🍻 Georgia Beer Day 2026 at Pretoria Fields 🍻

Georgia Beer Day is back, and we are proud to once again stand alongside craft breweries across the entire state of Georgia in celebration of independent brewing, local business, and the communities that make it all possible. Hosted by the Georgia Craft Brewers Guild, this statewide event is all about showing up for Georgia beer and the people behind it.

Doors open at 12PM. We will have a limited quantity of this year’s 2026 Georgia Beer Day glasses available, but as always once we sell out, we sell out. These glasses are distributed to breweries in limited quantities statewide, so if you want one, please plan to arrive early. The glass by itself is an option, or you can purchase the glass with a pour of your favorite brew.

A special thank you to the Georgia Brewers Guild, Gas South, and Boelter Glass for their continued dedication to supporting independent Georgia breweries and helping bring this event to life year after year. The work of the Guild strengthens breweries of every size across our state, and we we are grateful to be part of that community.

This year’s official Georgia Beer Day glass artwork was created by Georgia artist Lacey Longino, and it is absolutely beautiful. These collectible glasses have become a favorite across Georgia, and we are incredibly excited to have them available for our community this year. We are grateful to the artist for creating such a stunning design that represents our state so well.

🎶 Live Music from The Fox Brothers

Cold beer, live music, and a solid Saturday lineup. Bring your friends, grab a seat, and enjoy the afternoon with us.

🛠 Calling All Georgia Makers

We are opening vendor space for Georgia grown or Georgia created items only as a celebration of the craftsmanship, agriculture, and creativity that make this state special. Vendor spots are free for this event. If you build it, grow it, design it, or create it here in Georgia, simply send us a message to inquire.

Craft beer is more than what is in the glass. It is community, craftsmanship, and supporting local businesses that care about quality and connection. We are incredibly grateful for the continued support from our community and proud to support every Georgia craft brewery taking part in this statewide celebration.

If you are not in the Albany area but still want to participate, visit the Georgia Brewers Guild website for a full list of participating breweries across the state. We will also post a full list inside this event so you can map out your Georgia Beer Day stops and support breweries in your own community.

Raise a glass. Support Georgia beer. Celebrate the people who make it happen.

Evan Barber is no stranger to the Americana/roots music scene in the south. The Albany, Georgia native has been writing, recording, and touring across his native territory for the better part of the past decade. He’s cut his teeth sharing the stage with the likes of Chris Stapleton, Blackberry Smoke, Jason Isbell, and the Drive-by Truckers — just to name a few. His songs are sketches of the American South; honest-to-goodness stories lifted from the prairies situated below the heart of Appalachia.

Saturday, February 7th, we’re bringing the community together for our Local Love Market

Join us at Pretoria Fields from 11-4PM for a relaxed, come-as-you-are afternoon filled with local bakers, makers, artists, and small businesses from right here in our area.

We’ll have live music from the Evergreen Family Band, face painting for the kids by Hey Boo, and plenty to sip on, including coffee available for purchase, flavored seltzers, and non-alcoholic drinks for anyone taking it easy.

This market is about more than shopping. It’s about neighbors supporting neighbors, kids running around with painted faces, good times that last, and choosing to show up for the people who make our community what it is.

The event is free and open to the public, and family friendly.

If you’re a local vendor and would like to showcase your products, send us a message. We’d love to welcome you.

We can’t wait to spend the afternoon with you!

…they’re back 🌖 if you missed them last time, here’s your sign….

White Dog Howl is a soulful, blues-driven trio hailing from Panama City Beach, Florida. Formed in early 2025, the band brings together three seasoned musicians whose deep Southern roots and brother-like bond give their music a rare authenticity. Their sound—raw, rootsy, and rich with emotion—is built on the traditions of southern rock, soul, and Americana, blending originals with spirited covers of artists like Tyler Childers, ZZ Top, Billy Strings, CCR, and The Funky Meters.

Guitarist and producer Blake English is a Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist who grew up surrounded by music and has toured nationally with artists across genres. A former member of Few Miles South, Blake brings a sharp ear, powerful playing, and studio savvy to the band’s creative engine. He met Matt Hunter, a dynamic drummer and vocalist, when Matt was filling in on drums with Few Miles South. Their musical chemistry was instant, sparking not just a project, but a brotherhood.

Matt’s own roots run deep—his father, Larry Hunter, was the drummer for 70s southern rock band Beaverteeth, and Matt was raised in the legendary Muscle Shoals scene. His soulful, Levon Helm-like vocals and rhythmic feel give White Dog Howl a driving heartbeat. Completing the trio is Ian Shafer, bassist, vocalist, and lifelong friend of Matt. The two have played together since childhood, with Ian’s songwriting and devotion to the bass grounding the band’s sound in groove and grit.

Now reunited and reignited, the trio is writing and recording their debut album at Southern Fried Sound, Blake’s home studio. Their first single is set to release in Summer 2025, followed by a run of live shows throughout the Southeast and a short summer tour out West. Whether on stage or in the studio, White Dog Howl is the sound of friendship, fire, and the spirit of the South—howling loud and proud.

Show starts at 8PM
