This Week in Georgia Beer | Feb 22-28, 2019
On this week’s show…
Homebrewing tips for IPAs and Stouts. We’re joined this week but our 1st and 2nd place winners from our 2018 Best of Georgia Beer awards in the Best Homebrewer category. Jay Brantley and Jon Shari (Little Cottage Brewery) are in the studio to talk homebrewing, homebrew clubs, share some beers, and give their tips on getting the most out of your IPAs and Stouts.
Next week: We’re talking beer and cheese pairing with Bernard McKoy of Brick Store Pub. Bernard hosts the monthly beer and cheese pairings at the pub and is going to share some tips for kicking up your cheese plate.
