Fall 2013, Issue 14

In our effort to craft content in our Atlanta offices that will keep even the most experienced beer drinker engaged, in this issue we have reached out to local, national and international sources.

Owen Ogletree, who hails from nearby Athens, Georgia, lends his expertise in food and beer to the question of what makes pizza a perfect match for flavorful brews? Writer Jim Pedley traveled across town – his place of residence being Kansas City – to get the lowdown on why people in the Midwest and now other regions are so keen on the beers of Boulevard.

We then went across our northern border to Montreal-based Martin Thibault, a connoisseur who believes in getting down to the last ingredient whenever he visits a country with intriguing beer makers. In this issue, the readers can travel with him as he discovers a whole new concept of farm to table in Japan.

In addition to a brewery tour in Texas at Jester King, yours truly went down the road and across the street to 5 Seasons Brewing at the Prado to chat with head brewer Kevin McNerney about recent developments in craft brewing. Not surprisingly, his place of work was recently listed among Atlanta’s best beer bars by Atlanta Magazine, because Kevin’s small batch creations are unsurpassed for body, structure, mouthfeel and flavor.

As we said, thinking and drinking local is often a rewarding experience for beer connoisseurs – wherever your travels may take you.
