Saison Cider is a lovely frothy cider with a nod to Saison beers with a cider structure all its own. The goal is to balance the acidity and boost the profile so that there is enough mouthfeel to entice the drinker despite the lack of tannins in the current apples now growing in the Netherlands. The cidery has access to old estate orchards with trees dating back to 1939, which is actually an Unesco Heritage Site marking the demarcation line and trenches used during the World War I. All of Elegast Ciders can be drunk year round, but some might find your palate requesting them during select months. Barrel Aged Ciders - Elegast has a range of barrel aged ciders that can be drunk in the winter and equally enjoyed by fans on a chilly spring, summer or fall evening. Fruit Cider Series - Whole fruits are co-fermented and macerated to incorporate the taste and color of the skin and fruit And excellent cider for the Spring and Summer Terroir Series - Apples from specific orchards and allowed to ferment with the ambient yeast or what is often referred to as  spontaneous yeasts Contact for Elegast Cidery Website: https://elegastcider.nl/ Address: Hoorneboeg 4a, 1213 RE Hilversum, Netherlands Mentions in this Chat Gary Flowers Richmond Virginia's Jackson Ward Tour Guide and multi media star and host of the Gary Flowers Show Peariodic Table of Pome Fruit commissioned by Randal Grahm - Put your name into the drawing for Patrons of Cider Chat by becoming a Patron at the Cider Chat Patreon Page for members at the $5 and up level.

What we call people says a lot about what they mean to us and how we feel about them.  Often times, we have special names for the people who are the closest to us. The same is true for God.  In church we hear "Our Father", we've asked the Reverend  Nathaniel Katz and you all to answer the question "Is God Our Parent?"The Rev. Nat Katz has gone by many titles since becoming an Episcopal priest – “Reverend Nat”, “Father Nat”, and “Pastor Nat.”  Since joining the staff at the American Cathedral in Paris, he's been called “Canon Nat,” which he's come to like a lot.  But his favorite and most important title, which is for absolutely everyone to claim (even you) is “Child of God.”Do you have questions about God or Jesus or about being a Christian? We are answering them along with some great guest writers in our series "What Do We Know?" Send us a voice memo or have your parents write us an email at hopeandjoypodcast@gmail.com if you want us to answer one of your questions!You can follow all our news on Facebook and Instagram and if you're enjoying the show, please remember to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

The excitement of Cider Week NYC continues. Jenn Smith, Eleanor Leger, Kyle Sherrer, Gidon Coll, and Ron Sansone stay in the studio to continue their conversation about the trajectory of the cider industry, cider’s variation across regions, and cider’s role in the food and agriculture sector. Reverend Nat calls in from Portland Oregon. He recognizes how unique Portland’s cider scene is but has a clear message for the industry at large: ‘Educate, educate, educate!’ This will be made possible by new organizations like CINA: the Cider Institute of North America. Nick Gunn, the co-founder of Cider Con calls in to tell us more about it. In the meantime the question remains: what is the market ready for and what path will this developing industry follow?

Whether its getting outside in the darkest time of year for a European-style light festival, hearing music from one of Portland's premiere Americana stars, or meeting Portland's brand new city commissioner, Chloe Eudaly, this week's show is guaranteed to warm your soul.Chloe Eudaly on Her Big Step from Indie Bookstore Owner to City Commissioner - 1:23Chloe Eudaly started work as Portland’s newest commissioner amid a winter weather event that shut down city offices. In a town wracked by tumultuous gentrification, Eudaly is a single mom, a renter, and an eastsider who beat a much better-funded incumbent. In her first act as Commissioner, Eudaly has put up a proposal requiring landlords to pay relocation costs when tenants are evicted without cause that will go before council on Feb. 2. The Portland Winter Light Festival Shines Away the S.A.D. - 11:08You can stay in and be cozy at this time of year; no one would blame you. But the Portland Winter Lights Festival is giving you a reason to head outside on Feb. 1–4. Now in its second year, the fest fills Portland's waterfront between OMSI and the Zidell Yards with flashing drones, epics projections, other crazy light art and free events to celebrate the spirit of winter and the warmth of community. What It Takes to Design an Iconic Album Cover - 17:32So much goes into the making of a great record, but sometimes it’s the album art that bumps a great record into the realm of the iconic. Think about the collection of famous faces on the front of the Beatles “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band” or that baby bobbing in the pool on the cover of Nirvana’s "Nevermind," or that very trippy prism on Pink Floyd’s "Dark Side of the Moon." Portland is home to many artists, and opbmusic welcomed two innovative designers, Orion Landau of the indie metal record label Relapse and Aaron Draplin of Draplin Design Company, into the studio to chat about their careers and which album covers inspire them. PDX Jazz Brings Music and Art to the Classroom - 24:54How do you get kids to understand a musical form that has no rules, no walls? Art can help. Volunteers with PDX Jazz have spent the winter fanning out in metro-area schools, playing music for kids and talking to them about jazz history. Teachers like Katie Robinson at Boise-Eliot/Humboldt then work with the kids on designing jazz album covers. All the students’ work will be part of a Feb. 7 art show at the Ace Hotel's event space, The Cleaners, in Portland. Douglas County Voters Grapple with their Vote to Close the Libraries - 28:39As a kid, do you remember trips to the library? Story time? Or maybe you stop by as an adult to get books and movies or use the computers. Douglas County readers will no longer have that option. In the November election, they failed to pass a measure that would create a special taxing district to fund the libraries, and now all of the branches of the Douglas County Library System, centered around Roseburg, will close by the end of May. Live Music from Americana Chameleon Tony Furtado - 34:46Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tony Furtado is an Americana chameleon. He effortlessly shifts between bluegrass, folk, blues, old time, and rock sounds. It’s a fascinating career arc that was beautifully captured in his most recent release, a live album called “Cider House Sessions” recorded at Portland’s Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider. Writer Sallie Tisdale on Mining the Deeply Personal - 40:31The Portland writer Sallie Tisdale is one of Oregon’s true literary treasures. She’s the author of eight books, including “Talk Dirty to Me” and “Stepping Westward,” but she is first and foremost an essayist — someone who can make art out of her process of trying to make sense of the world. Her latest book, "Violation," is a collection of essays that she wrote over the past three decades.
