Two full weeks celebrating Georgia beer

On August 18th Atlanta’s Wrecking Bar Brewpub will kick off the inaugural Georgia Beer Fortnight with a bottle release of their highly sought after Mexican Siberius Maximus and a festival featuring 25+ of Georgia’s best beers, food, and live music. This is the first time the beer will be available in bottles. More information and tickets are available here.

Georgia’s craft beer community has seen amazing growth over the last couple of years and consumers have more choices than ever before. New players on the scene line Roswell’s Variant Brewing and Savannah’s Two Tides hit the ground running with fantastic offerings, and established breweries like Atlanta’s Red Brick have made impressive changes in the quality and variety of their beers. These events are a great excuse to visit a brewery you haven’t been to or revisit an old favorite.

From August 18 – September 1, 2018, more than 50 beer-related events will take place across the state at sponsoring brewery, brewpub, restaurant, beer bar, and retail establishments. The events will be geographically focused as follows:

Saturday 08/18 – Sunday 08/19 | Atlanta Downtown / Midtown / East

Sunday 08/19 – Monday 08/20 | Atlanta Westside

Monday 08/20 – Thursday 08/23 | Atlanta North

Thursday 08/23 – Friday 08/24 | Decatur / Avondale Estates

Friday 08/24 – Saturday 08/25 | Athens

Saturday 08/25 – Saturday 09/01 | Savannah, in conjunction with Savannah Beer Week

Safety is of utmost concern, so several areas will have shuttle services, hotel room blocks and be encouraged to take advantage of the GCBG newly implemented partnership with Lyft which offers 50% off of return rides from participating breweries with receipt of ride there.
