 Mark your calendars craft beer fans. A very special extravaganza of world-class brews is coming to Atlanta on April 30th, 2011. Hosted by Taco Mac, 5 Seasons Brewing Company and the restaurants of the Prado enclave in north Atlanta, the 2nd Annual Prado Beer Festival (a.k.a. Pints at The Prado) will kick-off spring with a celebration of great American beer.
A selection of 150-plus brews hand-picked from more than 40 world-class breweries – including big names like Allagash, Avery, Bell’s, Chimay, Dogfish Head, Rogue, Stone and Weihenstephan, as well as local favorites like SweetWater, Terrapin and Atlanta Brewing Company – will be poured, and there will be plenty of rare offerings available at this classy beer event.
So don’t wait until the last minute – a limited number of tickets are on sale now, and they won’t last long.
Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door, available only to those ages 21 and over (no children allowed inside the gates). This event will be held rain or shine; no pets or backpacks allowed. PURCHASE TICKETS HERE.
Sampling cups are provided upon entry. One sampling glass is issued per attendee. Please take care to keep track of your sampling glass. Outside liquid containers are strictly prohibited (we will have water available for a reasonable price on site). If you leave the site for any reason, empty your glass and take it with you. The cup and your wristband are your ticket for re-entry.
No one under 21
No pets
No backpacks
No designated driver tickets
It has been our experience with other beer festivals that designated driver programs are widely abused by those that plan to drink but do not want to pay the price of admission to get in. While we fully support your choice to take care of your friends, discounted or free tickets for designated drivers are not an option at this event. If your designated drivers do not want to attend the Festival for the standard admission price, the many restaurants and shops of The Prado Shopping Center will provide great diversions for your non-drinking friends while you enjoy your libations with us.
No exceptions.
Over-the-shoulder camping chairs are encouraged.
