E34: Hop City Craft Beer and Wine

Send us Fan MailWe're talking bottle shops on this week's Beer Guys show! Kraig Torres, owner of Hop City joins us in studio along with Josh Doherty, specialty department manager of Harry's Farmers Market (Whole Foods).  We talk about their craft beer journey, how beer has evolved and grew all over the south, and what trends they are seeing in the industry. Kraig also lets us know about Hop City's newest venture in Alpharetta, and how they figured out the importance of selling pints at their Krog Street Market location.  Also, talented local artist Rory "Catlanta" Hawkins stopped by to hang out as well. Check out his artwork here. Tim and Aaron also talked to Dan Roberts, Executive Director of the Alabama Brewer's Guild about the latest in their beer-to-go debate. Truck and Tap's beers of the week include some selections our guests brought in, including a vintage one from Shmaltz, Green Bench, Monday Night and Westbrook.  Next week? One of Tim and Aaron's favorite brewers from Alabama, Blue Pants!  Thanks for listening, and don't forget to drink local.  Also, sign up for This Week in Georgia Beer to get great news and events, and also enter to win some sweet swag from our guests!
