This Week in Georgia Beer (Dec. 2-8, 2016)
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
We talk Winter Beers with Dry County Brewing Company! Trey, Coop, and Barron join us in the studio to talk about their brewery in Kennesaw, GA and some of the awesome beers available in the colder months. We chat about their move from a contract brewer to having their own brewery, the growth of craft beer culture in Kennesaw, their goals as a brewery, and a lot more. We also offer our recommendations for Fall/Winter beers and drink a few in the process, including Dry County’s Bad Hombre and Chocolate Porter.
Next week we’ll talk with Tom Fennel from Fannin Brewing Company. Fannin is a small brewery tucked away in Blue Ridge, GA. We’ll chat with Tom about craft beer in the area and what he sees for the future of his brewery.
