This Week in Georgia Beer | Sep. 28-Oct. 4, 2018
Coming Up from Beer Guys Radio
DEEP Brewing’s Ryan Lapete join us this week to talk about his Tallahasse,Florida brewery. Lapete had a career as a deep sea diver prior to becoming a brewer and participated in a mission with Fabien Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau’s grandson. We talk about how his diving experience helps his brewing, what changed after DEEP won Florida’s best new brewery of 2017 from RateBeer.com, a whole season of coffee beers, and what the future holds for their brewery.
Next week, Hair of the Dog founder Alan Sprints joins us. His Portland brewery paved the way for many of today’s craft brewers. We look forward to diving into craft beer’s past with him.
