This Week in Georgia Beer | Feb. 26 – Mar. 3, 2016
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
Wrecking Bar Brewpub! Bob Sandage and Neal Engleman join us to talk about their awesome brewpub. We chat with Bob about getting into beer and brewing and making the seemingly crazy choice to renovate a 19th century mansion into a brewery, restaurant, and event space. The conversation moves on to the awards they’ve won in five short years as a part of Georgia’s brewing community and the unique festivals they host for craft beer fans. Neal talks with us about what’s coming up from Wrecking Bar and what he’d like to do in the future. For our Truck and Tap Beers of The week Bob and Neal share a couple of fantastic brews with us, Dr. Fünke’s Sour Pale Ale and Maltlanta Dopple Sticke. Besides great beer, Chef Terry Koval strives to create some of the best cuisine in Atlanta, and Neal shares how the kitchen and brewery motivate each other to be their best by consistently creating awesome beer and food. We ask Bob about Wrecking Barn Farm, his latest project which is a fully functioning farm that he hopes to turn into a production brewery. On that note we have to bring up Georgia’s crazy beer laws, and how that may impact future plans for Wrecking Barn. If you’ve never visited Wrecking Bar make sure to put it on your immediate to-do list, and check out our show if you need some extra convincing!
Beer Guys Radio 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!
