14 Dec 10 Sour Growler Tuesday, BACCO Beer Dinner, Westbrook Launch & More!
Ever since we ran Petrus Aged Pale draft for growler fills, people have been begging for us to put it on again. The draft version of this beer was a one time, commemorative release and we wanted to save the last keg for a while. With the Christmas season in full swing, we thought this was the right time to put a smile on all the sour-heads faces so at 5pm tomorrow (Tuesday) we’ll be offering growlers of this most sour gem! The draft of this is markedly more sour than its original, bottled counter-part so if you are a fan of barrel aged sour/wild ales you do not want to miss this one! At 7.3% ABV and barrel aged for over 20 months, the flavor and aroma of this golden blonde ale are incomparable.BACCO Italian Beer Dinner (12/16)
Please join us for our final beer dinner event of 2010. We are wrapping the year up
with a bang! This will be a truly spectacular evening featuring rare and exquisite craft beers from Italy and the divine food of Michael Scognamiglio, owner/chef of BACCO Italian Restaurant!

12 Nov 10 Charleston Beer Exchange News
Sierra Nevada 30th/CBX 2nd Anniversary Weekend
To celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of The Charleston Beer Exchange and the 30th Anniversary of Sierra Nevada (which are on the same day!) we are throwing an all out Sierra Nevada celebratory weekend at CBX! To start, we’ll be kicking things off tomorrow morning (Saturday 11/13) at opening with Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale and Pale Ale on the growler station for only $7.99 per fill and every fill will come with a Sierra Nevada pint glass – absolutely free! Of course we can only offer this while supplies last but we’ve got a good amount to kick things off. We’ll also have Sierra Nevada Northern Hemisphere Harvest Wet Hop Ale on the growler station and the free glass offer still applies! We’ll have plenty of Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary coasters to giveaway too! We’ll keep this going as long as the beer lasts. Come early to ensure you don’t miss out.
On Monday (November 15th) it will be the actual dual anniversary day and for this special day we’ll be tapping all four of the special Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary release beers on the growler station simultaneously! This will be an amazing opportunity to pick up growlers of these very limited releases including “Fritz & Ken’s Ale” Imperial Stout, “Charlie, Fred & Ken’s Bock” Imperial Helles Bock, “Jack & Ken’s Ale” Black Barleywine, and the highly anticipated, just released “Our Brewers Reserve” Grand Cru Ale. Each one of these beers commemorates some of the founding fathers of the American craft beer renaissance and each one scores ratings nearing the perfect 100 point mark. Anybody that buys all four of the special anniversary growlers on Monday will receive an extra special, beautiful Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary commemorative snifter style glass. These are super limited!
Dogfish Head Double Randall Tuesday (11/16)
If we’ve still got your attention, we’ll tip you off to a special event we are hosting during our “Rare Beer Tuesday” time slot next week! Claus Hagelman of Dogfish Head will be joining us from 4:30pm to 6pm to launch/debut our new “Dogfish Head Randall 3.0″ program and we’ll be doing two different Dogfish Head beers through two Randalls with some very crazy special treatments! Stay tuned to Monday’s announcements for the specifics but prepare for some really wild stuff! If you’re not sure what we’re talking and/or saying “What’s a Randall?” check this link out: Dogfish Head Ranall The Enamel Animal. Lots more to come on this!

11 Oct 10 Charleston Beer Exchange News
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.
