Craft Beer and Cider….both wins for the agritourism industry. And it’s actually less about the alcohol and more about the sense of community and connection that it brings.
Dr. Alison Feeney is a Professor in the Geography and Earth Science Department at Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania. She blends work with pleasure as she travels around her state of Pennsylvania and beyond to research craft breweries, apple cider mills, and other spirit destinations.
Allison has been asked to research so many interesting topics around craft beer trails and the growth of experiential tourism. These types of tourism experiences have different names - we hear terms like gastronomic tourism, food tourism, agritourism, wine tourism, and beer tourism. We find ourselves traveling to farms, vineyards, breweries, cider mills, trade shows, and farmers markets to savor the foods and beverages, and immerse in local traditions, cultures, and communities.
During this podcast, Dr. Alison Feeney and I explore many of her craft beer and cider research projects and their findings. She has recommended destinations that are definitely worth a visit and craft beer favorites that you need to experience. Enjoy my intriguing conversation with Professor Alison Feeney while she takes us on a craft beer and cider journey.
