This Week in Georgia Beer | March 3-9, 2017
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
We’re talking with Hopstix Brewpub! Owner Andy Tan and Head Brewer Chris Collier joined us in the studio this week to talk about Georgia’s newest brewpub. With a mix of Asian-fusion cuisine, tasty house-brewed beer, lots of guest taps, and a nice spirits selection they have something for everyone. We took a trip there after the show taping this week and we highly recommend it.
Next week we’re talking with The Porter Beer Bar! Molly Gunn and Nick Rutherford will join us to talk about their amazing beer bar. Voted best in Georgia and the US many times over, their spot should be on every beer geek’s destination list.
