Week in Georgia BeerThis Week in Georgia Beer

For this week’s show we’re live at Truck & Tap in Woodstock and Owen Ogletree joins us to talk about the many changes he’s seen in the Georgia craft beer community over the last 20 years and shares some info on his upcoming event, Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting.  We preview (drink) a few beers from Lake Country Brewing, slated to open in Greensboro in Spring of this year.  Zach Yurchuck tells us about starting Truck & Tap, what they have to offer, and their reception in Woodstock.  Spencer Nix from Reformation was enjoying some BBQ while we were recording so we pulled him into the show to chat for a few minutes about what’s coming up.  Finally we give some info on what to expect from this year’s beer bill, which should be filed in the House very soon.  Make sure to tune in!
