This Week in Georgia Beer | Dec. 13-19, 2019
Here’s
This week on Beer Guys Radio
The 12 Beers of Christmas. This time of the year is great for beer. Stouts, Barleywines, Piney IPAs, and a bunch of Belgians. We sample Christmas beers and pick our favorites, learn some stats on Christmas beers, and dive into some holiday beer history. Check out our Christmas Playlist for some great drinking music.
Next Week: Iowa’s Single Speed Brewing joins us on the show to talk about their growing brewery and what’s happening in craft beer in their state.
