Craft Beer in the Twin Cities! In Episode 9 of Taproom Travelers we travel back to the Twin Cities to visit Boom Island Brewing in Minneapolis MN. When Kevin Welch, founder and head brewer, tasted his first Belgian tripel, it was a life-changing experience. He travelled to 13 breweries across Belgium, brewing side-by-side with the leading innovators in Belgian brewing. He then brought his knowledge home with a few yeast strains specific to the Belgian style. Kevin and the awesome team at Boom Island then started to craft Belgian Beer right here in the Midwest. You can learn more by watching our Boom Island Brewing episode, but we also recommend you make the trek to their Boom Room to experience their well crafted Belgian Beer for yourself!
