By Harry Hager at January 22, 2013 | 11:12 am | 0 Comment
One of the best parts of being a beer writer is getting to talk with local brewers. They are a dedicated bunch and it is hard to describe the passion and excitement that these artisans bring to their craft. I have been pondering a way to best express some of this in my brewpub reporting and sometimes the simplest way is often the best way. So, I simply asked the brewers more...

It wouldn’t be fair to discuss pumpkin ales without a brief word on pumpkins first. Your standard jack-o-lantern pumpkin is relatively devoid of much other than a slightly sweeter squash like flavor. Roasting helps convert some starch to sugars but realistically a bowl of plain roasted pumpkin is still very much like a stringy squash with a smidgeon of light brown more...
Getting On Track At The Wrecking Bar

I recently spent a rainy Atlanta afternoon sampling beer at the Wrecking Bar in Little Five Points and was pleasantly surprised at both the depth and breadth of their beer offerings, which ran from a light Cream Ale to a Russian Imperial Stout.

On June 5th, the City of Sandy Springs passed Ordinance 2012-06-15 legalizing growler sales and since then multiple businesses have applied for licenses to begin pouring craft beer for off-premise consumption by thirsty Georgians. Unfairly excluded from those who can immediately begin to profit from the new ordinance is the Five Seasons Brewpub in the Prado, who has been more...

Owners Mike and Lisa Hinkley brought in creative brewmaster Chuck Silva, a brewer who has an obvious appreciation for traditional styles, but he, too, like most American craft brewers, pushes the more...
