Wrecking Bar’s First Anniversary is going to be nuts!

It’s been a year already and I love how this great gastropub just down the street from Little Five Points is kicking so much tail. I was there on the first day and ever since, it has been a great meeting place for us beer nerds, people who want a damn good meal (my homey Benny from D.C. has to go here immediately to get their burger when he touches down in Atlanta), a when it comes to beer you can’t get anywhere else, they do it with excellence!

So, from Friday, June 15, at noon, through the weekend, here’s what’s in store. Congrats Wrecking Bar!

First off, the first 100 people to arrive on Friday and Saturday will receive a free growler! That’s pretty damn cool.  

Second, they will be showing live broadcasts of Euro soccer matches on our big screen.

And third, here is the list of beers they’ll be rotating all weekend. Evidently, 20 taps will be flowing with some absolute craziness!
