Blase Blasé with a DryPA!

Drink Local! I know we all hear this a lot from local craft breweries but it’s true. Not only are you helping out your community by giving money to a local business but it’s a beer that is most likely tailored to what the community likes.

I recently got to go to Dry County Brewing after a tough midterm in my beer culture class to go drink more beer! We were given a glass to try three separate beers of our choice in. I thoroughly like the beers that I had. To start off, I’ll tell you a little bit about Dry County Brewing.

This brewery is located in Kennesaw, Georgia and has on September 8, 2018, they will have been in their current location for three years. The crew over at Dry County started brewing beer in college and decided that they were pretty good at it. This led them to start renting out a brewery in Southern Mississippi and shipping their beer back to Georgia to distribute.

These guys make a lot of creative brews including beers that use wine yeast or are a barrel- aged in Bourbon barrels. The three beers that use wine yeast are Brut County, Blasé Blasé, and a Chardonnay barrel-aged witbier. I personally tried Dry County’s Berliner Weisse (called Neon Neon), Blasé Blasé (a rose wine/beer hybrid beer), and the Brut County (champagne yeast with IPA hops. I nicknamed it a DryPA). There were so many beer style choices on their menu that it made it hard to choose which three to try. The Neon Neon was one of my first Berliner Weisse beers EVER, and I went home with a 6-pack from the brewery.

If you’re ever in the Marietta/Kennesaw area, I suggest stopping by this brewery for an innovative style of beer. Also, keep a lookout for these guys, they have a distillery license and will be distilling gin, white rum, whiskey, and bourbon pretty soon!
