Brewed for Atlanta Beer Week before there was an Atlanta, there was only the terminus of the Western and Atlantic Railroad. That was quite a while ago and proved to be the impetus for the city. Atlanta has grown by leaps and bounds in the decades that have passed. We've dedicated a beer to a city, a fresh-hopped India Pale Ale we call Zero Mile. What is a fresh-hopped beer? As the name suggests, the hops are fresh - these were picked just 4 hours before being dumped into the brewing process. We used 575 pounds of locally grown hops including Centennial, Cascade, Magnum, Chinook and Nugget to brew a mere 30 barrels. That's over 19 pounds of hops in every barrel! One would expect this to be outrageously bitter, but you'll find the bitterness to be balanced by sweet malts. It's a bigger beer at 7.2 ABV, but we think you'll be on the right track after your first sip.
