19th Annual Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting

CRITIC’S PICK
Sat., Jan. 31

Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting, The Bold Monk Brewing Company — One $50 ticket gets you the chance to sample about 50 cask-conditioned creative brews, English-style ales, wild ales, IPAs, fruited beers, wood-aged brews, imperial stouts, sour ales, lagers, special dry-hops, and “exceptional” classic styles. Bold Monk food will be available at 10 percent off; punters can vote for a people’s choice award and judges will bestow medals on winners. The full list of beers can be seen online at Brewtopia.info two weeks before the booze-up. Crucially, the whole event benefits the Atlanta Humane Society, so get on it. — Kevin C. Madigan
