The Decatur Beer Festival has finally released the list of breweries participating in this Saturday’s festival and its a mighty fine list.

But perhaps the most exciting addition to this year’s festival is Asheville darling, Wicked Weed Brewing, which is entering the Atlanta market this week, with its killer West Coast style IPAs and notorious sours. (If you’re looking for Wicked Weed before Saturday, Brick Store says it will have 20 kegs (!) on Thursday.)

As in prior years, there are many familiar faces on the list, breweries large and small.  Locals and big boys.  Eyeballing the list, here are the newcomers:

• Carson’s Brewery out of Indiana
• Coastal Empire Beer Co. from Savannah
• Florida Beer Co.out of Cape Canaveral, FL
• Gate City Brewing Company out of Roswell, GA
• JC Bulldog Hard Cider out of Helen, GA
• Prairie Artisanal Ales from Tulsa, OK
• Reformation Brewery from Woodstock, GA
• Small Town Brewery out of Indiana
• Southern Brewing Company out of Athens, GA
• Spencer Trappist Ale out of Massachusetts
• Strawn Brewing Company from Fairburn, GA
• Wicked Weed Brewing from Asheville, NC
• Yes Face Beer Co. from Griffen, GA

I’m sure I will be corrected if this list is at all incomplete or inaccurate, but it should be pretty close and hopefully help get folks started.
