This Week in Georgia Beer | August 10-16, 2018
Coming Up from Beer Guys Radio
This week we’re talking with… Ourselves. Sometimes things don’t work out and we were not able to connect with the guest we had planned for this week. However, we were in the studio and we had a bunch of beers, so we freestyled (mostly) a little #5thsegment action. We pontificate on the many shades of IPAs, discuss some craft beer news, and introduce you to Sam Kempe. Sam’s been behind the scenes for a while as our Audio Engineer but he jumps in to chat a bit this week. Podcast listeners will get this glorious episode with Tim and Brian running their mouths, radio listeners will get a replay of one of our most popular episodes this year, Beer Guys Radio #120: Hop Talk with Stan Hieronymus.
Next week we’ll talk with Sam Cruz, co-owner of Louisville, Kentucky’s Against the Grain.
