This Week in Georgia Beer | Sep. 16-22, 2016
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
We’re talking to Wild Heaven Craft Beers and Cigar City Brewing! That’s right, we’ve got a 2-for-1 deal for you this week. We sit down at Wild Heaven’s Avondale Estates brewery with Brewmaster Eric Johnson and special guest Wayne Wambles, Brewmaster of Tampa, FL’s Cigar City Brewing. Eric and Wayne brewed up a collaboration beer and it sounds amazing, listen in for all the details as they are actually brewing three different variations on the beer and then blending them back together. We talk with Eric more about how he ended up a brewer, why Wild Heaven is making the move to cans, and about some of the awesome wild and barrel aged beers they’ve got coming up soon.
Next week we’re chatting with Cherry Street Brewing Co-op! Founder and Brewmaster Nick Tanner will join us in the studio to talk about his awesome brewpub way up north of Atlanta in Cumming, GA. They’re making some amazing beers and have a great space to hang out and enjoy a pint or five.
