Bottoms Up: Wisconsin's Historic Bars and Breweries

Take a trip through Wisconsin's bar and brewing history. Starting with stagecoach taverns, see the evolution of saloons, the growth of big brewing, prohibition's effects and the rise of theme bars and craft brewers. Visits to historic taverns show the relationship between bars and breweries, and how cultural traditions made Wisconsin a "tavern state." #bars #brewery #craftbeer #history #wisconsin 0:00 Stagecoach Taverns 10:04 Early Breweries 12:49 Neighborhood Saloon 17:04 Tied Houses 23:29 Prohibition 31:51 Beer and Bars Come Back 42:26 Big Brewing and Theme Bars 50:50 Small Brewing and the Craft Beer Movement Watch this program on YouTube anytime online and on the free PBS app on all streaming devices: https://pbswisconsin.org/watch/pbs-wi...
