Pumpkin Beer Hate is Hypocritical
by The Big Fat Brewer
Mon, Sep 12, 2016
In The Strange Hypocrisy of Pumpkin Beer Hate by Josh Weikert at Beer Simple, the author makes a good case for dispencing with all this “Pumpkin Beer Hate”. I have to say, I like some pumpkin beers. I look forward to having offerings from Shipyard, Dogfish Head, and Southern Teir every year. There are plenty that I don’t like but that’s true of every style.

I really loved this article on the behavior of the owners of recently bought “craft breweries”. As I work to edit and post the latest episode of the podcast this article seems appropriate.

Pie Beer?

Mon, Mar 14, 2016
I love to think about how to make interesting beer recipes that push the envelope of what can be done. The fact that it is #PiDay has inspired me to write a little about how to make a pie flavored beer. Flavored Beers I have a Chocolate Milk Stout recipe that, I think, tastes like a very dark chocolate milk. My son, Adam, loves chocolate milk so I named it “FuzzBall’s Chocolate Milk Stout”.
No More Small Beer Reforms of Georgia's Alcohol Laws

I wholeheartedly agree with this article by Kyle Wingfield of the AJC. We need big changes in Georgia beer laws to catch up with the rest of the nation in supporting the craft beer movement and the jobs and growth it brings. Nearly all of the neighboring states have laws that are more conducive to starting ang growing a brewery then Georgia. At the same time we have many brilliant brewers makeing delicious beer here in Georgia.
