Show Notes
Appleton is a thriving brewing community and we've brought two other local brewers to prove it: Steve Lonsway of Stone Arch Brewpub and Oliver Behm of Hop Yard Ale Works. Gary, Bobby, and Allison host a round table with the two fellow brewers to discuss how they got their start, what their specialties are, and what they give guests who ask for the closest thing to Budlight.
