As we do every Tuesday, we’ll be tapping a very special keg at 5pm for growler fills.
Tonight’s feature will be Black Tulip Trippel from New Holland Brewing out of Michigan.
The Black Tulip has long been a favorite Belgian-style bottle of ours (on the rare occasions it has been available) but has never before been available on draft in South Carolina. This is the one and only keg sent to the Palmetto State so don’t miss this unique chance to bring a growler home.
As described by the brewery:
"Mysterious, alluring and seductive, yet tantalizingly elusive; these are the storied characteristics of the Black Tulip.
Golden in color, Black Tulip Trippel is a delightful beer with a slightly sweet body. Its ester-laden character reveals an enigmatic dance between Belgian ale yeast and Michigan beet sugar, conjuring hints of bananas and rock candy. Its inviting flavor is complemented by a pleasing dry finish."
Cheers,

Rare Beer Tuesday Tonight at 5pm (5/12)
We have a really incredible "Rare Beer Tuesday" offering tonight on the growler station. This is not a beer that we ever could have anticipated actually getting in South Carolina but, much to our grateful amazement, here it is: Ballast Point Sculpin IPA. This is one of the most highly sought after IPAs in the world and sees only ultra-limited production. Ballast Point has been turning out some of the most exciting recent releases and surely this sits at the pinnacle of the collection. This IPA is one of the very best we have ever had. Tap time is at 5pm. First come, first serve. It won’t last very long. Here are some links to reviews of this beer:
