Best Local Brewery BOA Award Winner

Dogwood Decadent X
Brewer Crawford Moran had no particular style in mind when he dreamed up DOGWOOD DECADENT X featuring 10 different malts and 10 different hops from around the world. The result?

Brewer Crawford Moran had no particular style in mind when he dreamed up DOGWOOD DECADENT X featuring 10 different malts and 10 different hops from around the world. The result? The city’s best hometown brew, a rich, complex, brown-colored ale with a toasted malt flavor and complex toffee and caramel notes. Oats give it a smooth texture and the generous hop level counters the sweetness with an earthy bitterness and a clean finish. Each sip brings up different highlights. Available only on draft at 10 local beer-friendly pubs. Seek it out at Twain’s, the Gravity Pub, or the Globe in Athens. less...

Perfectly balanced, with a sweet, hoppy aroma, a light but flavorful body and a crisp finish, the 420 seems to be a satisfying taste for many types of beer drinkers; a beer that everyone can be proud to introduce to visitors from out of town seeking local color.
