Fun with fermentation
Cultured South, the new kobucha taproom from Golda Kombucha founder Melanie Wade , will open with a bang with the second installment of Fermentation Fest. Look for fermented products from two dozen local and regional producers, educational science demonstrations, seasonal kombucha on tap, kombucha mocktails and live music. Fermentation pros are encouraged to bring their own cultures for a "culture swap," and guests can get samples from food truck and "mobile wellness cafe" Alkaline Junkie, as well as other fermented foods and drinks including chocolate, coffee, vegan cheeses, beer, cider, honey and sourdough crackers and breads.
Proceeds from the fest will be donated to Community Farmers Markets, a nonprofit organization that aims to promote a diverse local food culture.
Noon-6 p.m. May 20. General admission tickets are available for $10 online (kids under 15 may attend for free with an adult). Libation Glass Passes can be purchased for $15 and include a souvenir ATLFF tasting glass and five tasting tickets redeemable from any beverage exhibitor at the festival. Cultured South, 1038 White St. SW, Atlanta. eventbrite.com/e/atlanta-fermentation-fest-tickets-44614008701
