East Atlanta Beer Festival Survival Kit

The East Atlanta Beer Festival (EABF) will be held this Saturday, May 21st at Brownwood Park. You probably know that. You probably also know that there will be an abundance of select craft brews for patrons to enjoy. 

What you may not know is that the East Atlanta Beer Festival's (EABF) proceeds go toward causes. This reason alone cements the importance of the event to the local community and sets an example to other festivals around the city.  

Gathering on a spring day in a comfortable outdoor atmosphere to enjoy craft brews with friends provides an optimal setting to enjoy weather and fellowship. Rising on a Saturday morning(ish) and shaking off the cobwebs of Friday night, what better way is there to spend the day? 

As the weekend edges closer and ticket-holders anxiously await the glorious arrival of over 170 beers to grace the presence of Brownwood's terrain, there is planning to be done!

In order to endure the entire afternoon, one must consider the various obstacles to hurdle to ensure maximum delight and comfort. The following advice is humbly offered from seasoned festival experience:

• Pretzel Necklace: readily available snacking material that doesn't waste perfectly good hands specifically made for transporting a sample cup and pointing to the next prospective table.
• Adornment: whether by costume or with past-years festival Ts, options abound for patrons to express their zest for for fine hops and barley.
• Open Ears: with a selection of three shows, live entertainment will be provided throughout the day.
• Lager Logger: to record all of the magnificent tasties.

Lastly, don't forget to hug the bear! It will be warm, so come thirsty.
