Check Out Our Atlanta Beer Week ’12 Logo

Atlanta Beer Week 2012Atlanta Beer Week 2012 is coming, prep your livers.  October 20-27 will bring you the best beer, accented by some of the best food, and people in the industry.

If you ask me, Atlanta is one of the fastest growing beer markets in the United States.  With over 6 million people in and around the city, a great beer literally a few feet away.  In the past few weeks alone, Mother Earth Brewing, Anderson Valley, Clown Shoes, and Blue Point have entered the state.  Boulevard Brewing, Green Flash & Goose Island are on their way to the A.

 Let’s not forget some of the best beers are brewed in our own backyard.  Terrapin is growing, just passing the 10 year mark.  Red Brick shows us barrel aging is artform.  Wild Heaven brews up new beers while on the path to a home of their own in Avondale Estates.  2012 will be a big year for the Monday Night folks.  Georgia will have some hometown can beer soon when Red Hare  kicks up the line this summer.  Every time Jailhouse makes the 20 minute drive into the big city, it’s with a truck full of tasty that doesn’t last very long.  O’Dempsey’s been hitting some stout laden homeruns.  Oh, and Burnt Hickory?  We’re ready for you. Bring the heat.. SweetWater? Where to begin.  You don’t get ranked #23 craft brewery in the country for nothing.  They are the period at the long sentence that is the Atlanta beer scene.

Brewpubs? We’ve got ’em. 5 Seasons West has been rocking out lately with some of the best new creations since opening a couple of years ago.  5 Seasons Prado under Kevin McNearney is hop solid.  Wrecking Bar was recently nominated as one of the best in the U.S.   On the subject of the best in the U.S. – let’s talk beer bars. Some of the best on planet earth.  Porter Beer Bar, Brick Store Pub, Trappeze Pub (Athens) all break RateBeer.com’s Top 20.  Don’t even get me started on beer stores.  You’ve guessed it. More of the best in America.

Here in Atlanta we’re thirsty, and that’s just fine with us.  Forget what you thought you knew.  It’s the south. It’s beer. It’s Southern Beer Culture.

Thanks to Bart Sasso and Esperanza-ATL for the absolutely badass logo.  It will look good tattooed on something.

Tuesday

 In-store tasting of One Screw Loose Jams, Jellie & Rubs. We met Chopper and the gang from One Screw Loose several months ago and immediately recognized genius, in spreadable form. They have perfected the art of rubs, jams and all things gelatinous, featuring Jailhouse brewery beer jellies, and all of the delicious flavors that you expect w/ a unique twist. We’ll be pairing some of our local cheeses and charcuterie here in the shop from 5:30-7:30. Spread some delicious love.
Wednesday

 We’ll have Randy Dempsey from O’Dempsey’s and Kevin Fox from Heavy Seas in the shop as we celebrate a collaborative cask that these mad scientists brewed a couple of months back. This particular concoction is a Lemongrass IPA, aged on Sycamore that is sure to be delicious. Casks are smaller vessels for beer (~10 gallons) that impart a ‘softer’ carbonation as the beer is naturally fermented in the cask, so growler fills will need to be consumed the day they are poured, but that shouldn’t be a problem as we know that a 1/2 gallon of this sucker will go down like water. We’ll have other kegs from both breweries available for growler fills as well. Join us from 6-8pm as we tap what is sure to be another epic experiment from these boys.
Thursday

Locals only tap takeover. We’re gonna celebrate this week with some of our favorite offerings from our local breweries. We’ve held a couple of special kegs for a spell (Wild Heaven Ode to Mercy Special Winter, Jailhouse Experimental Saison, etc…) and all 12 taps will be local.
