The Great American Beer Fest has come and gone. And somehow, they STILL forgot to send me my guest pass as VIP media.  Oh well, as Atlanta sports fans have been saying for decades, just wait ’til next year!

While Georgia’s beer scene is still emerging versus national giants like Colorado, Oregon, and North Carolina, local brews fared well at the competition. Colorado beers won 38 medals, Oregon had 17. Georgia came in with a solid 5, and I have no doubt that that number will continue to grow as Georgia’s beer scene really starts to take off. To wit, Georgia only won two medals in 2016.

But we really need to give some mad, mad props to Moon River Brewing in Savannah. They were named Mid-Sized Brewpub and Mid-Sized Brewpub Brewer of the Year!

For now, kudos to all of the winners, especially these local medal winners:

Now, get out there and show your support to our award-winning breweries and FUTURE award-winners at all of your local haunts!
