I am desperately in need of good news even if it is about strangers. Saturday, I went to Service Brewing for Georgia Beer Day, and I met this cute young couple. The guy is from Birmingham, England and the lady is from Tennessee. They met on Tinder and have been together for seven months.
I am picky about beer. When I was younger I used to drink Stella Artois, Blue Moon and maybe a Pilsner Urqell but now I drink mostly craft beer and I prefer IPAs. Craft beers tend to excel with IPAs in my opinion. IPAs are hoppier than other beer, and I like the taste. What is craft beer? According to the CraftBeer.com, craft beer is small, independent and traditional.
The first time I went to a microbrewery was in Cincinnati. Back in the 1990’s I would hang out at this place called Barrelhouse Brewery which was a brewery and brewpub. It was the first place where I learned how beer is made since they regularly gave brewery tours. Years later, I toured Brooklyn Brewery which is now one of the biggest craft brewers in the United States.
My third brewery tour was just a few weeks ago at Service Brewing which is craft brewery located here in Savannah. Service Brewing was founded by veteran Kevin Ryan in 2014.
“Our mission first and foremost is to make great craft beer, but we also want to give back to charities that support service”.
Not only does Service have an IPA, they brew a double IPA called Battlewagon. Know the difference between a Pale Ale, an IPA and double (Imperial) IPA.
On Friday, I got a chance to meet the staff and take a group photo of the team. They had raised money for a nonprofit that is focused on suicide prevention for soldiers. Service Brewing serves the community of Savannah, soldiers and veterans by its mission to serve others and to support others who serve. The beer is good, too.
