She is passionate about animal rescue and live music - traveling across the country to see a favorite band is a pretty regular occurrence! Being out hiking in the woods enjoying the scenery with her beloved dogs is another favorite hobby, and also checking out the Pokemon Go scene in whatever city she happens to be in at any given time (coffee and dog leash in hand).

Over the last few years, craft breweries in Georgia have really exploded in popularity. It feels like the Atlanta area, in particular, has numerous beer companies where you can grab a locally-brewed glass. If you live in South Georgia, don’t worry: there are quite a few options there, too! One of the best is Georgia Beer Co. in Valdosta. It just so happens to be Georgia’s southernmost brewery, only about half an hour north of the Florida state line. The best thing about this little hidden gem? It’s family-friendly! I’m not personally a huge fan of beer, but there are other drinks to enjoy at breweries, and you’ll always find a fun atmosphere and good company. Check this brewery in Valdosta, GA out:
Valdosta is such an underrated city. Its population is nearly 60,000, so it's certainly not a small town, but it has a homegrown feel and strong sense of community that makes it seem smaller than it is.
Georgia Beer Co. is quite active in the local community. You'll often see the brewery represented at local festivals and events, and the founders are graduates of Valdosta State University.
Georgia Beer Co. features a charming beer garden and is surrounded by plenty of parking. It's not far from many of the other attractions in downtown Valdosta.
While Georgia Beer Co. doesn't sell food, food trucks are typically at the brewery through much of the week. You're also welcome to bring your own food.
