This Week in Georgia Beer | Mar. 15-21, 2019
On this week’s show…
Three Taverns Craft Beers’ Brian Purcell and new brewmaster Riley Finnigan join us to talk Rowdy & Proud, brewing in Spain, stupid beer pics, and the upcoming Imaginarium; which seems to be shaping up to be a mix of Willy Wonka meets Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Finnigan joined Three Taverns recently after stints at Avery Brewing and Spain’s Edge Brewing.
Next week: Casey Brewing and Blending’s Troy Casey joins us to talk about his highly sought after fruited sours and what’s in store for his brewery.
