Parking is not available onsite. However, guests can park in downtown parking decks—located on West Washington Street and College Avenue—or in metered street spots.

We believe that good citizens are good news to the

A giant in this life, a blessing in the next. Birk

A giant in this life, a blessing in the next. Birkley Heynen was deeply curious about people and the environment, and he did all he could in life to help both.

Every year, our Brew For One program aims to do for one what we wish we could do for everyone. This year’s release, Whale Fall, will benefit our friends at the Birkley Heynen Environmental Foundation (birkleyheynenef) as a means to help build a hopeful legacy out of tragedy

A whale fall is when a whale sinks to the depths of the ocean floor after death, its presence helping to create new ecosystems that supply sustenance for deep-sea life. Earlier this year, Shell to Shore (shell_to_shore) board members, Nik and Jennifer Heynen, we’re devastated by the loss of their son, Birkley, who was both a University of Georgia student and a Shell to Shore intern who lived out his passion for bettering the environment, particularly the marine environment. He had intended to graduate this past May.

With this beautiful IPA, we aim both to honor Birkley’s commitment to coastal sustainability, but also to help seed the Birkley Heynen Environmental Foundation, which will fund future students who share Birkley’s passion. Here’s to Birkley. Your passion lives on. 🍻

Brew For One: Whale Fall is available for a limited time at our Athens taproom and local retailers. All profits will go to support the Birkley Heynen Environmental Foundation.
