The twenty-six thousand square-foot brewing facility is one hundred percent wind-powered. Earth, wind and beer — the brewery’s motto. So, how could an earth mutt such as me not get behind Utah-based Uinta Brewing Company? This brewery’s beers that have made their way to Georgia are very drinkable, well-crafted brews that strictly abide to style. more...
The Anti-Saison By Terrapin

I admire head brewer Spike Buckowski’s creative spirit. In my opinion, Spike is a very talented brewer with a solid foundation for the basics, but he’s also somewhat of an artist.

King, The B-52s and Widespread Panic. Being a UGA grad, I have my own fond memories of The Georgia Theatre. Owners of the 120-year old historic structure only held a standard insurance more...
Beer Binge Day 1: Terrapin “Side Project” Capt’n Krunkles

There's two major breweries here in Georgia Terrapin being one, and SweetWater of course is the other. Terrapin, in my opinion, is by far the better of the two. Spike Buckowski is the main brewer and diving force behind Terrapin. Buckowski known for his creative whims began brewing what he calls "Side Projects" that are the equivalent to nightly specials in a more...

I know, I know—everyone has a year-end article about something. Why should beer be an exception … especially in light of the wonderful year that 2009 represented for metro Atlanta? From new breweries to exceptional new beers to great new destinations—last year was very kind to the beer-ophile in all of us. The final year of the aughts brought us the more...
