This Week in Georgia Beer

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.

WeldWerks Brewing
We enjoyed some DDH Juicy Bits IPA and Medianoche barrel-aged stout this week while chatting with WeldWerks.  There’s 36 hours of boil on that stout, so you know it’s good.
