This Week in Georgia Beer

Coming Up from Beer Guys Radio

This week we talk with Williamston, Michigan’s Old Nation Brewing Co.  We caught up with Mark 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.

Next week, just in time for the 4th of July planning, we’ll be talking Beer and BBQ.  The Beer Sommelier Matt Simpson will join us (Matt is also a KCBS certified BBQ judge) along with Brandon King from Smyrna Beer Market.  We’ll eat some Loyal Q BBQ and chat about what beer goes best with whatever you choose to put on your grill or in your smoker.
