#94: James Massey | Two Tides Brewing

Almost exactly a year later, we once again found our way into a
Zoom conversation with a Georgia brewer. This time around, it was
former accountant James Massey who, with his wife Liz, has owned
and operated Savannah's Two Tides. We were introduced to Two
Tides through the fandom of BBB employee Nate Travis, who used to
live in Savannah and frequent the brewery. So we begin the
conversation by separating rosy second-hand memories from reality
(turns out they're one in the same) and getting into Two Tides
location - a 100-year old house, the downstairs of which is now
occupied by the brewery's production equipment while the second
floor contains their tasting room. We also learn about Georgia's
EXTREMELY prohibitive and antiquated brewing laws, which explain
why Savannah (somehow) is home to only six breweries while
Charleston, SC - a comparative coastal city merely two hours away
- claims about thirty. We also get into Two Tide's beers,
particularly two styles that has never before been broached on
the podcast: BEER SLUSHIES and MULLED STOUT. Finally, the old and
new combine for James in yet another genre-expanding edition of
The Three Bay.
