Decatur Metro | February 1, 2012

Assistant Superintendent Thomas van Soelen forwards this soft-copy of a postcard that went out to Decatur households a couple weeks back, reminding soon-to-be CSD parents that they can begin registering their children – who plan to attend Decatur schools next year, but currently do not attend – today at the Central Office at Westchester.

Wild Heaven Announces Fourth Brew: “Let There Be Light”

Decatur Metro | February 1, 2012

From Wild Heaven Craft Beers website…

Who says lighter beers have to be boring? Wild Heaven Craft Beers has taken on that challenge with their brand new brew Let There Be Light. As the brewery’s first “sessionable” beer, Let There Be Light comes in at only 4.7% ABV yet is full of flavor. Starting with both barley and wheat, brewmaster Eric Johnson added two rare hops—Nelson Sauvin and Sorachi Ace—along with a bit of orange peel, to create a complex beer with a citrus note that will change the way you think about “light” beer.

Let There Be Light will debut as the featured February “Beer of The Month” at several Georgia Taco Mac locations: Atlanta Metropolis (Peachtree Street), Virginia-Highland, Suwanee, Alpharetta, Cumming, Perimeter, Buford, Kennesaw, Newnan, Roswell (Crabapple) and Marietta (Dallas Highway).
