I to am located in Georgia, and I am surprised at how few breweries there are in the SE. I have done a lot of research in the short time that I have been brewing and it looks like the SE is being left behind in the Craft Brewing Revolution. That mean its a huge opportunity if you can get an established brand before more established brewers enter the market. I have looked at the possibility of a Brew Pub or Craft Brewery in the next 5 -10 years. Good luck on you efforts!
