Fall 2022, Issue 62 Has Arrived!

Welcome to Issue #62 of The Beer Connoisseur Magazine!

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

Just like last issue, we detail some high-scoring beers that are perfect for the fall season. Then, we feature a selection of “What We’re Drinking Now,” which highlights some wonderful brews that we’ve reviewed in years past.

We highlight Pontoon Brewing’s fun Halloween-themed Nightmare Fuel fruited sour via a conversation with head Brewer Chris Baratz. This blood-red brew is sure to be a treat for spooky holiday parties.

One of the most entertaining beer festivals in the U.S. takes place every weekend in September in the north Georgia mountains of Helen – Helen Oktoberfest! The 2022 rendition of the event marks the 52nd annual occurrence of the festive occasion. After that we focus on five high-scoring beers to try this fall.

A brewery tour of Mutation Brewing in Sandy Springs, Georgia follows that up. This up-and-coming brewery crafts a wide range of styles – including the tart South American chicha style. Following that, we feature a fun pancake recipe that features everyone's favorite beverage: beer!

Something is always going on in the world of beer, and two news stories piqued our interest over the past few weeks. First off is Flying Dog Brewery and Stranahan’s Whiskey collaborating to release a beer and a whiskey in honor of the founder of both businesses: George Stranahan, a self-penned “pilgrimosopher.”

Then, after COVID shuttered them in 2020, Stoudts Brewing Co. in Pennsylvania returns this year thanks to help from fellow brewer Evil Genius Beer Co.

We hope you enjoy the issue!

Cheers!
