Small batch  ·  West End, Atlanta

Tiger Island Beer Co.

Brewing since 2017. A small scale passion in a West End cellar, leaning mostly sour with the occasional Belgian. Four times a year I open the door and we share fresh pints together.

Tiger Island's tiger mark: a roaring tiger drawn in white linework.

Once a quarter

The Quarterly
Business Review

It's a chill tasting: everything brewed that quarter goes on the table for folks to try. Intentionally small scale. Catch up with old friends and new. No money, no tickets, no cover, no bar. Bring a chair and picnic situation.

Before there was an agenda

How it usually goes

Cans in a cooler, cups in a park, mostly with the Atlanta Snack Club after a run. No glassware, no tasting mats, nobody swirling anything and saying the word "mouthfeel." The QBR is the same thing with a date on it.

The roadmap

The Tiger Island cellar: a stainless conical fermenter on a steel bench, with a pegboard of clamps, a funnel and a grain mill behind it.

Everything taking up space downstairs, and roughly when it'll be drinkable. Dates move. Beer doesn't care about your calendar.

The suggestion box

There is always a spot open. Tell me what to brew and it goes on the shortlist, the room picks at the next review, and whatever wins turns up in the one after. Left alone I will default to something sour. Talk me out of it.

Stuck?

One idea per person, and I read all of them. Your address joins the list too, and you can unsubscribe any time.
