The Classic Center in Athens recently sent a letter to the organizers of Brewfest telling them to find new digs for the annual beer festival. Check the letter out here. The Classic Center folks cite "the swelling popularity of the event, the increasingly poor behavior of certain Brewfest patrons" as a couple of reasons they no longer want to host it.

Still, it's too bad another Athens tradition is going the way of the dinosaurs. Owen Ogletree of Classic City Brew says the new plan is to "scale back the Brewfest in size and hold the 2006 event either indoors at a smaller venue or outdoors in a large downtown parking lot..."
