This Week in Georgia Beer

Coming Up from Beer Guys Radio

This week we’re joined by Hardywood Park Craft Brewery from Richmond, VA as they descend upon Atlanta for the Georgia market launch. Co-founders Patrick Murtaugh and Eric McKay join us to discuss their new brewery, coming to Georgia, brewing with locally sourced ingredients, and we invent the Candall™.

Next week we’re joined by Atlanta’s New Realm Brewing Co.  Since opening early this year New Realm has seen explosive growth and make a lot of waves.  They’re already expanding in Atlanta and recently purchased equipment and leased space in Virginia Beach.  Plus, they’ve got some real estate in Charlotte.  We’ll talk with Mitch Steele and Carey Falcone about the whirlwind time they’ve been having this year.
