The Downtown Dalton Development Authority is hoping people will want to raise a mug with their friends to support public art projects in the North Georgia city.
The third annual Downtown Dalton Beer Tasting Festival, featuring from 30 to 50 varieties of beer, will be Saturday afternoon on the Dalton Green next to the Whitfield County Courthouse.
“It’s been very successful,” said Downtown Dalton Development Authority director Veronica French. “It’s something people look forward to every year.”
The tasting festival is sponsored by New Belgium Brewing Co., which will supply beer through Eagle Rock Distributing Co. of Stone Mountain, Ga. Varieties run the spectrum from mainstream to imported to craft beers.
Among the brands expected to be available are Yuengling, Fat Tire, Tiger, Magic Hat, Peak Organic and Budweiser.
