This Week in Georgia Beer

Coming Up from Beer Guys Radio

This week we’re talking Belgian Beer with Hop City’s Kraig Torres and Jen Price from the Atlanta Beer Boutique.  Kraig shares his love for Belgian beers and how they’re responsible for getting him started in craft beer, we discuss some of the common styles, and delve a bit into the popular Belgian lambic gueuze.  Plus, we talk with Jen about her book, The Chick’s Guide to Beer, and the Atlanta Beer Boutique.

Next week we’ll be joined by Bob Sandage of Atlanta’s Wrecking Bar Brewpub.  We’ll talk with Bob about what’s new at Wrecking Bar and how the law change allowing him to sell canned beers has impacted his business.  Plus, we’ll get the scoop on his upcoming Wild Wild Beer Fest.
