Tom’s Top 25 Beer Destinations 2011

By Tom Maicon at November 9, 2011 | 8:25 pm | 5 Comments

Last year (August) we published an issue that contained what we deemed our Top 16 Beers Bars in Atlanta. It was such a success that we decided to make it an annual thing, but with a few modifications. This year we expanded the list to twenty-five, and we’re calling it Atlanta’s Top 25 Beer Destinations.

5 Seasons Brewing West/North Venus He’s not just inventive, brewer Crawford Moran is also known for his ability to brew light, flavorful chic beers. Venus, a spicy Belgian white, is one of those nifty Moran-crafted estrogen-friendly brews. She drinks like a complex woman. A light, easy-going, fruity, yeasty personality shines on the front, but gives way to more...

Beer Binge Day 1: No Blarney Stout (5 Seasons Brewing Prado)

By Tom Maicon at March 22, 2010 | 8:49 pm | 0 Comment

I saved today's best entry for last. Admittedly, I didn't know what to expect when 5 Seasons Brewing Prado announced Kevin McNerney, formerly of Sweetwater, as head brewer.
