Trendsetters: What’s Brewing Near You?
Did you know there are more than 40 breweries and brewpubs in Georgia? While more than half congregate in Metro Atlanta, there are people making quality and interesting beers all over the state. Even tiny Omaha in Stewart County (population 1,611) has its own brewery.
According to one recent study, in 2014 breweries and brewpubs in the state generated more than 4,278 jobs and $73.1 million in economic output. Tourism is big business for these breweries as well, with more than 389,000 people taking brewery tours in 2014. So support your local brewery – take a tour or a taste while you’re out and about this fall. – Christy Simo
