The Great Georgia Sunday Fiasco (or How We Got Here)
Imagine a time, not so long ago, where Sundays in Georgia were a beverage wasteland. No crisp IPAs to quench your post-brunch thirst. No refreshing lagers to liven up your afternoon barbecue. The horror! Thankfully, in 2011, the good people of Georgia decided they'd had enough of this Sunday blues and voted to loosen the restrictions. Now, with a few exceptions, you can finally snag your favorite brews on the day of rest.
But wait! There's a twist...
Just like that crazy uncle who always shows up to Thanksgiving with unsolicited political opinions, there are a few counties in Georgia that cling to the old ways. These rebels (bless their hearts) have opted out of Sunday sales altogether. So, before you embark on your sacred Sunday beer pilgrimage, here's a quick tip:
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
- Know your county. A quick Google search (or asking your friendly neighborhood beer store) can save you a world of disappointment.
Cracking Open a Cold One: Georgia's Sunday Beer Buying Hours
Now that we've cleared the air about those pesky exceptions, let's get down to brass tacks. What time can you actually snag a six-pack on Sunday? Here's the deal:
- Sundays are for Snoozing (a little). Beer sales in Georgia typically kick off at 12:30 pm on Sundays. So, hit that snooze button, enjoy a leisurely breakfast, and then head out for your brew-tiful adventure.
- Don't be a Night Owl (on Sundays). Unlike the rest of the week, the Sunday beer window closes a bit earlier at 11:30 pm. So, plan your Sunday Funday accordingly.
Remember: These are the statewide guidelines. Some counties or cities might have their own rules, so double-check before you race out the door.
