Show Kennesaw, GA. some sud love!
What’s up, Brew
Heads!
How the hell was your weekend? I trust all went well
because mine was as Jay-Z and Kanye say, “Cray!” Of course, it’s short for crazy, but I met a lot of people, ate a
lot, saw a lot, and, of course, sipped
a lot. I will be posting some flicks up later on that documented this blur of a
weekend, but deserving immediate attention is a good friend’s official launch
of his brewery, Burnt Hickory!
Tonight,
Tuesday, May 29th, Georgia has been blessed with
yet another brewery. Coming out of Kennesaw,
Georgia, my boy and Co-founder Scott
Hedeen, Brewmaster Taylor Yates,
and the rest of the Burnt Hickory Posse
are hosting their release party at the Taco
Mac Kennesaw location (600 Chastain Rd, Kennesaw, GA 30144; 770.874.7781) starting promptly at 6:30. Here’s what their kegs will be pouring
directly from the Burnt Hickory Brewery complete with descriptions, their
awesomely quirky names and humorous artwork:
“We
just call it Zeke. Compare to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and 3 Floyds Alpha King.”
The Fighting Bishop. Belgian Style Tripel.
“Made
with green peppercorns. Strong Belgian with golden color and spicy taste.”
Big Shanty Graham
Cracker Stout Oatmeal
Stout, 9% ABV.
“Made with
cinnamon and graham cracker.”
Cannon Dragger IPA Imperial IPA, 8%.
Highly hopped IPA with Simcoe/Amarillo/Columbus/Chinook hops.
“Compare
to Two hearted/90 minute/Deviant Dales.”
The Didjits Blood
Orange IPA IPA, 7%.
“Made with citra hops
and oranges.”
I have had the
pleasure to try some of their beer over the past year or so, and trust me, Burnt
Hickory knows what the hell they’re doing! Here's their Twitter too. Congrats on realizing your dream, B.H.!
See you there I
hope!
Cheers!
Ale
