When you're at a big festival like Bele Chere, it's good to know those sinful pleasures that you crave will be close at hand. Here's the lowdown on five of the things we culture junkies can't do without.
1. Beer
Tip back a creamy Green Man Porter from local brewpub Jack of the Wood, crafted by award-winning brewmaster Carl Melissas (formerly of Dogwood Brewery in Atlanta). Whatever your taste in suds, you're sure to find an ale to cherish from one of our many local microbreweries.
