This week’s episode focuses on the city that host Joel calls home, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Both guests bring plenty of experience to the table, as Chris Drosner (also known as the Wisconsin Beer Baron) has been writing and talking about Wisconsin beer for many years in a variety of formats and publications, while Kathy Flanigan has transitioned from her career in writing (that included local beer) to now pouring beers at a popular local beer bar! The trio discuss a variety of topics, including how the history and culture of Brew City has had an impact on the craft beer scene, why there’s a hidden brewery incubator on the 2nd floor of a warehouse, and why a local brewery crowd sources beer recipes!

Brewery Travels is a podcast hosted by Joel Geier (aka Brewery Travels) that discusses a different city or region’s craft beer scene in each episode. Joel interviews two local experts, ranging from beer writers and beer bloggers to people working in the industry and even like-minded brewery adventurers.
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, as well as 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!
