This Week in Georgia Beer | June 3-9, 2016
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
On this week’s show we talk with Monday Night Brewing! Jonathan Baker joins us in the studio to chat about the humble beginnings of Monday Night Brewing, what the heck is with all the neckties, and why exactly weekends are overrated. He brought us a crate (literally) full of beer to sample, including hours old Slap Fight IPA, World Beer Cup winners, and some amazing offerings from their super-rare Garage Club series. We asked how to join Garage Club and we got smoke and mirrors – but we suspect there are funny hats and handshakes involved. We also chat with Cary Fordyce from Oglethorpe County Chamber of Commerce about their reasons for actively seeking a brewery to locate there. We tell you the whale of the week, answer a homebrewing question, and give you the scoop on news and hot events.
