Author: Better On Draft Podcast September 13, 2025 Duration: 1:06:29

Wendy and Rob talk to Derek from Unmapped Brewing outside Minneapolis, MN. 

You can learn more about Unmappd and plan a visit (maybe for one of their charity events, maybe for their to-be-determined winter parking lot event) by visiting https://unmappedbrewing.com/ 


NOTE: The brewery from Strange Brew is called Elsinore, not Excelsior like Rob thought.
