The BrewsLine Roadshow: Tasting America’s Craft Breweries – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Centuries ago, this part of the Midwest was a wild expanse of wet forest and marsh stretching across a million acres, and early settlers who slogged through the muck and mosquitoes called the place the Great Black Swamp. The swamp's history inspired flagship beers such as Mosquito Red Ale , Bullfrog Stout and Wild Duck IPA. I met with Andy and Tom and learned about Toledo's Great Black Swamp Brewery's history and commitment to making quality beer and creating community.
