This week in Georgia beer | Feb. 5-11, 2016
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
We’re talking brewpubs. We visited 5 Seasons Westside and sat down with owner and Brewmaster Crawford Moran and John “JR” Roberts, co-owner and Brewmaster of Max Lager’s. Crawford and JR have been brewing in Georgia for over 20 years and have seen many changes and faced plenty of challenges in that time. They chat about getting into craft beer and brewing, opening their businesses, and their philosophies on brewing. After that things get interesting as we move onto the battle brewpubs face with Georgia’s laws and the right for brewpubs to sell beer to-go. Understandably Crawford and JR are definitely passionate about the topic, as you’ll see in our conversation. Listen live Saturday at 1:00 PM on Atlanta’s AM 920 The Answer (also on iHeartRadio) or listen on-demand via our website, Soundcloud, or your favorite podcasting app. Cheers!
