are proud to announce the...

13th Annual

Classic City Brewfest, Athens, GA


FAQ:  What if I need to transfer my tickets to someone else?
Answer:  Just have the person arrive at the BrewFest and say, "My tickets were purchased by (name)."  The attendee should also have the email address the buyer used to purchase the tickets on PayPal (just for verification).  No need to notify BrewFest of the transfer in advance.  It's that easy.

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. Souvenir Classic City Brew Fest t-shirts will also be on sale this year for $15 each!

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.

    2008 LIVE MUSIC!
    Mickle-a-Do
    Irish / Celtic Band
    - Sponsored by Redhook -

    Mickle-a-Do plays hard and has fun!  Their music is a mixture of hard hitting jigs and songs to moving ballads and instrumentals. They have performed at the Gatlinburg Scottish Highland Games and the Dandridge Scots-Celts Festival in TN and in Atlanta at the Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting, Turner Field, the Georgia Renaissance Festival, Fado’s Irish Pub and Meehan's Public House.  They've also opened in concert for international touring bands such as Seven Nations, Enter the Haggis and Neil Anderson and Rathkeltair.  .


 
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 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 Aromas in Athens on Wednesday, April 2, 2008 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 6). 

Please drop Owen Ogletree an email if you'd like to volunteer.  Be sure the word VOLUNTEER is in the subject field.   Thanks!
