It seems to me that he simply pointed out that distribution in growlers does provide an important alternative for new breweries and that changes in the the three tier distribution system is what should be focused on to give breweries the ability to sell directly for off premise consumption.

Neither of these points was clearly made in the original article.

Look on beer advocate and most beers are 3 or 4 stars.

You are correct in that the article does not deny anything I said about growlers stores nor does it mention them - which was one of my points.

Of course breweries need distribution - any manufacturing business does. But for the purpose of this discussion please consider "distribution" to be the entire process involved in getting a manufacturer's product to the end user rather than simply the idea of simply picking a distributor.

The article isn't denying anything you are saying about the value of growler stores. I am curious to know which of the breweries mentioned in the article are starting draft-only or will have a bottling and/or canning line.

That was a nice article about Georgia Breweries you did a great job in informing us about local breweries but you missed the mark on two points.

First, the Covert Hops Society has been around a lot longer than the mid nineties.

But no love for Dogwood as another pioneer of Atlanta's brewing scene?
