“…but maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while i pour),
the neighbors might faint (baby it’s bad out there),
say what’s in this drink (no cabs to be had out there),
i wish i knew how (your eyes are like starlight now),
to break this spell.”
Still wondering what to buy those who mean the most to you? Why not put together a gift basket of seasonal beers? Try a basket with a three-fer of St. Bernandus Christmas Ale, Evil Twin Before During and After Christmas and a Southern Tier Krampus.
Not a beer connoisseur? What about a Crystal Head Vodka gift box or the Jack Daniel’s gift set among others? Still not convinced you’ve found the absolute perfect gift for your loved one? Stop by and let us show you our seasonal specialties and gift sets. We have the perfect gift just for you (or, er, your great Uncle Joe.) Honest.
Athens Food & Culture

“…featuring over 90 taps.”
Have you seen this month’s issue of the Athens Food & Culture magazine? We’re in there! The November 2011 issue highlights our own 5 Points Growlers, and, boy, do we look good (shout-out to AF&C’s photographers. omg, they always make everything look so appealing).
Admittedly, it’s been pretty spectacular around the Growler these days with this uncharacteristically warm fall weather. Stop by either location when you get a chance and see what’s on tap. In the meantime, check us out on newsstands now.
Beer lover’s gift ideas

Need a gift idea for your favorite beer geek? We’ve got two for you, both from Athens’ own Owen Ogletree.
Looking for an out-of-this-world (or at least out-of-town) idea? Give your beer lover an opportunity to join Owen on board the 14th annual Magic Happens Beer Cruise. You’ll set sail from Vancouver BC, with stops in Victoria, San Francisco, Monterey and San Diego. In addition to talks, tastings and beer bingo, you’ll visit some fantastic brewpubs and craft breweries along the way. For more information, click here.
For something a little closer to home, why not give tickets to one of the Southeast’s longest-running and most popular craft beer events? The 17th annual Classic City Brew Fest will take place on Sunday, April 15, 2012 at the Foundry Park Inn. Featuring almost 250 of the greatest craft ales and lagers from around the world, live music from the Steel String Session and an exciting new cask ale pavilion with close to 15 one-off firkins, this event is not to be missed!
