Lagunitas? Georgia tap takeover? Allagash? New Belgium? Orpheus? Oh my!
Whaddup?!
With American Craft Beer Week well underway, one of the
most revered brew pubs in the world, The Porter Beer Bar (and one of my favorite local Atlanta joints in general), is
featuring a few themed nights along with some more craft brew-pouring
awesomeness next week. Check out my listing below starting today, plus the Porter
being featured on Atlanta Eats which
included me getting interviewed by show host Steak Shapiro during the stellar episode! Oh yeah, and a little while ago, I did another video featuring the Porter for my Cruisin' For A Brewsin' show here.
Look for more to come soon!

It’s the Lagunitas takeover! It will be 13 taps and the biggest Lagunitas takeover anywhere
outside California. They will be tapping the Waldos' Special Ale (9.2%) at 4:19 and also
the last keg of my boy Reid’s collaboration (Beer Street Journal) with Lagunitas called the Fusion #19—an American Wild Ale aged in Pinot Noir oak barrels. Get
it! Here is the video…

It’s a Georgia craft breweries’ takeover! There are 16

Christopher, asks. Let’s keep it poppin’ on May 20th, 21st
and 28th, ya heard?
