The Beer Connoisseur® - Fall 2022

Dans ce numéro

Welcome back, dear readers, to The Beer Connoisseur’s new local Atlanta/Georgia print edition. Our first summer issue featured everything that beer lovers enjoy – ranging from engaging music and arts events, top picks for beer, delectable food and plenty of fun summer sporting events.

Our cover story focuses on the booming film industry in Georgia and elucidates how Georgia has coaxed so many film companies to produce their films here. In the story, Kurt Spurlock lists some notable past and future productions in the state – as well as some memorable beer appearances in Georgia films.

Beer lovers do indeed love food, so this issue also features a profile of the delectable meat treats from DAS BBQ in Grant Park. Whether you’re craving brisket (I always am), pulled pork, mac n’ cheese, a rack of ribs, collard greens or a sliced turkey sandwich – DAS BBQ can satiate your barbecue needs.

ASW Distillery (aka Atlanta Spirit Works Distillery) is known as “Malt Disney World,” by many of its customers. With a wide range of house-made drinks and a lovely campus at the ASW Whiskey Exchange, this Atlanta hotspot provides a lovely atmosphere alongside its lovely libations.

This issue features a selection of “What We’re Drinking Now,” which highlights some wonderful products that we’ve reviewed that fit the season and that are sure to whet your appetite for high-quality brews.

Rounding out the issue is our interview with a local brewer responsible for a terrific Georgia beer; this issue, it’s Pontoon Brewing’s head brewer Chris Baratz discussing the brewery’s fun (and spooky) Halloween sour beer Nightmare Fuel.

We sincerely hope you enjoy this issue, as it wouldn’t be possible without the support of you, our dear readers. After your rake those leaves, you will have earned the right to sit back, relax and crack open Issue #2 of The Beer Connoisseur’s Atlanta/Georgia edition!
