Anchor Brewing is closing after 127 years

It’s been a sad week for craft beer lovers. A story we couldn’t skip, Anchor Brewing is closing after 127 years in business.

This one hits you right in the nostalgia as a craft beer drinker, but I’ll be the first to admit I was part of the problem here. The last few years I think Christmas Ale is the only Anchor beer I’ve purchased. There are just so many great choices today. Whether I’m at my local brewery or bottle shop, there are tons of amazing beers to be had and some of the old faithfuls don’t get the love they once did.

Atlanta Brewing is calling it quits yet

Close to home Atlanta Brewing Co. reported their lease was cancelled at Underground Atlanta, where they planned to re-open after closing last Summer. Although we thought this was the end of them news came out after the show that they aren’t giving up yet.

We start off the show with tomato talk. Right, tomatoes. In beers, not in beers, and in the glorious BLT. Tis the season.

There’s also some fun news with a new champ for the Beer Mile. Chug, run, chug, run. The chug time was a bit slow but the run time made up for. And Asia is getting a brewery on a cruise ship. We didn’t know until we started digging around but apparently there’s already one in North America – Carnival Vista’s Red Frog Pub & Brewery.

A new (old) brewing grain

A new (well, old) grain is making waves in brewing. Funio is a gluten-free grain that is very eco friendly and, apparently, has a closer taste to “real” beer than other gluten-free alternatives. Brooklyn Brewing has made beer with it and they’re encouraging others to do the same.
