Andersonville is a ways away for me, but this looks pretty cool.

Edge, any word on how this went?

It was great, favorite of the night was the Firestone Walker XV and my fiancé really loved the creme brûlée from Southern tier. Everything was $5 and that got you about 3/4 full of a snifter, which was fine cause all the beers were high gravity and this amount allowed us to try more. The place was packed when we got there at 6 and even more so when we left at 8 and I'm assuming remained that way all night. All and all a success!
