Scofflaw Brewing Co. opening soon in Atlanta

Atlanta’s newest brewery is hard at work brewing up beers for their release events beginning July 26th. Owner Matt Shirah gave us a tour of the brewery and shared some info on what we’ll see from Scofflaw Brewing when they open up as well as in the future.

When my buddy Joe (a brewer at Scofflaw) heard I was going to do a video there he said he didn’t know I was a videographer, I told him I wear a lot of hats. Joe said I better do them right and use some cool special effects, I had to clarify that I was a shitty videographer… I still think you’ll get the point.

Scofflaw’s Brewmaster has a pretty impressive background

Brewmaster Travis Herman met Matt Shirah a few years ago and after a some conversations they decided they wanted to build a brewery together in Atlanta. Travis is no newbie to the brewing game, he’s previously worked with Russian River and Lost Abbey, and he’s also a microbiologist. We intended to chat with Travis some during the tour but he was busy brewing and unloading their new canning line. We’ll definitely have Matt and Travis join us on a future show.

Expect to see Pale Ales and IPAs at Scofflaw’s initial launch. The also have an Imperial Stout that will go into bourbon barrels and they’ve harvested local yeast strains for their sour/wild program, which could take up to two years to bear fruit. I sampled some of the brews we’ll see including their Westside IPA with CTZ and Simcoe hops, Slim Pale Ale, Basement IPA, and the base for their Absentia Stout and I think beer fans will really enjoying them.
