In this issue

It is with a great sense of pride that we are able to present our fans and readers with this new print magazine dedicated solely to discovering the world of beer in Atlanta, Georgia and the Southeast.

Within these pages you can expect to find the best in beer and brewing, and, moreover, you will find an exploration of all of the things that beer lovers enjoy. Many times, we are unaware that these can be found in our own backyards.

It has been a tremendous battle building The Beer Connoisseur brand from scratch into the publication it is today while navigating a tumultuous and uncertain media environment. But as I look back, being successful in this business is no different than being successful in any business. The truth is, almost all avenues of business are difficult and those who come out on top are those willing to put the work in and refuse to quit along the way.

And the great secret is that when you are passionate about what you do, it provides a nigh-invulnerable defense against quitting when times get tough.

The Beer Connoisseur has survived longer than all its direct competitors nationwide. Today, it is the last publication standing serving the beer industry in the general consumer space.

The Beer Connoisseur would not exist without you, our hometown readers, many of whom are our founding lifetime subscribers. We hope that this new Atlanta/Georgia edition is worthy of your time to read and utilize as your new local guide to discovering the world of beer.

Cheers, Santé, Próst and Thank You, Atlanta!
