Stone Vertical Epic 10.10.10 is now in stock! This year it’s brewed with Muscat, Gewurtzraminer and Sauvignon Blanc grapes and chamomile. It sits at 9.5% ABV and is sure to be a hot item as it is every year! Bottles available now, also watch the growler station line up as this will be making an appearance soon.

Rare Beer Tuesday Double Feature (10/12)
Tuesdays at 5pm we always tap an extra special keg for growler fills but this week we’re doubling down with not one but two spectacular specialties:

First up will be the South Carolina debut of a brand new Double IPA from Southern Tier called 2XIPA! This mouth watering hop lovers delight weighs in at 8.2% ABV. It is “citrusy and clean with an incredible finish”.

Our other feature will be the next barrel aged beer from Rogue in the “John John” series. This time around Rogue has started with their Hazelnut Brown Nectar and then aged it in Rogue’s Hazelnut Spiced Rum barrels! John John Hazelnut Brown Nectar is 5.6% ABV.

Sustainable Seafood Dinner with COAST Brewing at The Glass Onion (10/12)
There’s still a few seats left for this incredible beer dinner event so call The Glass Onion at (843) 225-1717 for your reservations! Visitwww.ilovetheglassionion.com for menu and more info.

Rare Bomber Thursday (10/14)
Thursday at 5pm we’ll be releasing the next beer in our weekly 22oz counter-pressure filled bomber style growlers and we’ve got something really extraordinary – a very unique, draft only brew from the New Belgium “Lips of Faith” line up! This one is called Fall Wild Ale. “Mahogany-hued autumn ale spiced with schisandra, opens with the floral, earthy notes of fall itself. Schisandra berries, known as “five flavor fruit,” possess a panoply of flavors . This malt-forward dubbel ale is fermented with a Trappist yeast and finishes dry and slightly sour.” 8.5% ABV.

Firkin Cask Saturday (10/16)
This Saturday at 2pm we’ll be gravity tapping our next one-off cask (firkin) for growler fills and this time we’ve got the big boy from Stone Brewing Co: Ruination IPA! This already monstrously hoppy, 7.7% ABV beast has had an addition of Chinook and Centennial hops to the cask for a little something extra! Remember, unlike our regular growlers, real cask ale is highly perishable and must be consumed the same day so plan accordingly!

Ted’s Butcherblock Fifth Anniversary Block Party (10/16)
Mark your calendars for the big Ted’s birthday bash on Saturday, October 16th from Noon to 5pm! There will be tons of great food, beer, wine, music, giveaways and more! For more information visit TedsButcherblock.com or call (843) 577-0094.

Cheers!

08 Oct 10 This Weekend at Charleston Beer Exchange

Happy Weekend!

There’s some great stuff coming up:

Smuttynose Big A IPA Cask with The Glass Onion – Saturday 10/9
Join us tomorrow (Saturday) for the 2pm gravity tapping of a Smuttynose cask (firkin)! This one is the ever popular Big A IPA but with a special twist: It has been dry hopped with Simcoe, Centennial, Santium and Cascade hops along with a nice French Oak treatment! Remember, unlike our regular growler fills, real cask ale is highly perishable and must be consumed the same day so plan accordingly. This cask is sure to sell out quickly so don’t procrastinate (or at least don’t blame us when it’s all gone).

To tantalize your taste buds while picking up your Smutty growler, Sarah from The Glass Onion will be on hand from 1:30 to 3:00pm offering some free, delicious finger sandwiches and raffling off a ticket to their COAST Beer Dinner next week along with some other great prizes! During this event, anybody who makes a reservation for the COAST/Sustainable Seafood Dinner happening this Tuesday (10/12) at The Glass Onion will be entered into the raffle! Along with the first place dinner ticket, you could also win a growler of COAST HopArt or a Glass Onion gift certificate! For more details, click here.

Glass Onion Sustainable Seafood Dinner with COAST Brewing (10/12)
Even if you can’t make the cask tapping to sign up for your chance at a free seat to the dinner, you can still call to make your reservations the old fashioned way: Tuesday, October 12th, The Glass Onion will host a Sustainable Seafood Initiative dinner with COAST Brewery. David Merritt and Jaime Tenny, brewer and owners of COAST, will be on hand to discuss their beers paired with a four course seafood menu. Beers featured in this dinner include the 32/50 Kolsch, HopArt IPA, Event Horizon Cascadian Dark Ale and vintage 2009 Red Legs Scotch Ale! Sure to be a wonderful evening! Visit http://www.ilovetheglassonion.com for menu and additional information or call (843) 225-1717 to make your reservations!
