It was an unusually warm day for the 16th Annual Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting and this brought with it some crazy weather. As attendees filled Bold Monk Brewing to sample the cask ales the rain started coming down strong and with about an hour left the hammer dropped. The parking lot flooded and the very well-covered patio was drenched, and finally, the power went out. Fortunately, we had completed our show taping but it did cause some chaos for the Bold Monk and cut a few festival-goers off from their cask ales a bit early. Even with the craziness, I think everyone had a great time.
This is our 4th year partnering with Brewtopia Events for ACAT and we kept our tradition going by speaking with festival organizer Owen Ogletree about the event and the ever-changing world of cask ales. We also spoke to a few of the breweries currently under construction in Georgia that we hope to see debut in 2020.
The team
from Social Fox Brewing is ready to bring some brews to
Norcross.
A few favorites from the festival:
The 16th Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting offered up over 50 casks
including ESBs, Emglish Milds, Barleywines, and plenty of pastry
stouts.
