This Week in Georgia Beer | Feb. 19-25, 2016
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
We’re talking homebrewing! We talk with Scott Lathrop about his homebrew, the Covert Hops Society, and next weekend’s Peach State Brew Off homebrew competition. We’re also joined in studio by “Agent Bob” Southard, who brews as Bobzilla Brew and is President of the Woodstock Malt Monkeys. Bob chats with us about how he got into homebrew, what he likes to brew, some very cool awards he’s won, and about his homebrew club. We also crack open a few of his homebrews, including the latest version of his Caramel Creme ale, winner of the Peach State Brew Off People’s Choice award. Our friend Jon Shari of Little Cottage Brewery (who we chatted with on our first episode) sent a couple of beers for us to try and we opened his Copra Cacao, an awesome chocolate coconut stout. If you’re interested in joining a homebrew club there’s sure to be one close to you, check out our list of Atlanta area homebrew clubs for more info.
The show is LIVE at 1:00 PM every Saturday on Atlanta’s AM 920 The Answer, streaming online or via iHeartRadio, or catch us on-demand on our website, Soundcloud, or your favorite podcasting app. Cheers!
