Minneapolis/St. Paul Magazine's Dara Moskowitz-Grumdahl brings her extensive knowledge of the Midwest dining scene to Eating and Drinking.

This week, Dara stops by The Current's Morning Show to talk about a budget-friendly spring break idea: Go out and explore the taprooms in greater Minnesota.

The taproom revolution has changed Minneapolis and St. Paul, but it has also changed the landscape in the wider region. Dara suggests road trips to these taprooms that are further afield and make for fun overnight getaways:

Red Wing, Minn. — Red Wing Brewing Company

Wabasha, Minn. — Reads Landing Brewing Company

Winona, Minn. — Wenonah Brewing Company

Marshall, Minn. — Brau Brothers

Nisswa, Minn. — Gull Dam Brewing

Listen to the complete interview to hear more about these taprooms' menu offerings and other attractions located nearby.
