MACON BEER FEST
MACON BEER FEST

Started in 2010, the Macon Beer Fest has grown into one of the Top Ten Georgia premier craft beer events. The event offers over 100 varieties of craft beer and wine with unlimited pours until the beer and wine run out - which there is more than you can consume! Enjoy two music stages, food vendors, and arts and craft vendors. What makes the event unique is that its purpose is to educate men and families about prostate cancer and the need for screenings.. It’s a health fair disguised as a beer festival – It’s a party for a cause! We offer a free blood test, valued at $700, to any male over the age of 40 unless there is a history of prostate cancer in the family, and we'll test earlier. If you get tested, you'll get three FAST PASSES to head to the front of any line! Day of tickets goes up in price. You only need a ticket if you are drinking. The festival is open to anyone. Designated Drivers do not need a ticket. We are a family-friendly event, and children and pets are welcome. BRING YOUR ID, or you won't get in. Ticket check-in is on Third Street across from Piedmont Brewery and Kitchen.

BEER RUN - 1 MILE

This truly is a beer run. Individuals run a mile, and stop four times to drink a beer or teams of four compete as a relay, running a quarter mile each. Competitors must drink canned beer and should not be less than 355ml. No specialized cans may be used to give an advantage by allowing the beer to pour at a faster rate. No straws or devices may be used. All beers will be a minimum of 5% alcohol by volume. Hard ciders and lemonades will not suffice. It is strongly suggested to tip the can to show all the contents have been consumed before continuing the race. Gather on Poplar Street near the intersection of Third Street and Poplar Street, opposite the second music stage.
