Georgia Sipper

If you can’t find RJ Rocker’s Son of a Peach ale, any peach ale will do.  This photo was snapped across from Cloverleaf Farms, which is a great little venue if you are thinking of getting hitched near Athens, Georgia.  The wedding was complete with fried chicken, a biscuit bar (yes, a biscuit bar), and thick Georgia humidity.  Perfect time for sippin’ a cold, summer cocktail.
