| The Georgia Craft Beer Fest is always a blast celebrating local breweries! Get ready for the 2015 Spring version on Saturday! |
The Georgia
Craft Beer Fest, Lincoln Stations’s Bottlepalooza, and the annual Atlanta Food
& Wine Festival top my list!
Whaddup!
Now you know I do my best to highlight events that need our serious
consideration to attend throughout the world, but with Atlanta being my hometown, it’s
a must to show some love for one of the best cities in the world. This is especially when it comes to eatin’, sippin’ and overall kickin’ it in Georgia's capital. With this
weekend on the horizon, here are three events you shouldn’t miss:
May 29th
through May 31st
1065 Peachtree St NE/12th Street and Peachtree Walk
I go to this event every year and for good reason. While in the past I
have hosted numerous beer sessions, did some photography and got
my Instagram on, but this time I roll as a guest. Based at the posh Loews Atlanta Hotel
and the always popping Tasting Tents
across the street, try and get the last few tickets available and
indulge in some of the South’s best cuisine and libations; learn some cooking
tips; and step up your culinary knowledge. It’s awesome! Here is a cool photo album showcasing
last year’s edition and a cool graphic illustrating what went down in 2014 here.
Next to Red
Brick Brewery, Saturday, May 30th
1 pm to 6 pm
(VIP starts at noon)
2323 Defoor
Hills Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318
If the picture at the top doesn’t show the good time I had in the past kicking it with Georgia’s
finest breweries at GCBF, maybe their official description below will entice ya to get
your sip on with me on Saturday! Get tickets here. Support
Georgia beer!
They Say: The Georgia Craft Beer
Festival is an outdoor festival held in Atlanta, featuring over 30 top

older).
Sunday, May
31st
12:30 p.m.,
until…
2280 Henry
Clower Boulevard, Snellville, GA 30078
Now you know I
love my bottle shares; you know, the joints where everyone shows off their brew
collection by bringing bottles to pour for everyone? (check out the one I hosted
at Catch 22 Gastropub in Athens, Georgia here.)
Well, my homies from Lincoln Fill Station are throwing an awesome one (with a
cool name) on Sunday and I will definitely be there! Bring a bottle and kick it with us.
They say: You know the best thing about being a beer hoarder? Most of your
friends are beer hoarders too! It’s time to share our liquid treasures we have
been collecting! Starting at 12:30 PM on Sunday, May 31st, we will be
meeting on the patio and cracking open some of the World’s best beers. For
those who haven’t been to a bottle share before, this is how it works:
Bring something worthy of sharing. Not your run of the mill, store bought Bud Light. You want to be proud of what you are bringing. Don’t have anything that you’ve been aging for a while? Bring some nice food (this means more than bean dip or a salad) to join in on the fun! We want a good crowd, so spread the word near and far! This event will likely be PACKED, so get here early!
