EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH
Cynthia

Cynthia has been at The Distillery for quite a while. She is pretty sassy but shy at the same time. Don't feel bad if you haven't noticed her since she mostly likes to hang out on the third floor here. Her hobbies are mostly hiding behind pillars and throwing things at people that she doesn't like. Although, if Cynthia does like you, she'll just stare at you in the mirrors or knock on the door. Next time you head over here keep an eye out for her. She has been known to be seen in the girl's bathroom too!
 
FEATURED BREWERY
Wrecking Bar Brewpub
Picked as the best Brewpub in Atlanta 2011, 2012 and 2013!

They don't only make great beer, but they also have some awesome grub! I fell in love with them after a recent visit to their brewpub in Atlanta. I enjoyed every aspect of the place. The atmosphere is cool and casual, service was exceptional, the food was amazing (gotta try the veal tar tar), and the beer was top notch, of course. The brewery was an awesome 20th century Victorian-style home that has gone through some renovations and is now the home of the brewery! 
If you are ever in Atlanta this is a must stop!

10 SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE A CRAFT BEER SNOB
1. You refuse to drink a beer because you don't have the right glassware.

2. You insist on being in a dark room alone when you try a beer for the first time.

3. You don't serve the beer your friends bring over. Instead you choose to enlighten them with your (superior) selections.

4. You correct the bartender.

5. You think Chimay is "too mainstream" to bother drinking.

6. Your know how to pronounce "Reinheitsgebot" and work it into conversation when meeting a fellow beer lover for the first time.

7. You make suggestions to shoppers in the beer aisle without them asking. Worst yet, you criticize what is in their basket.

8.You won't drink beer at a party if it's from Bud, Miller, or Coors. 

9. You believe other people don't know how to drink beer the "right" way.

10. You think at least two items on this list is wrong and feel you have a good argument to defend your potentially snobbish behavior. 

I kinda hate it, but love it at the same time.....
Love,
