Up on the housetop… I hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling… with chestnuts roasting on an open fire!
The holidays bring joy via its songs, its celebrations, its food and its beverages, and it is with overflowing joy myself that I introduce this issue to you, dear readers, The Beer Connoisseur’s Atlanta/Georgia print edition for the holidays!
We’ve got a stuffed stocking full of stories and goodies for good girls and boys, whether you be a diehard beer fan or someone who just dabbles in the arts of imbibing a quality brew.
Our cover story profiles pioneering Atlanta area restaurateur and craft beer retail expert Kraig Torres, who has reshaped the bottle shop market in the region with Hop City, while also opening up some highly successful restaurants in the form of Boxcar and Barleygarden. Owen Ogletree sat down with the jet-setting entrepreneur to discuss his efforts in the area.
Staying in the world of notable entrepreneurs, we spoke with Founders Brewing Co.'s Co-Founder Dave Engbers as his company celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
