619. Monday Night Brewing – Blind Pirate Double IPA

I’m in Atlanta, GA, with my friend Joe and we’ve had quite an evening – first stopping at The Wrecking Bar Brewpub where I had a nice  Jemmy Dean Breakfast Stout and a great Dry Hopped & Cedar Aged Denamelizer IIPA. Then we stopped at Leon’s Full Service in Decatur, and had a couple more good beers. Our final stop of the evening is Taco Mac in midtown, where I enjoyed this local beer while watching the end of the...

618. RJ Rockers Brewing – Gruntled Pumpkin Ale

After enjoying a couple beers at dinner at Leon’s Full Service in Decatur, GA, my friend Joe took me to midtown Atlanta to the Taco Mac there. We watched the Cardinals and had a couple of beers. I like the Brewniversity concept, but more importantly, I like the huge number of beers they have on tap, and the nice selection of local craft beers. Location: On tap and served in a slightly curved pint glass at Taco Mac in midtown Atlanta,...

617. Blue Point Brewing – Pumpkin Ale

I’m out at dinner with my friend Joe, at Leon’s Full Service, a restaurant in Decatur, GA. We already hit the Wrecking Bar Brewpub earlier in the evening, so we’re doing pretty good. So we ordered an appetizer (seen here) of bacon and peanut butter (Joe tells me it’s a southern thing). Also, since I’m a pumpkin beer guy, I saw they had this one on tap, and it gave me a chance to try yet another brewer’s...

616. Three Taverns Brewery – A Night in Brussels IPA

After stopping at the Wrecking Bar Brewpub for a couple beers and a snack, we headed out to find a place for dinner.  We tried to stop nearby at Fox Bros. BBQ, but it was too packed, so we headed to Decatur. Joe said that Leon’s Full Service was one of his favorite places here, so we grabbed a beer at the bar and waited to be seated. They had some nice beers on tap, and this one gave me a chance to try out another local brewery....

615. Wrecking Bar Brewpub – Dry Hopped & Cedar Aged Denamelizer IIPA

I’m in Atlanta, GA visiting my friend Joe, and we’re at The Wrecking Bar Brewpub for a couple beers and a snack before dinner. After I had the Jemmy Dean Breakfast Stout, my friend Joe recommended I try their Denamelizer IIPA. However, I noticed on the corner of the menu, that they had the dry hopped AND cedar aged version of this beer… in the cask! I think Joe was a bit jealous and wanted to change his order after...

614. Wrecking Bar Brewpub – Jemmy Dean Breakfast Stout

Today is my second day in Atlanta, and my friend Joe and I spent most of the day working on his new house. So, as a reward for helping him, he’s promised to take me to a few nice bars and microbreweries tonight. Our first stop is the Wrecking Bar Brewpub. They had some nice sounding brews on the menu, but this seemed to be one of their specialties and it came recommended by Joe. The menu said it contained a cold-pressed Java...
