The event: Fox Bros. Bar-b-q and Monday Night Brewing team up to serve barbecue and craft beer tastings. Live music by The Tip Jar Miner's, a local "outlaw country" band, and The Breeze Kings blues band.
The cause:. Proceeds benefit Atlanta Humane Society's programs. The organization finds homes for more than 8,000 pets per year.
