Scofflaw’s Tap Room and brewery won’t officially open to the public until Sept. 17, but they’ve been testing it out in anticipation of opening.

JP Watts, Matt Shirah and the rest of the Scofflaw Brewing Company have been pretty busy.

 

Ahead of their Sept. 17th “official” tasting room opening in West Atlanta, the men behind Scofflaw have been going to bars and events to get the word out. And their brewers have been working overtime getting orders out.

So far, it’s worked. Scofflaw has created quite a buzz in the market in a short amount of time. And a very tired J.P. Watts and owner Matt Shirah joined us in the studio this week.

We talk to them about their start — from life in the corporate world, to running a beer bar in California to brewing in Matt’s mother in law’s house — to all the hard work of opening up Georgia’s newest brewery.

Truck and Tap‘s Beers of the Week ares some deliciousness from Scofflaw, including their Sneaky Wheat, Basement IPA and Interrogation Coffee stout.

We also had some other treats in store. Thanks to the city of Atlanta (finally) passing growlers-to-go, 5 Seasons Westside gave us 64 ounces in celebration.

Also, Eventide Brewing just released their seasonal Red Headed Haley, a 5.3% ABV, very drinkable red ale that they allowed us to get a sneak peek of.

Stogie Review blogger and friend of the show Brian Hewitt also stops by to give a review of a new release from Punch.
