This Week in Georgia Beer | Jan. 18-24, 2019
On this week’s show…
Greeley, Colorado’s WeldWerks Brewing is our guest this week. WeldWerks has seen amazing growth im just a few years due to their amazing NEIPAs like Juicy Bits and big, long boil stouts like Medianoche. Co-Owner and Head Brewer Neil Fisher and Director of Sales & Marketing Jake Goodman talk with us about the growth they’ve seen, the WeldWerks Invitational, and those long nights boiling their stouts.
Next week: We’re gearing up for the Big Game with some beers and bites perfect for your watch party. Sports journalist Nubyjas Wilborn will join us and share his thoughts on this NFL season and the face-off to win it all.
