Annual Beer Tasting & Barbeque Battle
Anyone who’ s been in the City of Atlanta over the past few weeks knows that it’ s been one very hot, very wet summer so far this year. Luckily, there were nothing but clear skies for the Sixth Annual Beer Tasting and BBQ Battle. The event was held on June 14th at Park Tavern, and brought together top influencers from across Atlanta’ s legal and nonprofit sectors.
Co-hosted by Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation and Atlanta Legal Aid Society, the annual Beer Tasting has become a summer staple for the legal community. The event is a collaborative effort to raise funds – and awareness – to support critical programs administered by each organization in the Atlanta area. Over 800 Atlantans were on the roster this year.
United Distributors provided over 50 varieties of beers from 18 different breweries for attendees to sample, including selections from Orpheus Brewing, Sierra Nevada, Terrapin, and more. Tasting notes were provided for the guests.
In addition to the wide selection of beer, three local barbecue restaurants – Grand Champion, Taylor’ d, and American Cut – brought their finest samples for the crowd. Attendees voted for their favorites, and both the Judges’ and
People’ s Choice Awards went to Grand Champion BBQ.
This year, the fundraiser collected over $ 80,000 for Atlantans in need of legal assistance.
Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation and Atlanta Legal Aid Society are extremely grateful for such enthusiastic support from the legal community and beyond. Sincere thanks to each and every sponsor and attendee for showing your support for Atlanta pro bono services.
