A
Tremendous Success: The first Georgia Craft Brew
Challenge went very well. A crack team of judges tried all of the beers
and made the hard choices on the winners. The judges were
extremely impressed, as all of the beers were very good. Saturday
night, over 200 people came and enjoyed 50 different Georgia beers on
tap and the live sounds of Kingsized.
We'd like to thank all of our
sponsors, volunteers, judges, the breweries who participated, and
especially Max Lager's for helping to make this happen.
