Winter Beer Carnival

The 3rd Annual Winter Beer Carnival is going down at Atlantic Station on Sat., Feb. 11, 3-7 p.m. The lineup is 100 brews strong and just shy of making it through the beer alphabet (someone hurry up and open a brewery that starts with the letter X, already). And, as the title implies, this is no ordinary beer festival. Oh no. This is a carnival, complete with sundry games and activities. That means that you and your friends can sample a smorgasbord of beers and do what inebriated people do best: act like children.

Regular, all-you-can-drink tickets are $40 and come with a sampling glass. VIP tickets are $60 and include early entry and special access to obscure, fancy brews.

If you can't make it this weekend, not to fear. There is a major beer event every month in the foreseeable future. Festival hoppers (yeah, that's a pun) can certainly keep themselves busy, at least for the first half of 2012. In January, there was the Winter Beerfest at the Masquerade. In March, there's the Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival, part of a multicity tour. In April, there's the Sweetwater 420 Fest, and in May, the East Atlanta Beer Fest.

Hope it's better than the frat party that was the Winter Beer Festival.

Buckhead types have completely taken over Atlanta beer festivals. Even the EAV Beer Festival is now a Greek fest. Its frustrating but such is life. Anytime there is something nice going on in our fair city its going to attract all the assholes from the 'burbs, Buckhead, and Brookhaven. What always gets me though is that i would not dream of going to Fado for St Patty's day or the likes.
