Huntsville's Mad Malts Brewing joined us this week.
NOTE: We need your vote! Be sure to cast your ballot for the BEST OF CRAFT BEER 2016 in Georgia and Alabama. We'll have the results on our end of the year show December 31.
As we get into the homestretch into Christmas and the new year, we were able to talk with the crew behind Huntsville's Mad Malts Brewing. Co-Owners Chris Bramon and Jeff Peck joined us to talk about their start in craft beer, the reason behind their name change, what they learned at the Great American Beer Fest, and what year 2 has in store for them.
We also had homebrewer extraordinaire Jon Shari (of Little Cottage Brewery fame). Brian Hewitt also joined us in studio, bringing in a bomber of Shari's American Imperial Stout, Wax Off.
