This Week in Georgia Beer | Dec. 8-14, 2017
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
WINTER BEER WITH FISHSCALES AND CHEF LARA. This week we talk cold weather beers and sample some of the ones available in Georgia. FishScales from Nappy Roots and Chef Lara join us to talk about their new business venture, Healthy Bark. They’re making dog treats from spent grain with an eye on more sustainable brewing practices. Scales tells us a bit about Atlantucky brewing, and then we drink more beer.
WE’RE TALKING WITH STATS BREWPUB. STATS recently made the transition from a standard sports bar to a brewpub. We’ll chat with Brewmaster Austin Edwards about their new beer program and what’s on that for the pub.
