This Week in Georgia Beer | July 15-21, 2016
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
We talk to Cahaba Brewing‘s Eric Meyer and Ale Sharpton joins us in the studio. We interrupted Eric Meyer doing some tax work (he didn’t seem to mind the break) to talk about their beer, their amazing growth over the last few years, and the boom in craft beer in Birmingham. Fresh in from Detroit, Ale Sharpton joined us in the studio to chat with Cahaba and fill us in on what he’s been up to lately and to share some beers he brought back. We also had a visit from our friend Jarrett Walker from Bell’s Brewery to hang out and share some brews with us. We had a full house and an awesome time.
