Hello everyone!  Here’s this week’s lineup!

Rare Beer Tuesday with Stone/Ballast Point Collaboration! (9/28)
As you probably know, Tuesday at 5pm is our weekly time slot for some of our most special growler offerings and this Tuesday is no different as we proudly tap “San Diego County Session Ale“, a unique collaboration between Stone, Ballast Point and Kelsey McNair.  This beer is big in hoppy aroma and flavor but at 4.2% ABV you can drink it comfortably.  An “all-day-IPA” of sorts, this is true session beer for hop heads!  This beer was extremely limited in South Carolina so don’t miss one of your only chances to pick some up!

Rare Bomber Thursday with Oskar Blues – Part 2 (9/30)
Following last week’s Rare Bomber Thursday release of the elusive Whiskey Barrel Aged Ten Fidy, we are thrilled to follow up this week with Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey Barrel Aged Old Chub Scotch Ale from Oskar Blues!  This wondrous elixir, often referred to as “Chubourbon”, shows amazing notes of vanilla, caramel, oak and butterscotch.  Stunningly rich and complex.  One to save and savor.  This will be available in 22oz counter-pressure filled “growlers” starting at 5pm on Thursday.

Saturday Cask Event with Terrapin Beer Co. (10/2)
This Saturday at 2pm we’ll be tapping our next cask (firkin) of real ale for growler fills!  This time we have a unique specialty from Terrapin: Cherry Oak Big Hoppy Monster!  These one off casks are always a blast and a tricked out version of one our all time favorites is sure to be a hit!

If you have never been to one of our special cask ale releases before, it is beer in it’s purest form: conditioned in the cask and free of force carbonation, filtration or other processing.  Real cask ales allow the beer to showcase different nuances of texture, flavor and aroma than their normally kegged counterparts.  Unlike our regular growler fills, cask ale is highly perishable and must be consumed the same day so plan accordingly!  We will gravity tap this cask on the counter at 2pm and growler fills of this beauty will be limited so don’t wait.

Carolina’s Beer Dinner with Breckenridge Brewmaster Todd Usry (9/28)
This Tuesday, September 28th at 7pm, Carolina’s will be hosting Todd Usry, President & Brewmaster of Breckenridge Brewery for a beer dinner featuring five of his wonderful beers each expertly paired with Chef Jeremiah Bacon’s exquisite food for a night to remember!  Call Carolina’s at (843) 724-3800 for reservations and additional information.
