On April 6, 2024, join us for the seventh edition of the Hot Glass Craft Beer festival, hosted by Americus Main Street. Building upon the success of previous years, this event continues to celebrate the fusion of Americus’ storied artisan glassblowing tradition with Georgia’s dynamic craft brewing culture. As we embark on another year, we aim to elevate the experience by bringing together over 20 regional breweries, each showcasing three to four distinct beers.

In response to the ever-growing demand for craft beer, Hot Glass Craft Beer promises an unparalleled blend of flavors and creativity against the backdrop of Americus’ rich artisan history. This extraordinary event is set to captivate beer enthusiasts, artists, and the curious alike, drawing attendees from across the southwest Georgia region. Our primary objective remains steadfast — to not only meet but exceed expectations by fostering the growth of the local craft beer movement. Simultaneously, we strive to shine a spotlight on Americus’ heritage of artisan glassblowing, positioning Americus as a premier artisan destination.

Join us on this exciting journey as we create lasting memories, celebrate craftsmanship, and embrace the spirit of Hot Glass Craft Beer. Together, let’s make this event an unforgettable testament to the union of tradition and innovation in the heart of Americus.
