Suds & Grapes: Midwestern Craft Beer and Wine-cations

By: Jacky Runice

Beer and wine aren’t merely the drinks du jour of Sunday football parties and cheese-paired girlfriend get-togethers — the adult beverages can be the basis of fine fall getaway, near enough to be affordable and so low on the travel-hassle scale.

Combine an overnight with educational tours of burgeoning Midwestern craft breweries (that include plenty of sips) and sampling the fate of local grapes at wineries and tasting rooms. Add some of the most innovative food in the country and stunning autumn scenery and you have a mini-vacation that’s tasteful on all levels.
