Octoberfest: Macon Style
Beer. Food. Fun. And all proceeds go to charity. What in the WORLD could I be talking about?
10 Georgia Breweries: Sweetwater, Terrapin, Red Hare, Jailhouse Brewing, Macon Beer Company, O’Dempsey’s, Burnt Hickory, Strawn, Coastal Empire, Southbound Brewing.
9 Georgia bands: Charles Walker & The Dynamites, Dirty Doves, Travis Denning, Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics, Saint Francis, The Whiskey Gentry, Stevens Layne, Lera Lynn, Shawn Mullins.
It’s the very first Macon Octoberfest!
To start things off- Friday’s Kick-off event is the Founders Feast at the Armory Ballroom and it features German cuisine from the Moonhanger Group.
The number of events is insane. To purchase tickets go here. I spoke with Roger Riddle, Director of Marketing for The Moonhanger Group which is catering and sponsoring the event (correction: I previously said they were putting it on) “The Main Event is the Macon Octoberfest Beer Garden: It’s open Saturday from 11am – 10pm. Sunday from 12pm to 7pm. It will be in front of the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame under large tents and will feature vendors, music, food, and beer,” said Riddle.
Yay! We want tickets!
