This week in Georgia Beer | Dec. 16-22, 2016

This Week on Beer Guys Radio

We talk with Huntsville’s Mad Malts Brewing!  Co-founders Chris Bramon and Jeff Peck join us on the Ale Line to talk beer.  Jeff and Chris chat with us about how they got into craft beer and brewing, having to change the name of their brewery, and their passion for the maltier side of craft beer.  We talk about Huntsville and beer laws and the growth that Alabama beer has seen with recent changes.

Next week we’re taking some time off for Christmas.  We’ll still have a great show for you, with a sampling of some of our favorite interviews from the year.
