Atlantic Station was turned into a carnival on Saturday. More to the point a Beer Carnival. Over 4,000 people, including myself, attended the sixth annual event that featured beer samplings from breweries across Georgia and the nation as well as carnival styled games, food, music and prizes.
This was an amazing afternoon spent sampling some really, really good local and national beers all while getting to play some awesome games. There was Twister, Plinko, Jenga, a human sized version of Fussball, even competitive Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots! It is definitely an event to check out if you missed it this year!
