\\nThis week\\u2019s edition of Mother Road Monday on KVOI\\u2019s Wake Up Tucson once again featured the Tower Station IPA from Mother Road Brewing Company!
\\n
\\nMother Road\\u2019s Michael Marquess shared a fun story about how a 12-pack of Tower Station recently found itself in the hands of Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers. Is there a connection between what Michael calls the higher carbonation and citrus notes of the Tower Station and the Badger State\'s iconic cheeses? Listen and learn!
\\n
\\nMac, cheese, IPA!
\\n
\\nWe also heard from A.J. Mortazavi, executive chef of The Barnyard Crafthouse & Eatery, who brought some dishes to pair with this scrumptious IPA.
\\n
\\nPrime steaks and hoppy brews...for breakfast!
\\n
\\nThe first was a bacon and caramelized onion mac and cheese (cheese again!).
\\n
\\nThe second was a prime New York strip with wood-fired and smoked vegetables and smashed potatoes with sour cream and bacon jam.
\\n
\\nHe really likes the way these dishes with "a high fat content" work with the Tower Station.
\\n
\\nHow was it? Take a listen here to find out!
\\n
\\nTune in every Monday morning in October and November, at 7:00 am, for Mother Road Monday!
