25th ANNIVERSARY
CLASSIC CITY BREW FEST
One of the Southeast's Longest-Running
& Favorite Craft Beer Fests!
- The Athens Cotton Press meeting hall offers
a trendy, attractive, indoor space to enjoy all the beers and
live music in a fun, uncrowded atmosphere. The event space will offer
around 50 delicious cask ales available no where else, draft beer
booths from
Athens breweries, and "special treats" booths that
will uncap rare, amazing bottles every hour!
- Each cask
holds 10.8 gallons of unfiltered beer, and brewers often add spices,
wood, fruit, dry-hops, wild yeasts, and other intriguing ingredients to
these one-off, unique casks that will be available no where else but
the Classic City Brew Fest. Yeast cells inside each cask provide soft,
subtle carbonation, allowing the flavors of the beer and special
ingredients to really shine. Expect wild ales, hazy IPAs, fruit beers, wood-aged brews, pastry stouts, sour ales, special dry-hops, and MUCH MORE!
- There
will be limited parking at Cotton Press, but we encourage carpooling, Uber, and Lyft. Trappeze Pub will also sponsor a free Stephens Limousine Service shuttle bus that will run between Trappeze Pub downtown and Cotton Press. Seats
on the free shuttle bus are limited, and space for everyone is not
guaranteed. The shuttle should start about three runs from Trappeze
around 1:20 pm. Three runs back to Trappeze from Cotton Press will
start around 5:30 pm. Georgia Gameday Center will also provide a free
shuttle from the Washington Street parking deck to the Cotton Press
every 30 minutes starting at 2 pm, with the last pick up at the Cotton
Press at 6:30 pm.
- At the Classic City Brew Fest, check out the awesome food truck from Biggum's BBQ.

ATHENS AREA HUMANE SOCIETY
The Classic City Brew Fest is proud to be one of the largest fund-raisers for the Athens Area Humane Society.
The
Athens Area Humane Society is a donor supported no-kill 501(c)3
non-profit organization dedicated to lowering area euthanasia rates
through adoption, spay/neuter, and pet retention programs.
It is so important to focus on the rescue and care of animals who would
otherwise be euthanized. We are a group of animal welfare activists who
started Athens Area Humane Society nearly three decades ago. Our
mission is to rescue, spay/neuter, and find homes for animals in
Georgia and beyond. Your attendance at the Classic City Brew Fest
provides much-needed support.
