    There's no parking at our brewery but just a few blocks away from us (west and north) is residential area and you can park on the street. I would avoid trying to park in the downtown area. I live 5 blocks from the brewery, it's a half mile walk, and i pass a lot of parking on the way. It shouldn't be too bad, but it will be raining so plan accordingly!

    An additional parking option (that involves a bit more walking) to what compton posted:

    UGA lots are not enforced on non-football weekends. I always recommend people visiting for Twilight to completely avoid anything downtown and park in one of the lots around North campus and do the short walk.

    Here's a link to the UGA parking map: http://www.parking.uga.edu/maps/TimeZones.pdf

    Every time I go downtown I park in N04, N03 or the North Campus deck N06. Those are technically located downtown and you'll be on Broad St within a few steps. Those are also the first ones to fill. The next best options would be anything North or on Baldwin St (N05, N06, N08 or N09). All those should be fine if you don't mind walking 5 - 10 minutes to downtown plus the extra blocks you'll need to walk to get to the brewery (NW corner of downtown).

    Mama's Boy. I'm expecting the wait to be insane. @compton might have some good recommendations too. It's a college town so lots of places do brunch.

    I'm a little confused. Thinking about coming down for this, especially since I missed out on tickets for the Community Tap Beer Festival in Greenville. So each person is only allowed to be served 32 oz of beer? Can't buy other pours or pints?

    Not in GA. No brewery can pour more than the legal limit.

    There's the third event on the same day - Hickory Hops, Greenville & CC. I always go to Hickory Hops - probably my favorite fest - wish some of these other event weren't on the same day - ahghahaurrrhhhggggg.

    Anyone seen a tap list for the GCBG Twilight festival happening the same day? I've seen the attendees, but can't seem to find any list of offerings.

    It's getting close to selling out so I'd buy online now to avoid any issues.

    Page says sold out. I got mine but know a few people who are still ticketless but want to go. Is the regular souvenir glass not an on site option?
