ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSITUTION — After 15 years of running the Facebook group Gluten Free Atlanta, founder Stephanie Pardue and the Monday Night Brewing team will bring the first Gluten Free Atlanta Fest to the city.
On Sunday, the Grove at Monday Night Brewing in west Midtown will transform into a dedicated gluten-free space. The kitchens and pizza ovens will be cleaned and converted to making gluten-free products, two taps will dispense gluten-free beer and more than 20 vendors will set up shop around the Grove’s expansive outdoor space.
“(The festival) is the first time we’re having any kind of Atlanta recognition of gluten-free,” Pardue said. “So it’s huge to me and to my little group — huge.”
Monday Night Brewing has been a friend to the gluten-free community for about three years now. It started when brewer Tim McDonnell’s wife discovered she had a gluten allergy. McDonnell partnered with a gluten-free malting house to create a beer his wife could continue enjoying, co-owner Joel Iverson said. [MORE]
