The Suwanee Beer Fest has become a Suwanee tradition with thousands of beer lovers waiting anxiously for its return each spring, looking forward to another exciting celebration of beer culture in downtown Suwanee’s Town Center Park. Entering its third year, the festival, presented by The Beer Growler, is set for 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. March 16 at Town Center Park where beer enthusiasts can sample more than 250+ beers from over 100 breweries, while listening to live entertainment including bands provided by stage sponsor Wild Wings of Suwanee as well as returning band Ful Kinetic, a rock & roll and blues band out of Chicago. Food vendors will also be at the festival offering a variety of fare.
New to the festival this year is Designated Driver sponsor Schiavone Law. In an effort to encourage safety, the law firm is covering the first 100 Designated Driver tickets (normally $10) to the festival. The DD tickets allow access to the festival (with no beer tasting) and include a bottle of water.
