The gents at Burnt Hickory Brewery in Kennesaw certainly live up to their mantra, To Be Minimal Would Be Criminal.

Known for their big beers and bold creations, Owner Scott Hedeen talks about their newest creation – the 2015 Noggin Knocker. The popular Egg Nog Rum Aged Milk Stout will be officially released at their event on Friday 11/27. We got to sample it, and it certainly delivers. The nutmeg really hits you at first sniff, and the mouth feel of the lactose in the milk stout makes this a bold, big, drinkable release.

Scott also talks about his next release – the Courageous Conductor Red Velvet Porter.

Oh, and finally, big plans are in the works for their anniversary party in April.

Next, Tim gets down and beer nerdy with head brewer Will Avery. They talk about the challenges of taking a home brew recipe up to a retail batch, the growth of the industry here in Georgia and much more.

Always a good interview with these guys.
