Cask Ales and Georgia Beer Laws live from ACAT!

Live from the Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting!

ACAT has become a tradition for us.  We've gone every year since we launched and always look forward to it.  This year's event, the 18th, was no exception.  Plenty of awesome cask beers and great people.  It was actually pretty packed, which was nice to see with all the negative talk about craft beer and beer festivals.

In keeping with tradition we sat down with the event organizer, Owen Ogletree of Brewtopia Events.  We chatted about cask ale and why you'll sometimes see "Ale, Beer, and Stout" mentioned together as though they are distinct things. (They are, or they were.)  We talk about beer foam, lacing, and how fests like ACAT inspire homebrewers.

Georgia Craft Brewers Guild executive director Joseph Cortez sits down with us to talk beer laws and the current bill up for consideration, knows as The FOAM Act, SB163 would provide various relief for brewers in relation to self-distribution, sales limits, franchise law, and direct donations to charities.  You can view the bill here and sign a petition to show your support here.
