(Augusta,GA) Augusta is finally getting in on the Craft Beer craze.
Riverwatch Brewing is looking for commission support for a wholesale beer license to set up a small brewery in a building near the Farmer’s Market.
The plan is to start with four different types of craft beers, sold in kegs to area bars and restaurants.
There will also be seasonal beers depending on the time of the year.
Micro-breweries have taken off across the county with some cities becoming vacation destinations for craft beer fans.
“Craft beer brings in huge amounts of economic benefits to an area lot of tourism if you go up to Asheville, North Carolina there’s a ton of them and people go from brewery to brewery and Asheville is known for it now,” said Brey Sloan Chief of Operations and Head Brewer.
Sloan who lives in Columbia County says the next step is for the commission to approve the brewery license, after that the plan is to have the beer in area businesses before the end of the year.
