"In July 2017, I won a beer trip at The Old 320 Beer Fest at Max Lager's to visit Germany with Brewtopia. It changed my life. Last month I went on my fourth trip (I paid for the last three) to Europe with Owen Ogletree. These trips are fantastic!" -- Mary Fiorello, Atlanta beer blogger.
Deadline to reserve is July 29. Only FOUR spots remain for this Belgian beer trip...

 From the brewers at Wicked Weed...
Wicked Weed Watermelon Dragonfruit Burst is now available in six pack cans! It's a mouth-watering and juicy session sour that's the perfect expression of two complex, fresh fruits. So put some fruit on your palate and color your thirst this summer!

Look for Line Creek Brewing's current beers that include Total Consciousness Episode Two, Chinchillin' and Slow Lane. Total Consciousness is an 8.3% ABV, double dry-hopped double IPA made with Citra and Mosaic hops for a complex, fruity character. Chinchillin' comes in as a crushable, hazy, session IPA with citrusy, floral hops and light body, while Slow Lane offers 4.6% ABV and a dry, acidic, fruity wheat character with added depth from peaches and apricots.
 Creature Comforts Brewing continues to impress Georgia craft beer nerds with a number of new releases each month. Be sure to taste Everything Is… dry-hopped pilsner. The current edition features a single-hop regime of Vic Secret from Australia that provide chardonnay and tropical citrus notes. Get Artistic pale ale returns as part of Creature's program to support local arts. 2019's Get Artistic version is a 5.5% ABV pale ale with Nelson Sauvin and Hallertau Blanc hops. Lastly, Creature Comforts' Automatic pale ale, brewed with a blend of Mosaic and Crystal hops, showcases berry notes, grapefruit, pine and floral tones.
 Brian "Spike" Buckowski of Terrapin Beer Company concocted an amazing blend of hemp terpenes, seeds and dank flavors to accentuate the brewery's new Jazz Cabbage IPA. "Aromas of the choicest nugs give way to skunky, resinous hop flavors from a blend of Chinook, Columbus and Simcoe hops," notes Spike. "The beer's packaging features art by Richard Biffle that plays on the name of the beer and stems from Biffle's jam band roots."
