This Week in Georgia Beer | Oct. 5-11, 2018
Coming Up from Beer Guys Radio
This week, Hair of the Dog founder Alan Sprints joins us on the show. We chat about the last 25 years of craft beer, the changing beer scene in Portland, brewing extreme beers, his secret $800 bottle offering, and the biggest challenges facing new brewers today.
Next week, we’re talking the State of the Craft Beer Industry with Bart Watson, chief economist at the Brewers Association. We’ll talk about industry growth, the existence of a craft beer bubble, and what he expects for the future of craft beer.
