Hey y'all! FINALLY planning to make the trip to come down to see the Battery. We are shooting for the April 30th match against Pittsburgh. A quick trip to COAST Brewing prior to the match may be in order. I am looking forward to [again, finally] meet y'all. Dan
Dan, It will be nice to meet you face to face. Should be a good match as Pittsburgh is ocached by an old Battery fan favorite, Justin Evans. You might want to put the new breweries on your list as well. Westbrook Brewing (not far from the stadium, the opposite way from Coast) And Holy City Brewery.
Loving the Westbrook IPA right now. I am excited and curious about Holy City. Are they up and running now?
not sure, I know they had some tastings around town the latest at EVO pizza. I htink they have a pilsner now and are working on the rest. they just launched a new website http://www.holycitybrewing.com
A good German Pilsner, alone, would make it worth checking out. I'd like to set up a side trip to one of these places earlier in the day. We shall see.
You're not kidding. One of my favorite places in Charleston. Small, but JAM packed with amazing beer. It is great to see the breweries popping up of late, too.
This place was recommended to me but we never made it down. I really liked New South: Nut Brown, which I had on tap at the Folly Shrimp Co (which I would also recommend). The guy told me it was made by (for?) T-Bonz.
Holy City should be up soon but not sure if it will be in time for your visit. here is the Facebook page if your not already a fan https://www.facebook.com/HolyCityBrewing I also have a friend that is into home brewing big time and said he wants to bring a keg of his brew out to a tailgate sometime. work keeps him traveling but I'm hoping he will be in town for the match your at. I'm sure he would love to have you sample is brews.
i also saw where Charleston beer exchange has a sister store in Greenville. http://www.greenvillebeerexchange.com/
Great place. Around the corner from the best beer bar in the area - Barley's Taproom. Not far from my house, sadly.
Yeah man, I am all over Holy City. I cannot wait to see their stuff. That would be cool. I am working out some details now. There is one HUGE [positive] variable that could throw a monkey wrench into it, but... Stay tuned.
