This Week in Georgia Beer

Coming Up from Beer Guys Radio

This week we talk with Two Tides Brewing.  Owner and Head Brewer James Massey joins us to talk about his brand new brewery in Historic Savannah.  His tiny operation pumps out all the hoppy and sour beers they can to keep up with demand.  James talks about going from CPA to IPAs, the challenges of opening a brewery, serving frozen beer, the long story behind his brewery name, and pitches the idea of four drinking sessions a day.

Next week, we’re chatting with Reformation Brewery.  On the heels of SB85, this Woodstock brewery is preparing to open their second location.  Just a stone’s throw from their original brewery, the new spot will focus as a tasting room and events space with a partner-run restaurant.  We’ll find out when they plan to open and what is new with our favorite Reformers.

      WHAT WE’RE DRINKING

      Studio Beers - Beer Guys Radio Craft Beer Podcast
      In addition to Two Tides IPAs we cracked open a few more cans this week.  Our mystery can was a maple breakfast stout from an unknown source.  It was delicious, I wish we knew where it was from.
