Here are some dope photos from the 13th Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting!

ACAT 2017 was crazy!

Whaddup!!!

This month has been a blur for me, but that’s a good thing when it is due to so many dope beer events, traveling destinations, and making moves with y’all in mind!

Judging the 13thAnnual Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting this past Saturday, January 21^st, was one of the MAJOR highlights of January so far because of all the great people I ran into, the conversations with fellow experts, and, of course, tasting the experimental beer all 51 of the participating breweries came up with; it was an unforgettable experience. Congrats to these U.S. and U.K. winners from our blind tasting panel below:
