Marietta, GA — This year Red Hare Brewing Company has a lot to celebrate. In four short years, the company has gone from cooking beer in the basement to a brewing facility on track to produce over 10,000 barrels of beer this year. Red Hare has come a long way since the basement days; now the third largest craft brewery in Georgia, it sits in the top 10% of all craft breweries in the country. Their recent expansion will help satisfy the growing demand for Red Hare beer by increasing production capacity by approximately 5,000 barrels per year!
Red Hare’s 4th year as a brewery will culminate with a celebration and a limited bottle release in the newly renovated taproom on Saturday, August 22nd from 2:00-6:00 PM. Festivities will feature 15 beers on tap, including: Thrice Hopped IPA, Ill Tempered Hare IPL, Bourbon Barrel Aged Brown, Tequila Barrel Aged Gangway IPA, and two special birthday casks, to name a few. The Geeks Band will keep the party moving while King of Pops, Meatballerz Food Truck, Fatty’s of Atlanta and The Muenster Truck will be onsite selling delicious bites.
