This Week in Georgia Beer | June 8-14, 2018
Coming Up from Beer Guys Radio
This week we visit Atlanta’s New Realm Brewing Co. Since opening early this year New Realm has seen explosive growth and made a lot of waves. We talk with Carey Falcone and Mitch Steele about their growth in Atlanta, plans and timeline for Virginia Beach, and get a bit of info on Charlotte. Mitch shares some of his thoughts on beer trends and what has staying power, and Brian shares an idea for a reality show.
Next week we’ll talk with Williamston, Michigan’s Old Nation Brewing Co. We caught up with Patrick Logusz as he visited Atlanta for the market launch of M-43. We talk about hazy beer, not-so-hazy beer, pasties, pretzels, and deer hunting while sampling a few of Old Nation’s variety of beers.
