Enjoy the classics at Ironshield Brewing We're bringing you one from our backyard this week!  If you're a Georgia beer nerd you may know the name Glen Sprouse.  If you don't know his name then you probably know some of his breweries.  The old timers may recall Phoenix Brewing which opened in Atlanta at The Prado in 1996, slightly less older timers likely know 5 Seasons that took over the space in 2001.  Sprouse was part of both of those ventures.He stepped away from brewing for a while before opening up Ironshield Brewing in Lawrenceville, GA.  The brewery features classic European styles including Seven Sisters Munchner Lager, which was a staple on the taps at 5 Seasons.  With the addition of Jason Carroll to the team some true Irish beers have hit the taps.  Carroll came to America from Ireland where he brewed at Guinness's Open Gate Brewery, among others.  In addition to their Ironshield brand the brewery also contract brews under Big Kettle Brewing and expects to brew 30,0000 barrels for their customers in 2022.Welcome back Lorelei HefeweizenIronshield offers several returning seasonals, like Lorelei Hefeweizen which returns this weekend. (Release party March 26th, 2022)  We got a sneak preview of this one and it's one fine Hef.  Next up is Warhammer Maibock in late May.  We're all in for that one on the name alone.Although contract brewing is the largest part of the brewery's business right now they are working diligently to grow the Ironshield brand.  If you're a fan of classic ales and lagers do yourself a favor and check them out.The Beer ListIronshield BrewingLorelei HefeweizenSeven Sisters Munchner LagerIrish StoutFollow, Subscribe, Share!If you enjoyed this episode please share it with a friend and make sure to follow us on the socials!Listen and Subscribe: The Podcast Park | Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Thanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!
