This Week in Georgia Beer | June 2-8, 2017
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
We’re talking with Good Word Brewing and CRL Contracting! Todd DiMatteo and Ryan Skinner from Good Word joined us briefly at the Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting and as their brewpub moves closer to completion we wanted them to share a bit more with us. Sean Roach and Anthony Storey from CRL Contracting (one of our awesome sponsors) are working with Good Word on construction of the brewpub and they joined us to talk a bit about the project as well as what they do to serve Georgia’s breweries. It’s a full-blown party this week and our friends Morgan and Lisa Maclellan from Your Pie Perimeter (another one of our great sponsors) dropped by with some pizzas for everyone.
Next week we’re talking with Yellowhammer Brewing! Brewery Co-owner and Brewmaster Keith Yager will join us to talk about his Huntsville, AL brewery and what’s in store from them.
