Monday Night's Jonathan Baker and I went hard at last year's Tie One On!

Monday Night gives us ‘Five,’ Eventide goes Olympic, Terrapin gets fruity with us, plus new brews from Orpheus and Jekyll!

Whaddup?!
You thought that was it for the week? Hell naw? Part One had some gangster events, but let’s keep it rolling with these joints going on around the ATL this week too, along with a joint in Athens! These descriptions are straight from the source:
Peep it:

Monday Night Gives Us ‘Five’ with Tie One On, Saturday, August 6th, 2-9 pm! 
My bro Lamont holding one up, Ale Sharpton style last year!

Watermelon Party with Terrapin and My Athens on August 7, 4:30 pm to 8 pm!
They Say: My Athens & Terrapin Beer Co. are teaming up for a belated celebration of the release of Terrapin’s Watermelon Gose this summer! Join us for an afternoon of wallowing in everything a late Georgia summer has to offer — juicy melons, juicy beer and a good excuse to let the kids splash around in the sun. Read on for more info and click here for tickets!


Jekyll Brewing launches Seven Bridges Oktoberfest in Mid-August!
They Say: Jekyll Brewing, based in Alpharetta, Georgia, just announced that Seven Bridges Oktoberfest, a Märzen style beer fermented with true German lager yeast, will be available in package and on tap in select markets in Georgia, Tennessee, and South Carolina, from mid-August through October 2016. Seven Bridges nods to both the traditional German Märzen-style as well as new American techniques, by using both Munich malts and Tettnanger hops. While Seven Bridges is traditionally German in nature, the name is wildly regional: inspired by the allegedly haunted CCC Road with seven bridges, in Rome, Georgia. As summer draws to a close, Jekyll Brewing is giving craft beer lovers something to look forward to with the release of a true seasonal brew that celebrates the coming of fall and cooler months ahead.

Holla!
