This Week in Georgia Beer

This Week on Beer Guys Radio

Red Brick Brewing Co.  We popped into Red Brick for their Airbrush Daydream release and sat down with Gavin McKenna and Garrett Lockhart to hear all about what a “Myrtle Beach-style IPA” is, get some education on cryo hops, talk about Whalez, balancing beer flavors, and find out what’s coming up from Atlanta’s oldest operating brewery.

Next Week… The BeeCraft Mead Company.  The Beer Guys have been known to dabble in mead.  We’re no experts but we know what we like, and we love to learn more about fermented beverages.  Derek Piper will join us to talk about Georgia’s newest meadery.
