What happened after Food Paradise?

In the 'Paradise University' episode (S15E12), the show featured Wolverine State Brewing Co., a brewery and taproom in Ann Arbor, Michigan built around German-style lagers brewed on site. The business operated its taproom on West Stadium Boulevard near the University of Michigan campus. A Google Places listing checked 2026-09-08 marks the Stadium Boulevard location permanently closed, and according to the brewery's own website, also checked 2026-09-08, 'the Tap Room is currently closed but we're still brewing delicious beer,' with visitors directed instead toward retail and wholesale channels for the beer. The website lists no current public taproom address, and no hours, ordering system, or 2026-dated content point to a replacement tasting room open to the public as of the September 2026 check.
