   The Future of America's Beer Industry

   After 60 episodes of award-winning modern beer history, this is the final episode of Taplines. To send off the show, we're turning the Taplines Time Machine forward instead of backwards to speculate on how the American beer industry's past might inform its future with the inimitable historian and author of 'Ambitious Brew' Maureen Ogle. Maureen was our first guest, so it only makes sense that she'd be our last guest, too. Tune in one more time to hear her and Dave ponder what the U.S. beer business might look like 25 years from now. Don't forget to like, review, and subscribe! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
