The 10th Annual Augusta Beerfest

The 10^th annual Augusta Beerfest is this weekend. With the amount of people that seem to like craft beer, this seems like a no-brainer.

This year’s event will be at the Bell Auditorium on the 10^th from 3-6pm.

There will be over 100 craft beers available to sample. There will be food trucks on site.

Tickets are available at the box office or online at Ticketmaster.

Tyler Gambrell from the Bell joined us on the show this morning to talk about the event.

You know what I love about Golf Week? It's the Masters specialty drinks and food menus. Local restaurants pull out some awesome tricks and treats for the locals and travelers to try.

When it comes to crafting a special menu for Masters week, it's not just happening here in the CSRA, it's happening all over the nation!

In Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, about five hours away from Augusta, Drunken Jack's Restaurant and Lounge will honor the Masters with two special drinks! One is called Tee Time and the other is the Sweet and Spicy Watermelon Margarita. They will create the drinks with Elijah Craig Bourbon and Maestro Dobel Tequila.

Even further from Augusta is Rockfish in Edgartown, Massechesuts. They also have two special cocktails dedicated to this special week.

Azalea Cocktail: Empress Rose Gin, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and a splash of grenadine garnished with baby’s breath

The Azalea is actually the signature cocktail of the Masters golf tournament. Many places will be serving their version of this drink around the nation.

Another specialty drink that will be on the menu is the John Daly, named after an American professional golfer.

John Daly: Tito’s Vodka, house-made lemonade, iced tea garnished with fresh mint

All over the nation this week restaurants, lounges, and more will be finding ways to incorporate and bring the Masters into their establishments. Wether that is by having a watch party or creating special menus such as these.

Enough about those out-of-town spots, we've got the Masters right here at home, let's see how some of the local spots are getting down with their specialty drinks for this week.

Most of these perfectly crafted menus have already gone into full effect around the city of Augusta.

Below are just a few places in Augusta that will be serving up specialty cocktails that you can only get during Masters week:
