This Week in Georgia Beer

Coming Up from Beer Guys Radio

We mix it up again this week with some craft malt talk.  Brent Manning and Matt Thompson from Asheville’s Riverbend Malt House and Gavin McKenna from Atlanta Brewing Company join us for an in-depth discussion of malt and malting.  Brent tells us what malt is, what defines a craft maltster, and what makes a craft malt.  We also dive into the difference in 2-row and 6-row barley and discover there’s 4-row barley as well.  This will be a fun show for the homebrewers or those that just enjoy learning all they can about their favorite beverage.

Next week we’re headed south to talk with Clayton Mathis from Apalachicola, Florida’s Oyster City Brewing Co.
