- There will be a pretzel-necklace-making station by the Main Entrance ($6/necklace, cash only).
- When you enter you will be handed a map, a tasting cup and a wooden token. All 35 of the Georgia breweries will be vying for that wooden token! Whoever has the most tokens in their bucket at the end of the fest will be crowned Georgia’s Best Brew!
- Unlimited samples from 1-5pm. We have over 100 beer tents and over 350 beers, ciders, wines, bourbon, hard seltzers and more! Pouring stops at 5pm – and trust us, you’ll be feeling great by then!
