By Tom Maicon at December 11, 2011 | 6:31 pm | 0 Comment
Atlanta only had four brewpub brewers when October came to an end. At the time I am typing this, two of those have been replaced. Jordan Fleetwood, Twain’s (211 Trinity Pl, Decatur, 404.373.0063) brewer since the Decatur bar turned brewpub several years ago, has now been replaced by David Stein, a young brewer who apprenticed at BrewDog in Scotland. The young more...

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...

Jordan Fleetwood of Twain’s

Jordan Fleetwood has enjoyed a long brewing career here in Atlanta. He’s a humble guy who brews with good sense and strong technique. He currently mans the brew side of things at Twain’s Billiards and Tap in beercentric Decatur. Every time I sit down with Fleetwood I learn something new. I recently caught up with him ... here’s what he had to say. Q: Nearly more...
Twain’s: Choco-nut, a bold cask-conditioned brown ale
By Tom Maicon at June 8, 2010 | 5:29 pm | 2 Comments
Like wine, some beers are drinking brews while others are best enjoyed with nosh. Brown ales rank near the top of all beer styles when pairing with food. Though many are mild and only hold their own against nuts and cheeses, more robust renditions can stand up to red meat, and some hoppier versions may even cut through spicy stews. Jordan Fleetwood, head more...
Beer Binge Day 6: Twain’s Nitro Coffee Stout
By Tom Maicon at March 27, 2010 | 11:57 pm | 2 Comments
As I stated in an earlier beer entry, 'tis the season for stouts. And you'll find a pretty darned good one in the Nitro Coffee Stout currently pouring at Twain's. This coffee stout is a unique drink to say the least. It has all the soft creamy textures of Guiness, but the roasty malts and coffee flavors really shine through with a surprising warm tingly alcohol more...
Beer Binge Day 6: Mysterious Stranger Brown Ale

Sometimes there's nothing I want more than a good nutty brown ale. It's a beer style that seems to be falling out of fad among brewers today, being replaced by in-your-face hoppy beers. So there was good reason to be excited by Twain's brewer Jordan Fleetwood's Mysterious Stranger Brown Ale currently on tap. This pour, unlike Jordan's others, poured a little more...
Beer Binge Day 6: Twain’s Stubborn River ESB
By Tom Maicon at March 27, 2010 | 10:00 pm | 0 Comment
Jordan Fleetwood, head brewer at Twain's in Decatur, is, in my opinion, the most underrated brewer in the city. And he's getting it done with less than half the brew system as the other guys. I don't get to Twain's too often, so I decided to cover three beers here, instead of two, and wrap up this six-day liver liquefier. My first sample was the Stubborn River more...
