Whaddup!
You know I love traveling and this Brewgaloo Beer Fest had me at “Brew”! Ha! Truthfully, I hear that word all the time, but when it’s the biggest beer fest in North Carolina, a state that makes some gangster ales and lagers, I was all in! It’s April 27-28, 2018 and guaranteed to be nuts! Below is the official description and HERE is the link to the tickets. Boom!
Cheers!

Creature Comforts Beer Dinner Benefiting the Farmer Fund


Once again it's on!

It's beer dinner time!

One of my favorite events combining beer and fare is the Farmer Fund Dinner held annually by Athens’ GA’s own Creature Comforts and Saltyard Owner and Executive Chef Nick Leahy at the gorgeous location in Midtown ATL (1820 Peachtree Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30309) on April 19th. Not only will the experience be one helluva festive one, taste buds will be tantalized, and of course world-class brew will be poured in your complimentary collector’s glass, but it’s also for a great cause—supporting the Famer FundIn their words, “The Farmer Fund exists to support farmers in the face of natural disaster and help keep farmers farming.”
As you can see, I have covered it a few times if you scroll down here. I truly dig it!
There is also a silent auction and the items aren’t a couple of coozies and t-shirts; some of the hardest beers to get in the South exclusively brewed and donated by the Comforts posse will be available to bid on. They also have a fun Farmer Fund calendar available where various farmers and restaurateurs strip down to aprons and other revealing outfits. Here is a look at this year’s addition with the intention of also raising funds for the cause.
The official description is below. Just know it sells out pretty damn quick, so book your seats asap! Oh, and they have your main man Ale (ummmm, that’s me!) as a special guest to make sure everything goes as dope as possible. It’s truly an honor to be there. 
This one is for the farmers, Atlanta. Don’t miss it. Make your reservations by calling 404.382.8088.
Cheers!

Creature Comforts celebrates four years during April 21-22 weekend!

The lineup is crazy as usual! 
Whaddup!

There is no mystery that I think Creature Comforts is one of the best breweries pound for pound on the planet, and the fact that it's just an hour-and-change away in Athens driving from ATL makes it even more lovely! I will definitely be there to celebrate their four years keeping me refreshed with gangster beers. Care to join me?
Peep the flyer and click here for more details. See ya there I hope!

Peace!
