This Week in Georgia Beer | July 1-7, 2016
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
We talk to Harris Stewart from Birmingham’s Trim Tab Brewing. Harris talks about his passion for beer pulling him away from law school to start a brewery and what his mission is with his brewery. We chat about his commitment to local art and music, and his performances at the tasting room as DJ Sex Panther. Harris shares what’s coming up from Trim Tab for limited releases and future plans for beer in cans. Of course we drink some of their great bees including their IPA and Barrel-Aged Pillar to Post Rye Brown.
Enemy of the show Brian Hewitt stops by, back from a recent trip to Portland. We talk about the beer scene in the great Northwest and open some beers from de Garde, Boneyard, and Block 15. To round out the crew Mike O’Sullivan from Taproom Press drops by to chat and share some brews.
