We are kicking off Season 2 with a long overdue episode with Matt Holton and Robby Reisdorf from Wandering Leaf Brewing in St. Paul. You're going to need more than one pint for this one! We take a few detours, but that's part of the fun! We chat about the origins of Wandering Leaf, their approach to making good beer, the community they've built around the brewery, and plenty of other things that may or may not have anything to do with beer!

EPISODE BEERS (from Wandering Leaf Brewing):
Märzen, Festbier, Propagation Pils, Stump Thumping.... honestly, we lost track of all the delicious things we consumed while recording this.

From Minnesota to Texas and back again, this episode of The Brewery Adventure is all about finding great beer wherever the road takes you.

We catch up on a few happenings around the Twin Cities, including Dangerous Man's return, Pride Dabbler, and World Cup watch parties at La Doña Cervecería.

Then it's off to Dallas where Courtney turned a work trip into a mini beercation with stops at Peticolas Brewing Company, Manhattan Project Beer Co., and Pegasus City Brewing. 

Back in Minnesota, we look ahead to upcoming events, especially All Pints North as they announced this year's festival will be the last one held in Duluth.
