Dockside Brewery, is eager to fill you in on the wonderful opportunities brewing. Over the last few months, we have done multiple tastings with excellent feedback. One tasting was with a very popular restaurant and bar located in downtown Savannah. The restaurant wants to exclusively, carry all six of our main lineup and a seasonal. But that’s not all, they also want to contract us to make them one or two beers to call their own. While these beers would have the restaurant’s labeling, we would have credits for brewing on the packaging and get royalties off of distribution sales. The tastings we speak of yielded great results. We gave each taster a scoring card with a comment box and area to judge on:
- Appearance (10 points)
- Smell (10 points)
- Taste (30 points)
- After Taste (20 points)
- Drinkability (30 points)
- Total (the total of each score tallied with up to a possible 100 points)
The average score for each beer tested is listed below with a few standout comments for each:

As you can see, our main line up is a true success. It should be noted that when our tasters were asked which of our beers they liked best there was not one that was not someone’s favorite. We are looking forward to the Savannah Brew Festival, which is only a month away. We are still looking for investors to keep moving our product out the door and into a bar, restaurant, or store near you. Become a member of the Dockside Brewery family and take a chance on us, we won’t disappoint.
Cheers,

A few years ago I’d have to pay somneoe for this information.
I found your weblog web site on google and check a couple of of your early posts. Continue to keep up the excellent operate. I simply additional up your RSS feed to my MSN Information Reader. In search of ahead to studying extra from you in a while!…
All the Pollon bashers must live on anheotr planet. I’ve lived in a lot of place, in many parts of the country -both city and rural, and in each case the local farms and cattle ranches were being decimated – disappearing to make way for huge housing developments. Those that were left, were in areas that were troubled by pollution -as in contamination due to runoff of animal feces and huge amounts of nitrogen based fertilizers that got into the local streams, and underground wells (groundwater). It was my profession to know all these things. Free Range Farms???? What Planet do YOU live on??? The only remaining farms that I see were either small local -just surviving – or huge Commercial Farms with crops of GMO corn and GMO soy. My point being that there are rapidly dwindling numbers of FREE-RANGE-Grassy-Plains-And-Knolls cattle ranches/farms, and a growing number of “commercial animal factories”. The difference is that the animals are kept in a very contained small area and fed “grains” instead of grazing – and they start feeding this way from the beginning. The open grazing stage is all but eliminated. If I remember correctly, many of the cattle were imported (Canada?) where there are still some grazing farms left – and then they were sold to these animal factories for fattening up (on hell knows what? GMO crap and pellets made from other-animal-body-parts! Hello – which is why there is an epidemic of Mad Cow. And if you are in denial that we have a Mad Cow Disease problem -then YOU can eat the beef and let your brain turn to swiss cheese! Enjoy! As for me if I were a big beef consumer I would(as many of my neighbors have done)? I would go and SEEK out a “local grazing farm”, if you can find one in your area… find out how their cattle is raised, and then only buy from them if their cattle is fed natural grass or non-GMO feed. Pick a cow, have it dressed by a local butcher, share the meat with your neighbors or family. It is becoming almost as popular to do this as Co-op/ “Subscription” Farming. So if the USDA doesn’t take an active role in protecting our food supply then we need to become more pro-active on our own. Yes I DO eat beef – but I know EXACTLY where it’s coming from! If USDA or other governing body actually forced these cattle ranchers/ associations to implement a very in-expensive test on ALL cows – it would be no surprise as to how many sick cows that actually make it to the slaughterhouses and to our local supermarkets! ) Whoever wrote “..drive around the country … notice those Grassy Hills?…” well hello! I don’t know what freaking planet you live on… but those beautiful Grassy Hills that once were???… are now owned by huge developers – and thousands of $500k+ homes clutter those grassy hills..” Whoever thinks there are still Non-GMO, non-industrial farms left??? Get a Grip. Get Real!
Good write-up, I am normal visitor of one’s blog, maintain up the excellent operate, and It is going to be a regular visitor for a lengthy time.
