Southern New Hampshire is one area that Joel has previously lived in during his wife’s first stint as a travel nurse. But that was back in 2017, and so to get more information on how the scene has changed and grown since then, Joel invites on two local craft beer/brewery fanatics, Jim Sarette and Ryan Milligan. Both have been following the beer scene there for many years and spent time traveling to all the amazing taprooms the area has to offer. Topics range from how Portsmouth developed a strong beer culture to how the national perspective of New Hampshire’s breweries differs from neighboring states.

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!
