Chocolate South Wins 1st Place at the Flavor of Georgia contest!

Atlanta-based Chocolate South took the grand prize in the 2013 Flavor of Georgia Food Product Contest.
 
Peach Tea Bonbons win over judges.
 Atlanta architect Amy Stankus spent years creating beautiful buildings, but lucky for us she’s turned her sights to some smaller more delicious - chocolate creations.
Amy's Peach Tea Bonbons were one of 24 products sampled and judged by a panel of food brokers, buyers and other food industry experts. In addition to winning the overall grand prize, Chocolate South took home first place in the competition’s confections category.
 
 
Governor Nathan Deal & Commissioner of Agriculture Gary Black present the 2013 Flavor of Georgia first prize award to Chocolate South owner, Amy Stankus.

HB314 RALLY @ 5 SEASONS WESTSIDE - TOMORROW!

THURSDAY - MARCH 14TH @ 7PM

 
As many people know there is a bill in the Georgia legislature that would allow people to buy a small amount of beer direct from a Georgia brewery. This is a huge deal for us small Georgia breweries and brewpubs. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT! So we're hosting an ol' fashioned rally to kick it off. THURSDAY the 14th (3/14, get it?) starting around 7:00PM. We'll provide lots of food for everyone and we'll be introducing a new IPA, "Complicated Issues IPA" that is brewed with a new experimental hop that we were very lucky to get a hold of. We will be donating $1 from every pint sold to Georgians for World Class Beer, which is a grass roots effort to help pass this bill. The night should be a lot of fun and the goal is to get everyone interested involved and pointed in the right direction. We'll be answering basic questions like who to contact? When? And what is the best way to get our voices heard?
