This is a very helpful and neat place to see. It has a very grassroots down south vibe to it. Very welcoming with old decorations and you can just feel the Georgia history in the place. It is definitely worth visiting while you are in Athens.

We were greeted by a very pleasant volunteer who talked with us for about 45 minutes. She gave us many tips for the city and our travels outside of the city. The welcome center is also attached to the church waddel brumby house. This house has a lot of history which I don't remember, but the ornate carpeting was very interesting. The parking lot can fit maybe 5 cars maximum. FYI there are free public bathrooms here that you can access from outside.

I have been to a lot of Breweries and Wineries with work being treated like a VIP, and I have also…read morebeen to Breweries and Wineries as part of the general public waiting in long lines, getting the basic tour, etc. So I wanted to see how the Brewery Tour would work out??? It was amazing! We met near DT Athens, got on the bus, popped a beer, and headed toward ATL. Kevin gave us a quick, but informative look at the history of beer and gave us an idea of what we were getting into and how many different beers we would get to try. Then a little socializing and meeting the rest of the group. We visited Red Brick, ate at Five Seasons West with a beer flight, Monday Night, and ended at Sweetwater. You think that that is a lot, but we rolled right off of the bus, Kevin had already checked us in at Red Brick, so we went straight to the bar, got a beer, and although "So You Think You Can Dance" was filming at the brewery(which closed it off to the general public), we got to go back into the working brewery and hang out while we sampled their lineup of brews. Then, a fill-up on our way back to the bus(apparently it's legal since he has a limo license) before we headed to 5 Seasons West. Kevin lined up a flight of 6 of their beers and we ordered food and filled up to prepare for the rest of the day. Picked up a few beers at Hop City(right next door) and got on the bus to Monday Night Brewing. This is where the VIP really kicked in, there must have been 75 people waiting to get in, but we walked right around and into the tasting room, not going to say we were the most popular people as we walked thru the line, but they should have come with us. Lines were long to get to the beer, but if you stay with your group, get in line, get beer, and get back ing line with your group as you drink, you will be good. Try to find the MNB tour guide named "Duck" he give the best tours. Try the Serrano Pepper IPA, it will blow your mind. Another Serrano IPA for the bus, and we are on to Sweetwater, since we took our time getting the group together, Kevin called his girl at Sweetwater and lined it up so that we could stay a little later after they kicked everyone else out. Got to enjoy some tasty beers there with Taylor the Tour Girl(yes guys, she is smokin' hot and know her sh!t about beer). So now, it's time to head back to the ATH with a pretty good buzz and don't have to worry about driving at all. I cannot wait until the next trip. I've been to all of these breweries before, but it was completely different in a group like this.

I recently had a bad bike wreck and hit my head (yes, I was wearing my helmet). After the wreck I rode my bike to the Hub to replace my helmet, and I wasn't "firing on all cylinders." Brian was adamant that I do not get back on the bike and insisted on driving me home in the shop van. On the way he offered to take me to the hospital to get checked out. When I told him I would get my wife to take me when she gets off work, he said, "Ok, I'm calling you every hour until you go to the hospital." And he did! We are lucky to have people like Brian Malloy and a bike shop like the Hub Bicycles in our community.

Finished up with dessert and a smokey blackberry mojito and some had shots of Red Bull ! We also walked around Midtown & learned about the area ... Nick was an outstanding young man - articulate and knowledgeable! Definitely a five-star event!

They gave us fun information about each brewery we visited and insider information of what beers to try. They also shared any piece of information they have gained over their many years of beer tasting. As visitors from out of town we also made sure we asked for restaurants and sites to see around town, Justin and Erin were happy to help out. We rode around in a clean and spacious bus with a private driver. You get picked up and dropped off at the same spot if you choose to do so. You even get a gift bag at the beginning. Over the afternoon you may even bond with your other group members and make the tour that much better. Take the next opportunity to take this tour, whether you're a local or visiting. It's worth your time and money.
