This Week in Georgia Beer | April 7-13, 2017
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
This week we’re talking with Rocket Republic Brewing Company! The crew from Rocket Republic took a road trip to Atlanta and joined us in the studio this week to chat and share some brews. Eric, Brad, Gavin, and David shared the story of how they got started, what they’re goals are as a brewery, why their steampunk taproom rules, and other fun facts. We drank a lot of their beers and they were all great, but I gotta say that the Coffee Cream Ale and Blood Orange Berliner were amazing. They showed us once again why Huntsville is an awesome little beer town.
Next week we’re back on the road at the Classic City Brew Fest! We head to Athens this weekend to record next week’s show. We’ll talk with Owen Ogletree about the festival and have a couple other surprise guests. If you’re at the brew fest stop by and say hi.
