Two Tides is hosting their first ever Stout Fest on Saturday, Jan. 20, with plans to offer Savannah a flavorful way to embrace the cooler weather.

After last year’s successful Sour Fest, Liz Massey, co-owner of Two Tides, said they wanted to focus more on “niche celebrations of different styles of beer” in 2024, with Stout Fest being the first installment.

More than ten stouts will be available during the festival and will include a

 variety of flavors with some offering cookies and marshmallows. “There’s a mint chocolate cheesecake stout…if anyone likes stouts at all, they’ll find something,” Massey said.

Though Stout Fest will not be blocking off the street like typical Two Tides block parties, the entirety of the Two Tides campus including the Taproom, Smol Bar, and Crispi, will be open.

“All three businesses will be open for Stout Fest and all of them will have something available for the Fest. So Smol Bar will have stouts on draft, Taproom will have stouts on draft, and then Crispi will have a special soft  serve ice cream that fits the vibe of Stout Fest so everyone will have something going on.”

In addition, a new collaboration between Two Tides and DSSOLVR will become available during Stout Fest. 

“The day of, we’re releasing a collab with a brewery called DSSOLVR… that’s something any beer fans will get excited about. We are also debuting a coffee brand called Float. We’re doing a chocolate chip, cookie marshmallow cold brew on draft and it’s the first time we’ll ever have released cold brew.”

Stout Fest will take place on Saturday, Jan. 20, at 12 W 41st Street starting at 12pm. For more information, visit: https://www.twotidesbrewing.com/events.
