WISE BEER LOVERS FLYING TO HORNED OWL

What’s in a name? Quite a lot if you ask Joe Uhl, especially when it came time to name his Kennesaw brewery, Horned Owl Brewing, which opened in November 2020.
Most of the new brewery’s beer names are owl-related because owl is the meaning of his German last name, Uhl. And, with the proximity to Kennesaw State University, it was a natural fit.
October is a special time in the beer industry, and last year’s Oktoberfest at Horned Owl Brewing still is a special memory for Joe. It was a fan favorite, earning the brewery third place in Best of Cobb for Best Festival. With a focus on all things German — food, banners, decorations, beer garden tent, steins and an authentic German beer selection — many attendees added to the festive atmosphere by wearing authentic lederhosen during the competitions that took place throughout the three-day event. The 2022 Oktoberfest, which ran Sept. 30-Oct. 2, was no exception.
