This Week in Georgia Beer

This Week on Beer Guys Radio

This week… Variant Brewing. We sit down with Matt and Lauren Curling in their Roswell taproom to talk about what brought them to open a brewery, what’s coming up in the future, barrel-aging beers, and wall treatments and drapery choices.

Next Week… Pretoria Fields Collective.  We’re hitting the road and visiting some breweries in South Georgia.  While there we’ll chat with Pretoria Fields Collective in Albany and get the story behind Georgia’s first farm brewery.
