This Week in Georgia Beer | June 1-7, 2018
Coming Up from Beer Guys Radio
This week we’re talking with Stowe, Vermont’s von Trapp Brewing. Deep in hazy IPA country, von Trapp is brewing crystal-clear lagers. Their small brewery started in the lower level of the Trapp Family Lodge and has grown to produce 50,000 barrels of beer per year. Brewmaster JP Williams joins us to talk all things lager.
Next week we’re joined by Hardywood Park Craft Brewery from Richmond, VA as they descend upon Atlanta for the Georgia market launch. Co-founder Patrick Murtaugh and Eric McKay join us to discuss their new brewery, coming to Georgia, and brewing with locally sourced ingredients.
