Georgia Breweries Embrace New Law, Increase Options
Monday, September 14th, 2015
Surrounded by a scrum of jovial beer drinkers waiting to grab a bottle of a rare new ale debuting in the tasting room at Three Taverns Brewing in Decatur, Brian Purcell was beaming like a proud papa.
“This is historic,” Purcell said, ceremoniously measuring a pale, bubbly pour of the Belgian-style beer called Inceptus into a heavy chalice embossed with the Three Taverns logo. “This is what I always wanted for a day like this. You have your first taste of a new beer here at the brewery and then you can take a bottle home with you.”
