Yup, it’s official! Athens, Georgia, is going to be crazy this weekend especially when it comes to beer lovers! I posted the Creature Comforts Anniversary in my prior post which is happening Saturday, April 5th. What follows next—the Third Annual Athens Beer Fest—on Sunday, April 6th, from 1pm to 4pm at 440 Foundry Pavilion at The Classic Center hosted by the Classic Center Cultural Foundation. I will be in Athens the whole weekend, so hopefully we will be toasting a beer together. Below is the information straight from the source, including links for tickets and participating websites. Here is the direct link to the Athens Beer Fest website as well.
See you there!
