The first ever Charleston Craft Beer week begins Sunday April 22nd and will last until Sunday April 29th. There is a ton of events going on this week, and to see them all click here. Our only local brewery participating is Holy City Brewing, and I strongly suggest supporting them since they kick @$$! Not sure why Coast, Westbrook and Palmetto aren't participating, but from what I have been able to gather they were not asked to. That does not make me happy and doesn't make much sense, but they will still be open for their normal tastings. Of all the events this coming week, here are the events that look most appealing to me.
1) Bark For Your Brew- Dog friendly craft beer tasting that will take place from 2-5pm on Sunday April 22nd at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park before the Riverdogs game. Price is $30 and includes ticket to the game. 30 breweries will be present and live music by Junkyard Angel. Buy tickets here.
2) Cinebarre "Beer Wars" Documentary featuring Dogfish Head Rare Beer Flights. Cinebarre will show the documentary "Beer Wars" on Monday April 23rd for free and will have Dogfish Head Flights available for $10. Beers available for the flight will be Namaste, 75 Minute, 90 Minute, My Antonia, Midas Touch and Palo Santo. Pick 4 of them for the $10 flight. Event starts at 6pm and movie starts at 7:30pm. Get there early for a special rare beer sampling from the Dogfish Head rep who will be available to discuss the beers as well as Dogfish Head's role in the film.
3) The Battle of the Carolinas. Starting at 8pm on Monday April 23rd, The Griffon will have our local Holy City Brewing guys facing off against North Carolina's Foothills Brewing in a unique taste-off. Support local beer people!!!
