One year after breaking ground for a brewery, Tantrum Brewing of Cleveland, Georgia, is realizing a dream.
The family-owned business is the brainchild of Ross Crumpton, who like other beer-loving men, got into beer-making during college. Years later, he returned to his hometown, joined forces with other family members and began the process of opening a craft brewery.
Unique among Georgia brewers—and most craft beer companies in general—Tantrum was awarded a designation for Agri-tourism because the family grows the hops used in the beer production on its own farm. Last year the family planted 300 hops plants, with five different varieties suitable for the types of beer they plan to create. When you visit the brewery, you can see the hops plants in the adjoining fields. Can’t get much closer than that to the source of your beer! Tours of the hops yards will be available from May to August.
The first beer Tantrum Brewing introduced was a Berliner Weisse-style sour ale, just one of a lineup of new brews. Keep tabs on this company as it develops even more interesting pours. Better yet, stop by the Tap Room any Thursday through Sunday and do a little tasting.
