Welcome to the Windy City! Joel welcomes on Chicago Tribune beer writer and author Josh Noel, and Mike Zoller, the Chicago editor and writer of porchdrinking.com. They tackle the massive beer scene of Chicago, talking about the layout of the 200+ breweries in the metro area, the impact of Goose Island pre and post sale, why Chicago breweries have had great success at winning medals for Hazy IPAs, and many other topics.

Joel has visited over 700 breweries across 44 states plus Washington D.C. and has been able to make connections with many amazing individuals because of his travels. He is currently living on the road with his family, constantly “exploring more content and doing extensive research” (which just means visiting breweries and drinking beer)! The goal of Brewery Travels is to provide more information about craft beer scenes from around the country and shine a light on some of the excellent individual breweries that call these cities home.
From Portland, Maine to San Diego, California. Austin, Texas to Duluth, Minnesota. The bright lights of New York City to the farmland of rural Iowa. Brewery Travels plans to run the gauntlet of locations, providing in-depth information on as many places as possible. With episodes coming out weekly on Thursdays, Brewery Travels is where you can get your fix if you enjoy a craft beer or traveling. Cheers!
