What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's 'Passport on a Plate' episode featured Old Town Beer Hall, a Bavarian-style beer hall in Germantown, Wisconsin, that poured German draft beer and served old-world German food in a renovated space with expanded social seating. OnMilwaukee reported that the business began as Old Town Inn, closed for a $75,000 renovation, and reopened as Old Town Beer Hall in 2015 with the beer-hall concept and live-band programming. A Tripadvisor reviewer later noted the name had reverted to Jerry's Old Town Inn, under different ownership than the original Jerry, by 2018.

Yelp's listing for Jerry's Old Town Inn, on Main Street in Germantown, was marked permanently closed, with an update dated August 2026. A separate business, Von Rothenburg Bier Stube, now occupies a nearby Main Street address and was operating with a live, current website on 2026-09-08, but no source located confirms it as a continuation of the featured business.
