Cheese & Beer in Wisconsin

Season 1 Episode 112 | 26m 46s

Wisconsin is known for its cheese — and its beer. Both serve as a guide to how German and Swiss immigrants shaped the culture of Wisconsin we enjoy today. We meet one of the first women to own a brewery, artisan cheesemakers whose grass-fed cows bring Wisconsin terroir to life.
