THIS WEEK ON BEER GUYS RADIO
This is a show you won’t want to miss, we’re talking beer law. Nancy Palmer, Executive Director of the Georgia Craft Brewers Guild, joins us to talk about where we stand with our current laws, the mess that was 2015, and where we need to go in 2016. We’ll also talk with Matt Leff, founder of Nuit Belge, about this amazing event pairing Belgian beers and gourmet food – and we’ll give away a pair of passes to one lucky winner. In remembrance of what once was, we enjoy a 2014 Burnt Hickory Killdozer that Tim acquired at the Midnight release on July 1st, celebrating the implementation of SB63 before that was crushed by the DoR’s policy bulletin.
