This Week in Georgia Beer

Coming Up from Beer Guys Radio

This week, we head to ZCON‘s brewery night at SweetWater Brewing.  We’ll be talking to SweetWater’s Nick Burgoyne and Orpheus’s Jason Pellett about Sour and Wild Beer.  We profile kettle sours, mixed fermentation, and spontaneously fermented beers from Berliner Weisse and Gose to Lambic and Geuze.  Jason shares some info with us on the early days of his wild beer program and we discuss blending sour beers.  We couldn’t fit in all in the regular show so make sure to get the podcast and listen for a special 5th Segment.

Next week, we’re talking with Upland Brewing Co., which recently began distribution in Georgia.
