Recap the week and what's to come

Well lets get right to it and start with the Victory tasting last Wednesday.

It went off without a hitch and we had a great time sampling the Prima Pils, Hop Wallop, Storm King and Golden Monkey. Cameron from Victory Brewing did a great job introducing the beers and giving some background on the brewery. We were also fortunate to have Tina there from Savannah Distributors who puts Victory on our shelves around here. And of course the venue was awesome with How from Churchill's pub making everything happen seamlessly behind the scenes. Hop Wallop was the crowd favorite, narrowly beating out Golden Monkey by a vote. Be sure to pick up a six pack at Tower if you haven't tried it yet. We also Just received Golden Monkey in 750ml corked bottles and the look and taste awesome!

I have been eagerly awaiting the Smuttnose brewing Co. release down here and we received our first shipment last week. All I can say is Delicious! The IPA, Brown Ale, and Robust Porter all live up to the hype and are great balanced beers, something that can be hard to find these days. I picked up a variety pack which also includes the Shoals Pale Ale, my favorite of the bunch.

Be on the looks out for Brooklyn Local 2 to hit shelves this week, the Black Ops has come and gone and unfortunately our supply was diverted to Athens. If you are looking for some make the drive!
