Could Downtown AGS get a Brewpub?

@jennanmartin suggests that it might just happen...maybe.   
DDA board gives support for brewpubs

Downtown Augusta, like other cities across Georgia, is missing out on the economic boon seen from the craft brewery industry.  By signing a resolution Thursday in support of state legislation to open up retail avenues for Georgia microbreweries and brewpubs, the Downtown Development Authority of Augusta hopes to attract one.

“They are very popular,” DDA Executive Director Margaret Woodard said. “They’re great for tourism. They’re great for downtown businesses. They’re a good draw.”

So we shall see.  So many good things could happen in Downtown Augusta if the bureaucracy and political infighting would just get out of the way.  Support is one thing, a good thing, but I am sure there are a bunch more hurdles for someone to jump over before this dream might happen...
