Georgia Beer on My Mind

I should have wrote this a week ago. Thinking of it, I have not done much writing in general lately. I’ll try to change that.

I’ve been to Georgia before but my time there previously had been limited. A couple weekends ago, we made a long weekend trip to Savannah. Savannah is a trendy place to go. Millennials love to go for the insta post. Had to make the trip eventually.

We started off with a walking tour of the city. Lot of cool history to check out there. Among all the site seeing, I tried out three breweries and a distillery in Savannah. We saw Moon River Brewing, Service Brewing Company, and New Realm Brewing (which also is a distillery). Additionally, we went to Ghost Coast Distillery.

All were solid places, but the beer of the trip goes to Service Brewing. The Raspberry Jelly Donut Pastry Sour was like the first bite of an actual jelly donut. I love me a good sour.

Ghost Coast Distillery was also a really good spot. Further away then the main downtown part of Savannah, it was worth the walk. Additionally, we had great food and drinks throughout the city. The wings at Cotton & Rye were top 3 wings I have ever had. Before I forget, Savannah allows open containers. More cities should do this. Creates an amazing atmosphere. Cleveland, I am talking to you. No reason the Ohio City neighborhood shouldn’t be open container. I digress.

Savannah is a beautiful city. It’s also surprisingly small. You can conquer most it in a long weekend. Good food, good history and Southern Hospitality. Great combo.
