This Week in Georgia Beer

On this week’s show…

Tallahassee Beer and the SGI Brewfest | A couple of weeks ago we loaded up the BGR Truckster and headed down to Florida for a bit of fun in the sun.  And beer, mostly for the beer.  We teamed up with our Tallahassee radio affiliate (RealTalk 93.3) to attend the SGI Brewfest on beautiful St. George Island.  We chat with Greg Tish and Bobby Mac from RealTalk, the guys from Proof Brewing, SGI Brewfest’s organizers, and Danny Aller and Matt Crumbaker from the Tallahassee Beer Society.  The Tallahassee area has some awesome breweries and fantastic weather, keep it on your radar for your next road trip.

Next week: Palmetto Brewing and Catawba Brewing | Founder and CEO Billy Pyatt will join us to talk about what’s new with South Carolina’s oldest brewery.

SGI Brewfest
Greg Tish and Bobby Mac from Tallahassee’s RealTalk 93.3 hit us with some Naturdays at the SGI Brewfest.  We won’t say it was the best “beer” we had all weekend, but we will admit we didn’t hate it.
