Meet your Hosts
Great Dane Brewing KK, the Japanese offshoot of one of Wisconsin’s most successful and respected brewpub groups, created the Rascal Trail as a living link between Wisconsin and Japan.
The initiative is a partnership with the Japan America Society of Wisconsin and the Sterling North Society, which serves as steward of Sterling North’s legacy.
