This past Saturday, Atlanta braced for a would be winter storm. Although it was very cold and there were some morning snow flurries, it was definitely not a snow day situation. In fact, over 900 craft beer enthusiast braved the frigid temperatures, to attend Red Hare Brewing Company’s Root Beer Can Launch Party. I was really looking forward to it and was really happy the roads were not at all slippery.
Red Hare Brewing Company is an independent microbrewery located in Marietta, Ga. They started selling beer in 2011 and in the following year, became the first craft beer brewery in Georgia to can their beer. I first became familiar with Red Hare in 2014, when I volunteer at the Red Hare Chase 5k & 15k. That was so much fun and it was my first taste of their craft beer. I became a fan and still am a fan to this day.
My most favorite is the Watership Brown Ale. It’s just plain good. Today they featured a specialty cask, Jacked Rabbit Coffee Lager, which was so deliciously awesome! Very tasty! Not only is their craft beer great, but they brew a fantastic root beer. And now, it’s available in a can to be enjoyed in the comforts of your own home. Yes! 
I wound definitely say that the Root Beer Can Launch was a success. It was packed! Everyone was having a grand time. Admission to the launch included a case of root beer, a limited edition root beer glass, limited edition tshirt, 6 beer pours, and a root beer float. Oh! And the incredible sounds of The Real Deal Blues Band! So much awesomeness!!
The Patty Wagon was also on site serving up some good eats to complement the brews. I had the turkey burger. Yummy!
We had a great time! As usual my friend Leslie and I found some cool people to take selfies with! It’s never ever a dull moment with us!

Shana, you had me at beer… I mean root beer! 🙂
Lol! The root beer was yummy!
This sounds amazing! I don’t drink and so I am always looking for something to enjoy when we are at a party or something!
I understand. A few breweries here in Atlanta have that option of a non alcoholic beverage. Which I think is smart.
Glad you had a good time at the root beer launch. I don’t drink either so this would be great
The root beer was fantastic!
What a fun experience. My husband would love this.
We had a great time!
Thank you for sharing this great review! I will definitely visit it when I am in Atlanta
Awesome!
Looks like you guys had lots of fun. Never heard of these guys before but I’ll keep an eye out.
We did! Yes do check them out. They have a great product.
Looks like you had so much fun! I kept meaning to go to one when I was living in Smyrna and always missed it.
I live in Smyrna now! This brewery was about 10 minutes away.
Oh my gosh! I wish I would have known about this! It sounds like a blast. And the limited edition shirts and glasses were TOO CUTE!
Yes! We had a fantastic time! And I loved all of the swag we got to take home too!
You caught my attention with the clever play on the title of my favorite book. I’m not a root beer fan, but I would try it for that reason alone 🙂
Lol!
Glad it was packed despite the weather!
I was very surprised that so many people came out!
This looks like such a fun experience. If im ever in the area you can bet I’ll be checking that out. Plus root beer! Yum!
Yes do check it out!
Seems like you had some good times! Never tried root bear…
Gasp! You have to try it! Like go get some right now!!
I wish I had heard of this, I would have totally gone! I LOVE craft beer and live in Atlanta too! I have yet to visit Red Hare though. We’re definitely going to the Suwanee Beer Fest this year!
Cool! I’m going to the Atlanta Winter Beer Fest this weekend. We have to meet up at one these beer festivals. There isn’t many of us girls who enjoy craft beer .
looks like you had a great time. i have been to a local micro brewery and it was a good time
We have quite a few here in the Atlanta area and they are all great.
I love local breweries! Looks like a great adventure. How fun. Thanks for sharing!
Locals breweries are the best!
I saw some pictures of this event on Facebook! I was definitely glad the roads looked good in ATL, too!
It was a good time!
That looks like so much fun! I had no idea that they made root beer like that! Very cool! And I’m glad you missed out on the snow. We did as well (in Maine) and the little we have is melting…very strange winter up here!
Yes, we had a fantastic time!
I have never been fond root beer for some reason, but I must admit those cans look pretty cool! It sounds like the launch party was very fun, too.

Yes, the cans are super cool!
My husband loves root beer! I’ll see if I can find this here.
It’s so good! If you can’t find it I’ll send you a couple!
Looks like a great time. My hubby and I really like visiting micro breweries. There are some amazing brews out there. Russian River is one of our favorites. Stay warm!
You’re right there are some really amazing breweries. Georgia has quite a few. I just looked up Russian River. I plan on doing a cross country brewery tour one day, so I’ll have to check it out.
I’ll have to keep them in mind next time I’m up near Atlanta. We love going to wineries and I’m sure I can get the husband to a brewery if they have root beer!
If he likes root beer, he’s going to love Red Hare Root Beer!
So i’ll be in touch. LOL love to visit looks like you had loads of fun.
Oh yes we had a lot of fun! You are always welcomed to come along with us on our adventures when your in Atlanta!
Looks like you had a lot of fun!! and I bet the beer was super good!
Yes, the beer and root beer was super!
