Pontoon Brewing made waves with their Rainbow Smiggles release, but there's more to their beers than cereal and candy Sean O'Keefe, owner and CEO of Pontoon Brewing, is cool with the flack he got when he launched Rainbow Smiggles.  He expected it.  The Berliner Weisse infused with fruit and Trix and Skittles is part of the brewery's Serious Series after all.  Pontoon likes to have fun with their beers, and the people that enjoy them. However, there are still some big and bold beers available from the brewery.  They frequently offer up generously-fruited Berliners and their Brownie Batter stout has seen plenty of variants with every adjunct imaginable.  If you're looking to play it a little more safe then you can enjoy their Sol Crush Mexican Lager or a Galaxy Drifter IPA. O'Keefe and Brewmaster Chris Baratz joined us in the studio this week.  We talked about how their coping with Covid, brewing with lactose, crowdsourcing beer ideas, pilsners, and the plan for unique releases moving forward.  We also get some details on the 2020 Brownie Bash Beer Festival with lots of collaborations and guest breweruies.  Plus, O'Keefe make a BIG announcement about the brewery. Pontoon Sol Crusher is a delicious Vienna-style Lager.  The latest version drops the fruit from the previous release to let the beautiful malts shine through.

Host Jill Melancon speaks to Doug and Val Bippert, co-owners of Ironmonger Brewing in Marietta, to find out about all the changes they've gone through lately.

Ironmonger Brewing and Viking Alchemist Meadery team up for destination location in Marietta, GA March was supposed to be a big month for celebrations in Cobb County, GA.  The local tourism bureau dubbed the county-wide event Bubbles & Brews to celebrate all their great craft beverage makers.  They did not plan for a global pandemic to take over mid-month. Ironmonger Brewing and Viking Alchemist Meadery had big plans as well.  Ironmonger landed the coveted St. Patrick's Day party for the Bubbles & Brews event and Viking Alchemist planned to debut their new Ironmonger-adjacent taproom in early April.  The doors are still open at Ironmonger and the plan to keep it that way as long as they can, they have taken steps to be extra clean and to encourage social distancing.  Viking Alchemist continues the work on their taproom and will debut as soon as they can. If you do make the trip up to Ironmonger you can enjoy a cold beer while throwing some axes with your friends at the Ironmonger Axe Throwing Range.  Or take it easy in the tasting room and stare at the big screen that would have the game on, if there were any games being played. Grab your friends for some axe throwing at Ironmonger Brewing.  (Photo: Ironmonger Brewing) We chat with Ironmonger about the beers they have on new, including a popular Vienna Lager in conjunction with ATL Rugby, as well as some sodas from their Naughty Soda brand.  In addition to the brewery, meadery, and axe throwing the Ironmonger team would like to add some food choices or perhaps a distillery to their complex to complete the Ironmonger Experience. Viking Alchemist gives us a primer on mead styles and tells us about their TWO new taprooms opening soon, and we try to talk them into making some Smoothie Meads. Check out Ironmonger and Viking Alchemist to sling some axes and grab a drink.  If there's no baseball on maybe you can see what's playing on The Ocho.

(note: Ironmonger Brewing is a partner of Beer Guys Radio) David Sheets loves a challenge.  As the founder of Ironmonger Brewing, he was looking for a way to get his brewery's beers noticed.

He lets us know during the show.  Broadcasting from their new Barrel room, we speak to Sheets and taproom manager Cam Goershel about Ironmonger's history, its future, and the upcoming festival season.  Truck and Tap's Beers of the Week: Ironmonger Beers Creature Comforts Reclaimed Rye Headlines: Halfway Crooks Making Progress on Brewery in Summerhill Highland Brewing Co. has completely revamped their branding Smyrna approves “carry-out” alcohol policy in downtown restaurant district Sam Adams has gotten on board the Haze Craze Train Guinness is launching a new line of Non Alcoholic beer this month Related:  German olympic athletes herald benefit of NA Hefeweizen BrewDog is opening the world's first “beer hotel” in Scotland New study: Drinking two beers a night could be the key to living a long life Related: Excessive use could increase risk for all forms of dementia Related: 2015 study finds antioxidant in hops slows cognitive decline Hip-hop Duo Run The Jewels has announced a second beer Collaboration Spencer Trappist brewery coming out with Fruit Series Charitably Drinking: Saturday March 24th is Orval Day 2018

Marietta's Ironmonger Brewing joined us in the studios today. Specifically, owner David Sheets. A newcomer to the show, we were excited to talk about Ironmonger. Originally a side project of Naughty Soda, Sheets was able to spin off Ironmonger to its own brand. And even though they share a facility with Naughty Soda, they are separate. Our old friend Barron Sluder recently came aboard as head brewer. And even though he hasn't been able to finish his brews yet, the Ironmonger crew brought plenty of liquid.

In this episode, we talk to Mike Castagno, the brand new head brewer at the iconic Decatur brewpub, Twain's.  We also have Twain's owners (and brothers) Ethan and Uri Wurtzel on the show, talking about Twain's past 21 years in Decatur and how they've had to adapt and change to compete in the great craft beer market in that city.  Tim gives us an update on SB85, and we'll talk about an Atlanta brewery making a cameo appearance during the Super Bowl!  Next week, Ironmonger Brewing will join us in the studios. As always, drink local, and cheers!
