This Week in Georgia Beer | Dec. 30, 2016 – Jan. 5, 2017
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
We share the results of our Best of Georgia Beer 2016 Survey! With nearly 1,000 responses to the survey we received a great response from Georgia’s craft beer fans. We’ll share your favorite new beers and breweries from 2016 as well as all-around favorite breweries, brewpubs, beer bars, and bottle shops. We’ll also take a look back at 2016 and some of the notable events of the year. If you miss the show (you shouldn’t) we’ll also post the results on beerguysradio.com at 2:00 PM Eastern.
Next week we’ll chat with Woodstock’s Reformation Brewery. Way back in 2015 we talked with Reformation for one of our online-only pre-launch episodes. A lot has changed for both us and Reformation in that time, so we think it’s time we get them on for an official episode and see what they’ve been up to.
