This Week in Georgia Beer | May 13-19, 2016
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
On this week’s show… SweetWater and Adam Carolla. On the beer side, Nick Nock, Head Brewer for SweetWater Brewing joins us in the Beer Guys Radio studios. We talk about the rise of the South’s largest craft brewer, the beers, and the challenges facing the iconic Georgia beer. Nick shares some of his Goin’ Coastal IPA with us, and we share a surprise beer with Nick.
We’ll also talk to comedian, podcaster, author and TV star Adam Carolla. You may know that he sells an amped-up version of Sangria (Mangria). But he’s also a craft beer fan, so when California’s King Harbor Brewing Company approached him about a collaboration, he jumped. We’ll talk about how he got into craft beer, and the possibility of a passionfruit-infused beer coming up next.
