OK, so most local brews retail for around the same amount, so the “for the money” qualifier here isn’t that apt.  But the franchise is “for the money” so we had to tack it onto the tail of this post title.  Didn’t realize it was a franchise?  Well neither did anyone else, including myself!

Anyway, this should be an interesting topic, since there’s a good amount of pent up passion surrounding local suds.  And by local beers, we’re looking for the specific beer, not just the company.  So we’re talking Sweetwater IPA or a Red Hare Watership Brown or a Wild Heaven Invocation.  ‘K?

And I guess the definition of “local” here is Georgia.  But if you want to stretch it up into Western North Carolina, I won’t complain.
