There will be informative tours, food trucks, live music, and the best craft beer that Georgia has to offer.

The festival will be hosted by the state’s oldest craft brewery, Red Brick Brewing Co. President Bob Budd had to say about the event, “We are beyond thrilled to be hosting this event because, honestly, some folks thought it might never happen. As one of the founding members of the Georgia Craft Brewers’ Guild, one of our goals has been to mentor up and coming breweries. So to have over 25 Georgia breweries under one roof shows the progress that the community at large is making.”

The GCBF will be held from 1-6 pm on March 22, with VIP opening at noon. It will be held at Red Brick Brewing Co, 2323 Defoor Hills Rd Atlanta GA, 30318.
