Your guide to the most Popular Alcoholic Beverages in The State of Georgia, USA
Alcohol is glorified in every culture with many tastes that are distinct from each and every culture has their own tastes. Here’s what’s most popular in the state of Georgia:
Wine
When it comes to producing the best wine from grapes, Georgia is developing its reputation as a great wine producing region. The northeast corner of Georgia in particular is special because of its hills and soils that make it conducive to growing grapes. There are more than 20 wineries in the area and the number is growing. Look for a good variety of wines ranging from great Cabernet to sweet regionals. Of particular interest are the wines produced at Serenity Cellars where they specialize in Italian varietals. Here’s a map of the wineries in the region.
Beer
Georgia as a craft beer haven? Some people may think Georgia would be the worst state in the US for craft brewing? This was largely due to long existing laws that prohibit breweries not to sell beer to the general public but this has changed when the new law went into effect on Sept.1, 2017 that allowed breweries to sell beer directly to consumers in taprooms thanks to Georgia Craft Brewers Guild. Nevertheless, Sea the Stars beer takes the gold medal as the most popular locally produced craft beer in Georgia. This beer brewed by Creature Comforts Georgia, US has a combination of maple, chocolate and bourbon taste with layers upon layers of flavour. The low carbonation leads to a mouthfeel that was smooth and thick but not super heavy.
Bourbon & Scotch
If you’re a devout lover of bourbon and scotch, give it a try to tour some of the Georgia distilleries, you might be surprised to know that Georgia is not only known for wine and craft beer, but also known for its bourbon. The white whiskey or American Spirit Whiskey produced by ASW Distillery has stand out to be the popular local bourbon in the state. With American Spirit Whiskey, you’ll find a smooth, perfect sip on the rocks made from the finest bourbon-quality. Distilled and then ultra-filtered to remove the bite of typical un-aged whiskey. This white dog as popularly know can be pulled straight out of the liquor cabinet to make a great mixed drink without a bunch of fuss.
Cocktails
Cool off the summer with the Georgia’s most popular cocktail-the Mimosa cocktail. The champagne cocktail as sometimes known is mixture of fresh juice from half an orange, equal part of champagne and a cube of ice in a wine glass.
Hard liquors
What’s somewhat surprising here is unlike other state drinkers, Georgia drinkers have taken to a Tennessee brand that they swear by which is Jack Daniels. The charcoal mellowed whiskey gives a smooth aroma and flavour of vanilla, toasted oak and caramel. This quality marks a difference from other whiskey.
