In our continuing series of “Great Southern X” – great Southern artisans of drinking well – we turn our attention to beer. Athens continues to rock out great things, and Terrapin Beer Co. is no exception. Read our profile of this “Great Southern Brewery.”
There are several great beer realted places in Athens to visit. Trappeze Pub is also another great pub pouring a lot of what Terrapin has to offer amongst many other beers. Also Aromas Beer Bar in Five points has a great esoteric selection of beers on tap. For the freshest craft beer to go try out 5 Points Growlers on the westside on Atlanta Highway. They boast 45 Taps for your Growler enjoyment. There has always been a beer culture in Athens due to the ever eager student population as well as the established beer drinkers who have been awaiting great craft beer for many years. With almost 80 Bars in downtown and fine dining options like the last resort, farm 255, the national and five and ten Athens is a must see for the foodie as well.
