This Week in Georgia Beer | April 8-14, 2016
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
We’re talking with Josh Rachel of Alpharetta’s Jekyll Brewing. Josh talks with us about Jekyll’s philosophy on brewing and what we may see from them in the future. We discuss how breweries are involved with their communities and are much more than just a place to grab a beer. A few Jekyll brews were shared including their Fixin’ To Session IPA, Pineapple Habanero Hop Dang Diggity and a vintage 2014 bottle of OTG Barleywine. We chat a bit about the pending regulation changes and what that will mean for Jekyll, and how they work around the clock on a 10-barrel brew house to make sure the beer keeps flowing.
Listen to Beer Guys Radio live at 1:00 PM Saturday on AM 920, or for you early-risers catch us Sunday at 6:00 AM on Biz 1190. If you’re outside the Atlanta area you can stream the show via our website, iHeartRadio, or TuneIn. Can’t catch the live show? That’s cool, we’ve got you covered.
