About this episode

Nigel and Nick explore a historic saloon in Excelsior Springs, discussing craft beer and local culture with guests Keith Hudson and Lindsay.

Nigel and Nick roll into a bar built by Schlitz in 1894, still pouring beer in downtown Excelsior Springs. Brewer Keith Hudson and Main Street director Lindsay pull up a chair to talk homebrew clubs, Missouri's oddly generous liquor laws, and how craft beer turned a sketchy downtown bar into a destination. Grab a beer, this one runs long and it's worth it.
