The past year was a big one for the Georgia beer industry.
The state's new beer law, which allows craft beer and liquor manufacturers to sell directly to consumers, was passed in 2017 , and went into effect in September.
Even more reason to celebrate Georgia Beer Day, which falls on Jan. 27. Several local breweries are hosting events to recognize the Georgia Craft Brewers Guild, and we have plenty of suggestions for what to drink:
