    Not much info on this yet, here's what the FB event page says.

    Get ready to pucker up sour fans. The Wrecking Bar Brewpub is hosting their first Sour Beer Festival May 2 from 12-4 p.m. Tickets will go on sale the first week of March and we'll have a beer list and more details coming soon, but go ahead and block off that date now.​

    I don't need any other details, count me in.

    The Strong Beer Fest was amazing, and I'm really excited to see what GA breweries bring to the table here.

    Kinda a hard sell to drop $50 on tickets with no information whatsoever on what will be available.

    I thought the same thing but went ahead and pulled the trigger since Wrecking Bar is behind it, no matter the details they'll still put a solid list together.

    I hope the tix are still available when I get paid, plan on getting my fiance and I one. I know my friend from monday night brewing, is going as well. I am not sure how much people are interested in this. But with only 300-500 tickets available, hopefully they do not sell out before I get the chance.

    So with only 300 tickets being sold it begs the question (or at least for me) how many Brewers do we believe will attend. I have not attended their strong beer fest so I have nothing to compare it to. Any ideas would be helpful. Probably will purchase a ticket this afternoon.

    It's kind of frustrating that there hasn't been a list posted yet. They said they would post it "soon," but that was a month ago. The event is less than 3 weeks away. I'm not buying a ticket until I see a list. At least there are 101+ tickets left, since the early bird price is still available, so I can wait it out...

    I went ahead and bought them. Its like 2 miles from where I live and Ive heard only good things about their strong beer fest and how they run things.

    Partial list has been posted on their FB page. Showing the beers from GA breweries.
    Apparently Wrecking Bar is bringing a sour RIS, that should be all kinds of fun

    I can dig it. Bought my ticket blind but I can get my $50 worth from this for sure.

    Curious if anyone things this thing will get sold out with only being 300 tickets?
    Also anyone who went to their other fest does anyone believe that some of these beers will run out prior to the end of the event?

    It should sell out, there's nearly 470 people saying they're going on the Facebook event page (which means nothing, but doing the math there should be half of those actually going), then add in people who aren't Facebook and that's easily 300.

    Gotcha. I just saw that the early bird tickets are sold out. Dont know if a certain number had to be hit or not to "sell out" at that price. Just curious is all.

    Early bird was 200, so there have been at least 200 tickets sold. I am one of those on Facebook who is listed as going but does not have a ticket, as I am volunteering at the event.
