26 Jun 12 What’s On at The Charleston Beer Exchange

Lots of great stuff happening this week with The Charleston Beer Exchange!

Check out the latest updates:

The Lost Abbey & New Belgium for Rare Beer Tuesday (6/26)
Tuesdays at 5pm is the time they save to tap an even-more-extra-special-than-usual keg for growler fills and this week they have a real duesy!  A collaboration between two extraordinary breweries, The Lost Abbey and New Belgium, this rare treat’s name suggests a bit about its nature.  “Brett Beer” (as it is called) is fermented with wild Belgian brettanomyces yeast and weighing in at 7.5% ABV. “Brewed simply with pale malts accompanied by Target, Centennial and Sorachi hops for a hint of citrus. Focusing on their mutual respect for the ingredient, the spotlight shines on the brettanomyces, where a full brett fermentation offers bold pineapple overtones and funky, sour edge. The beer is a shining, golden shade and is warming and dry”.  As you may know, in South Carolina they do not normally receive anything from The Lost Abbey so thanks to this special collaboration they are fortunate to catch a brief window of opportunity to try something of their creation.  Released through the special “Lips of Faith” Series by New Belgium, this limited beer will be available in all three size growlers (32oz, 64oz, 128oz) on a first come first serve basis.  Don’t miss this one!

Beer School in the Kudu Courtyard Continues! (6/26)
Last week’s sold out, inaugural “Beer School” class was a phenomenal success with a wonderful (and educational) time had by all!  They have a few open spots remaining for tomorrow night’s class in the Kudu courtyard!  From 7pm to 9pm, Professor Brandon “Old Time” Plyler will lead an exploration of Ale vs. Lager which he has coyly titled “Everything You Know is Wrong”!  Reservations are quite limited and required so call them at  (843) 577-5446 to reserve your place for this or any of the upcoming additional classes.  Check out the rest of the course schedule here.  Single classes are $25 each and include all beers to be sampled.
