Wild Wing Cafe - Macon Beer Pint Night

Wild Wing Cafe on Riverside Dr is hosting a pint night for Macon Beer Company tomorrow, June 26.  If you stop by from 5-8PM and purchase a pint of Macon Progress, you get to keep the glass.  It's a Bragg Jam themed glass, so it's probably one you don't already have in your collection.  Stop by and show some support for the local guys!

Growler Spot Grand Opening Today

Growler Spot is having their Grand Opening today.  I know what you're thinking, "Haven't they been open for a few weeks?" and you would be right.  But this is the GRAND opening.  You know, complete with scissors and ribbon.

Growler Spot will be open at noon, and the ribbon cutting will take place at 4.  Bottles of Westbrook's Mexican Cake and Founders Devil Dancer will be for sale, as well as growler fills of  Devil Dancer, Macon Love and Clown Shoes Space Cake Double IPA.  I hear there will be free gifts too.  The Mexican Cake alone makes it worth a stop by on your lunch break!

Growler Spot is located next to Carriage Hills Bottle Shoppe on Northside Dr.

Lazy Dog Growler Announces Macon Expansion

Shortly after their 1st anniversary, Lazy Dog Growler has announced they are expanding to downtown Macon. They have secured the corner storefront in the Armory building at 484 First Street and plan to open in September. No word yet on whether they will be able to offer pints in addition to growlers, as they recently started in Warner Robins.  The new Macon location is planned to have an expanded tap list and bottle selection.

Macon Beer Updates

It's First Friday!  Here are a couple suggestions for things to do this weekend.

Ocmulgee Traders is set for an open house this evening from 6-9.  If you haven't heard already, Ocmulgee Traders is an independent grocery store in downtown Macon, on the first floor of the Dannenberg Lofts building on Poplar Street.  In addition to all the stuff you'd expect to find at a grocery store, Ocmulgee Traders will also be offering growler fills.  The official opening is next week.

A feature I'd like to add to the site is regular draft and bottle updates for our fine purveyors of craft beer.  Downtown Grill was kind enough to share their current bottle list with me on Twitter.  Here are some of the options you can enjoy this weekend if you're looking for a night out on the town.  If you own or work at a bar or restaurant that has a focus on craft beer, contact me on the blog or twitter and I'll advertise your current offerings as well.
