This Week in Georgia Beer | April 13-19, 2018
Coming Up from Beer Guys Radio
This week the amazing beer writer Stan Hieronymus joined us to talk all things hops. Stan shared some insight into the newest developments in hops, blending hops to mimic other hops, isomerization and altitude, and the hop compounds we’re not paying attention to, but should be. We also suck up to South Dakota, tune in to find out why.
Next week we’ll be joined by the folks at Akademia Brewing Co. live from Classic City Brew Fest in Athens, GA. We chatted with these guys at last year’s Tinypalooza, before they opened their brewpub. Now that they’re open we’ll get more info on what’s happening at Akademia now and what’s coming up.
Don’t forget! We’re giving away a membership to SweetWater’s Woodlands Circle ($149 value) on 04/21. Click here for more details and to enter.
