Some people may think Athens is a ghost town all summer, but the truth is for one week it becomes a dream come true for craft brew enthusiasts throughout the region. Yep, 26 breweries will descend into uptown Athens and serve up some of the most delicious beer in the country practically within spitting distance of your uptown Athens rental. If you’ve got a free couch, tell your friends. You might just be able to take reservations.
Beer, Tastings, Contests, Fun
Held this July 14 through 22, 2017, Ohio Brew Week practically makes Athens a vacation getaway. In addition to rivers of great beer flowing out of the taps of more than 35 different venues around town, there are also BBQ dinners, food pairings, happy hours, “meet the brewer” guest talks, workshops, tastings and more held throughout the week. There is also a home brew competition where participants are invited to submit their homemade brew for judging.
