This Week in Georgia Beer | Feb. 7-13, 2020
This week on Beer Guys Radio
Michael Syrop and Ron Mitchell from Rainy Day Brewery join us to talk homebrewing and love of classic styles. We sample a few of their beers as we discuss the great beers of the past and the (lil’ bit of) a resurgence classic brews are seeing. We get the scoop on what brought RDB to homebrewing, and why you’d want to start brewing with all the beers available today. Michael and Ron share some tips on creating your own recipes, we talk some about the ever-changing science of brewing, and in a special #5thSegment for our podcast listeners we get some info on brewing for competition.
