Athens Beer Trail

Athens, Georgia, is many things: the birthplace of public higher education in America, home to hundreds of bands, center for top college sports action, and a diverse and vibrant arts and food scene.

Athens has also quietly become The All-American Beer Town.

The Athens Beer Trail gives you the opportunity to visit local breweries to discover their individual approach to craft beer. Along the way, we guarantee you'll find new flavors, new friends, and enjoy the Athens creative vibe. The Athens Beer Trail is the newest beer getaway and adventure in the south -- so, grab your friends and head to Athens for good times and great beer.
