E125: Sipping through the Phinizy swamp with Savannah River Brewing

When you think about Augusta, you probably think about that big golf tournament. 

You likely don't think about craft beer. And up until a couple years ago, you'd be right. Georgia's second largest city had been a beer desert. But some pioneers are starting to change that. 

From beer bars like the Hive to breweries like Riverwatch and Savannah River Brewing Company, it's now possible to get some great craft beer in the city. 

On this episode, we talk to Savannah River Brewing Company owner Steve Ellison, head brewer Adam Fullmer and taproom manager Ashlie Arsenault about the craft scene, developing a brewery, and the startup process. Plus, Tim tries to pronounce "Phinizy Swamp" with hilarious results.
