Terrapin Beer Co. was founded by University of Georgia graduate John Cochran and American Brewers Guild graduate Brian “Spike” Buckowski in 2002. The two met while working at Atlanta Brewing Company and decided to partner up to open their own brewery in Athens, naming the business after Buckowski’s favorite Grateful Dead album, Terrapin Station. Twenty-three years later, Terrapin is celebrating its birthday with a lineup of local bands. Folky bluegrass band Peach Ice Cream Bluegrass will open the show, followed by modern folk rock from Workhorses of the Entertainment/Recreational Industry. Cosmic Charlie will close out the show with a unique and personal twist on Grateful Dead’s catalog. There will be an afterparty at Paloma Park at 8:30 p.m.
