The Athens Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) in Athens-Clarke
County, Georgia in the US has launched the Athens Beer Trail Trolley
Tour, offering groups the chance to visit six local breweries in the
destination on a hop-on, hop-off trolley bus service.
The trolley service is an extension to the Athens Beer Trail, created
by the CVB last year, where groups can discover each brewery’s
taproom’s individual approach to craft beer. It features the Athens Beer
Trail Field Guide, available for pick up at any taproom along the trail
or at the Historic Athens Welcome Center. Once all pages are stamped by
each individual brewery, the guide can be cashed-in at the Historic
Athens Welcome Center for a commemorative pilsner glass.
The six local breweries include Akademia Brewing Company, Athentic
Brewing Company, Creature Comforts Brewing Co, Southern Brewing Company,
Terrapin Beer Co and Normaltown Brewing Company.
Katie Williams, Athens CVB director said: “Athens has really made its
mark as a beer destination in recent years, so we’re thrilled to offer
this service that caters to our beer-loving locals and visitors. We
can’t wait to see the positive impact it will bring to both our
breweries and community as its ridership grows.”
The Athens Beer Trail Trolley Tours run every Thursday and Friday
from 3-9pm, with more routes and days to be added in the future.
