Statesboro Beer Envy

@EagleCreekBrew puts AGS to shame with quality #GABeer!

Looking for the closest production brewery to Augusta and the CSRA?  Well, dig out the binocs and look southward.  Then get yourself a DD, and head to Stateboro to try out the fantastic brews of Eagle Creek Brewing Co.


Fronted by the "youngest head brewer in America", Cole Brown, Eagle Creek is producing a line-up of four fantastic beers.

Both the Low Country Pale Ale, and Spot Tail Light Blonde can be found on tap in the CSRA.  I have not yet seen the interesting sounding, and interesting tasting Grass Roots Lemon LimeHefeweizen, though it may be out there.  The fourth brew was their Puff's Magic Dragon Dry Stout, however I understand they intend to keep this as a winter seasonal.

I enjoyed all of these brews, especially the Pale and Stout.  The Blonde is very good, and very sessionable.  If you have a friend that won't give up their mass-marketed lite beer, have them try this.  And then once they're hooked, start working them into other craft beers!

Right now Eagle Creek is open for tours and tastings on Friday & Saturday evenings from 6:30 - 8:30.  If you are in the CSRA, grab some friends and a DD, and head down to Stateboro to enjoy the, shall we say, "generous" 5-oz tastings, along with live local music.  The Augusta Homebrewers Association finally made it down there, and had a great time!

Then come home and look for Eagle Creek on tap at your favorite watering hole.  And if you don see it....ask for it!

Oh, and before I forget, something else is coming soon as well...

Cans!
