Atlanta is moving up on the list in terms of beer cities, partially due to the overwhelming success of beer tap giant, Taco Mac (The Trot Line thanks you, again and again.)

One of these dents has been made by The Vortex. If you have ever driven through Little Five Points, you cannot miss the giant … [Read more...]
Sippin’ Back on Costco’s Small Batch Bourbon
Over the past year, Costco has been making noise in the alcohol market. In Georgia, they are legally allowed to sell liquor, but it is shop separated from the rest of the building.

Atlanta Is Sweeter on Earth Day
Life in the South this year has been pretty great. We had a few early hints of that warm, Georgia weather back in March, and now we are all ready to put away those sweaters and welcome in the consistent warmth of April and May. Now that it's time to bust out the shorts and flip flops (regardless of any early morning chill lingering around,) it is time to celebrate with your friends and the rest of Atlanta with the perfect outdoor spring event in the South over fatty foods, cold brews, and … [Read more...]
