This Week on Beer Guys Radio

Georgia Beer

We’re talking with the Marietta, GA’s Ironmonger Brewing!  Owner David Sheets and Head Brewer Barron Slüder joined us in the studio this week to talk about their brewery.  Barron recently joined the team after his departure from Kennesaw’s Dry County Brewing Company and is excited to be a part of the team.  We sample a lot of their beers as we talk about how they got started, the Marietta beer scene, their upcoming concert venue, and what the passage of Sb 85 would mean for their business.  David also owns Naughty Soda which is connected to Ironmonger so if you want some hard sodas and beer they’ve got one stop shopping.

Next week we’re talking with Gulf Shores, AL’s Big Beach Brewing.  Big Beach is one of the new kids on the block but they’ve been making waves in Alabama.  Winner in three separate categories in our Best of Alabama Beer 2016 poll, they’re obviously doing something right.

SB 85 UPDATE: SB 85 passed the House Regulated Industries Committee unanimously and is currently on the general calendar to be called up for a vote.  There’s no set timeline when that might happen.  There was a substitute bill adding language for distilleries to SB 85 to allow up to 500 barrels per year direct sales and a limit of 3 bottles per day per person to go.  For more info see our full coverage of SB 85 here.
