I've heard tons about Carton brewing but I've never been there or had any of their brews. Any good? I think they're about a 45 min drive south.

The 2 big local breweries are Sweetwater and Terrapin (is in Athens). Lots of other smaller ones popping up: Monday Night, Red Brick, Red Hare, Jailhouse, Burnt Hickory, Jeckyl, etc. GA laws don't allow you to buy beer at the breweries, so he is probably better off hitting a bar or a store. The 2 best bars are Brick Store Pub and Porter Beer Bar. They are both consistently on the "top craft beer bars" polls. Lots of great stuff on tap and they both have cellar/vintage beer menus also. Both have good food also.

Taco Mac is big here, there are probably 25 in the ATL area. It's basically a Buffalo Wild Wings with a lot of craft beer. Most have 90-100 on tap (my local one has 110).

For beer stores Hop City, Greens, and Tower are all good.

Just came outside for a couple minutes to get a little more patience. Kids are driving me nuts.
"Patience" just came on the radio. Odd.

Also- the wrecking bar brewpub is worth stopping in. It's really close to Porter.

Hb strawberry blonde out of a bottle. Last one, and it has hop floaters in it. Good taste though

Another bomber of my cream ale. 7 bombers of home brew deep today. Bring it.

Since it was nice and ballooned, I tapped the first "cask" of my Pale Mild. I should have started using polypins sooner...

...aaaaaaand this is the second pint.

Sweet. Gravity fed, I assume? Wonder how quickly you will need to consume. How reusable, and how much?

Belgian collab from RR. Apple juice and sweet. On the blech side of meh.

Golden road hef while brewing up my first sour (not counting a Berliner).

The hef wasn't carbonated (QC issues!) but luckily I'm a huge fan of cask beers, so still tastes great

Yes. Gravity fed. I filled 5x 1 gallon pins. I go for 5 in the fermenter and usually hit 5.1-5.2 or so, so actually bottled about 4.7 gallons leaving just a bit of headspace in each pin, primed to 1.2 volumes.

I'm assuming the pins are reusable. I plan on rinsing after use and then cleaning/sanitizing and reusing em. I got em from http://www.usplastic.com/, the "cubitainer" box and insert is a little more than it should be, but the inserts (the actual polypin) is only a couple bucks, and the spigot also only a couple bucks. I ordered 10 inserts, 5 boxes, and 10 spigots for about $70 including shipping.

I'm on my third pint already. I'm not worried about shelf life once tapped, since at this rate it'll be gone by tomorrow. My concern is the shelf life of the other pins that haven't been tapped yet.

Busy afternoon in the brewery. Racked my lambeec on some Montmorency cherries,



Split my saison into three 1 gallon batches with two pounds of mango, kiwi and pomegranate respectively. Then added Cantillon Brett to the remaining 3 gallons (thanks for the yeast Joe!)



Now having this while I grill some burgers


Life is good!

Funky Buddha Blueberry Cobbler. Wtf? Blueberry, cinnamon, vanilla and at the end, you are hit with a raw dough taste. That's crazy

Now onto fin's Conan pale ale. Definitely has the distinctive pineapple thing going - great beer!

Second pour of my 8th bomber of home brew. Smacked.

Funky Buddha Small Axe Big IPA. Mega tropical fruit, damn good DIPA

Pint #4 of the Pale Mild.

More of this seemingly endless growler...
