Rebecca Bierden shares how she and her husband Nathan left their medical careers, traveled the world for two years, then built Vicious Cycle Brewery in Fraser from the ground up. Their brewery name encourages people to break routine and try new things, reflecting their own life-changing journey from healthcare professionals to craft beer entrepreneurs.
• Left established medical careers due to burnout after four years in the healthcare field
• Sold everything they owned to travel the world for two years before returning to Colorado
• Built the brewery themselves when their contractor backed out, learning construction skills like tiling and drywalling
• Offer four signature beers plus rotating experimental brews, including collaborations with employees
• Located on the Fraser Valley bike trail, making summers their busiest season
• Host regular community events including Monday trivia nights and Thursday run club
• Recently added the Wicked Cheesy food truck serving gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches
• Expanded to a brewpub license allowing them to offer canned wine, cider and cocktails
