This week we head back to the Midwest and visit the metro area that borders Iowa and Illinois along the Mississippi River. Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa, and Moline and Rock Island in Illinois (as well as East Moline depending who you talk to) make up the Quad Cities. Joel talks with Brandon Mavis, founder of craftqc.com who currently also runs the QC Beer Club. They discuss a variety of topics, such as how beer has grown and changed in the area, the different local forms of media that cover craft beer, what flights they would build to represent the area, and much more!

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 Tuesdays, Brewery Travels is where you can get your fix if you enjoy a craft beer or traveling. Cheers!

DRINK LOCAL EVERYWHERE!
