E93: Floatin' Down the Chattabrewchee

Chattabrewchee Southern Brewhouse is making history. 

• It's West Point (Georgia)'s first brewery
• It's the first brewery in the state to have self-serve taps
• It's the first brewery in the country to have a female, active duty military owner. 

We talked to co-owner Mike Denehy and brewmaster Barry Stevens this week. With a grand opening, some delays from Irma, it's been an eventful first month of operation. But now they are stepping up production, ready to go and are dedicated on becoming a must-visit location for beer lovers.

• Chattabrewchee brews, including:
