This Week in Georgia Beer | Oct. 20-26, 2017
This Week on Beer Guys Radio
We’re talking with Georgia Senator and gubernatorial candidate Hunter Hill. Senator Hill was instrumental in the passage of SB63 in 2015, which opened the door for SB85’s passage this year. We talk about our current laws, what recent changes mean for Georgia beer, and what still needs to change to make the business climate more welcoming to brewers.
Next week we’re talking with Modern Hops. As laws change and breweries continue to open many want a choice outside of the Big Beer distributors to partner with. Modern Hops is one of Georgia’s small, independent distributors and they’ll join us to talk about what that means for a brewer.
