The Big River Grille & Brewing Works in Chattanooga, Tenn. is hosting Beer Underwater at the Tennessee Aquarium on Friday, Sept. 21 from 7:00-10:00 p.m. where they’ll be tapping their new Oktoberfest. This seems like a very cool event. Chattanooga is truly an up-and-coming Southern city with a growing arts scene, outdoor adventures galore, and active community involvement. Only problem is it’s the night before the Brewgrass Festival.
