  • Some beers will run out before the end of the event.
  • All attendees are required to sign a liability release before entering. Preview the waiver here.
  • DD tickets: This event provides great entertainment that is worth the price of admission. The ticket price also reflects a donation for a charity. We believe in drinking responsibly, and there will be taxis at the venue at all times during the festival. There are also hotels within walking distance, with the Foundry offering a very special rate for attendees (see above). Considering all this and the limited space at the event, we are not able to offer designated driver tickets.
Anyone who attempts to enter this event without a paid ticket will be fined for trespassing by the Athens Police.


The Classic City Brew-Fest offers a huge variety of beers to sample from all over the world -- including  world-class, gourmet, strong beers!  This year's festival will be an enjoyable, intimate and comfortable way to taste and learn about these exciting beers. Details on beer brewing and styles are stressed at the event -- along with information on responsible drinking. Attendees can also enjoy live music, non-alcohol drinks, and purchase delicious food items from the Athens Steam Company Pub booth.

There are more styles of beer in the world than wine!  People are once again appreciating hand-crafted, flavorful, world styles of beer that used to be popular before prohibition. Learn about and experience the world of beer at our upcoming Classic City Brew Fest.  The event will be held in three of Foundry Park Inn's meeting halls, the Melting Point music venue and patio, and the Steam Company Pub.  There will be no on-site parking, so please park in one of the downtown parking decks near the Classic Center and walk down Thomas Street (away from downtown) to the Foundry Park Inn.

BEING A BREW FEST VOLUNTEER IS GREAT FUN!

We STILL need responsible volunteers!  It's really fun to pour and be a part of the festival action (some say it's as much fun as attending), and when the festival clean up is over, the volunteers get to participate in the fantastic volunteer party with beers and food!  There is also a free t-shirt and other goodies in it for you.  Volunteers must be at least 21 (photo IDs will be checked) and are NOT permitted to drink during the hours of the fest. We also need people to help work the door, run the registration booths out front, and dump the dump buckets.  There will be a preview volunteer meeting at Trappeze Pub in Athens on Wednesday, April 7, 2010 at 7 PM for those who want to sign up for their favorite tables. The MANDATORY meeting for ALL volunteers is at 11:30 AM SHARP in the Foundry's Melting Point music hall on the day of the fest (April 11).  All volunteers are encouraged to show up on festival day as early as 9 AM to help load beer - your help is greatly appreciated.

Please drop Owen Ogletree an email if you'd like to volunteer.  Be sure the word VOLUNTEER is in the subject field.   NOTE: Due to the volume of volunteer emails, Owen cannot answer each one individually.  Rather, bulk volunteer email information will be sent out starting in middle March.  Thanks!
