Travel 2016, Issue 24

This issue, we decided to dig a little deeper into the brewniverse to uncover some lesser-known yet bustling beer scenes: We journey north to Grand Rapids, home to far more than just Founders, venture all the way to the Baltic for a look at the up-and-coming Estonian craft beer scene, stop in Poland for some traditional recipes and pairings straight from the heartland, and enjoy a change of pace in the fresh air and earthy vibe of Wyoming's Grand Teton Brewing with head brewer Rob Mullin.

We'll also chat about the cultural effect craft is having on the world with an American beer icon, Bob Leggett, who has been bringing the US some of the world's best beer for over four decades with Arisanal Imports.

In keeping with our global theme, we've got expert reviews for styles that span the globe along with corresponding Brewer Q & As from some of the finest minds in brewing.

So whether you're on a flight or sipping a flight, enjoy the 24th issue of The Beer Connoisseur!
