VIDEO: Brewing Forward


BREWING FORWARD👨🏽‍🌾 🍃 🍺
It’s 2024, and local craft beer no longer just comes in cans and taps, but from collaborations between farmers and brewers.
While many Wisconsin farmers grow hops for beer, a rising number are trying their luck with barley, to grow directly for local brewers. (Barley is what gives beer its flavor and aroma.)
Right now, there’s a test plot of winter barley growing in Chippewa County. We went to check it out!
