This Week in Georgia Beer | May 26 – June 1, 2017
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
We’re talking with Left Nut Brewing Co.! Brewmaster Jason Ford and R&D wizard Rick Foote joined in the studio to talk about Gainesville’s first brewery. Jason talks about making the jump from working for commercial breweries such as SweetWater and Monday Night to making the jump to a startup brewery. We chat about how their first year-and-half has gone and what they expect in the future, and of course we talk about their controversial brewery name.
Next week we’re talking with Good Word Brewing and CRL Contracting! Show sponsor CRL Contracting recently announced their partnership with Good Word Brewing to build out their brewpub in Duluth. We talked briefly with Todd and Ryan from Good Word at the Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting this year and we figured it was time to give a more in-depth look at what’s coming up as things progress.
