Kudu...Revisited!
Recently, the wifey and I went downtown to check out the changes that have taken place at one of our favorite places to go for craft beer and/or coffee. If you haven't been to Kudu Coffee and Craft Beer, then you need to get your @$$ there soon because you're missing out! I wrote a post on Kudu awhile back, and you can check that out here...or just keep scrolling down. Since I already did a write up, this is just an update on what has changed since the last time I was there. Here it goes. They used to have 4 beers on tap, now they have expanded to 22. That is one hell of an expansion! Good Work! I like it! Beers are top notch too!

My Visit to Holy City Brewing!
Well, I finally got out to Holy City Brewing!!! It definitely did not disappoint! HCB is a local brewery, located on Dorchester Road in North Charleston. There are four guys who comprise HCB: Joel, Sean, Chris, and Mac. According to their website: "Holy City Brewing started in the bike shop of Pedi Cab and Rickshaw, owned by Joel Carl and Sean Nemitz. Joel, Chris, Sean, and Mac started brewing, on the 15 gallon system that Joel built using used bike parts, in 2009. As our ideas (and beers) grew, a building was leased and the micro-brewery started to take form." And here it is!
Love the look!

SouthBound Brewing Company!
I just wanted to give all you craft beer fans who live in/near Charleston a heads up that there will be a new brewery with a "Charleston connection" opening up in Savannah, Georgia in the near future. SouthBound Brewing Company is the beerchild brainchild of Smith Mathews, former Head Brewer at Westbrook Brewing. Smith will also serve as the Brewmaster of his new brewery!

The House of Brews Review!
The House of Brews (located in Mt. Pleasant on Ben Sawyer Blvd.) just had their Grand Opening last Saturday in the form of an Oktoberfest Celebration! The wifey and I decided it was finally time to check out this new place we had heard so much about. We decided to make a day out of drinking good beer, so we started the day at Coast Brewing and ended it at the House of Brews. The second I walked in the door, I knew it was my kind of place.

Coast Brewing Review!
The wifey and I took her parents to Coast Brewing in North Charleston this weekend. This was probably our 10th time going to Coast, and I love it more and more every time.
Taken from their website: "Coast Brewing Co. is a small, family owned craft brewery - Located across from Noisette Creek on the Old Navy Base. We believe in utilizing alternative means to brew unique beer. We also believe in choice organic and local ingredients. From our biodiesel fired kettle to our energy efficient process, we forge hand crafted batches on our 7 bbl brewhouse."

Wine Awhile Review!
If you still haven't been to Wine Awhile in Mt. Pleasant, you definitely need to check it out very soon. It's a pretty sweet spot, and a nice location for me since it's located about 5 minutes from my work. Perfect for after work happy hour!!! I've been there probably about 6 times over the past year. It's located in Mt. Pleasant, where Rt. 17 meets Rt. 41, just before the Super Walmart.
Wine Awhile sells wine obviously, but more importantly (in my opinion), it has a 6 tap growler station with a nice selection of craft beers. Besides filling your growler, you can also get a 1/2 pint or a full pint to enjoy there. In addition, they also have a selection of singles, 4 packs, and 6 packs. When I was browsing the bottled beer section on my most recent visit, the owner mentioned that there will be a greater selection in the very near future. BONUS!!! He also mentioned that a new burger bar called "Vino Burgerz" will be opening soon and it will be connected to Wine Awhile. He also said that at this new burger bar, they will host beer dinners and had a Stone Brewing beer dinner already lined up. This place just went from being pretty sweet, to KICK @$$!!!
On this most recent visit, the wifey and I were on a mission to fill our growler with some tasty brew. On the growler station, they had: Avery Saison Rye, Mad Hatter Rye, Coast Shreddin' Wheat, Victory Headwater Pale Ale, Coast Belafonte, and Southern Tier Creme Brulee. For us, it came down to either Coast Shreddin' Wheat or Coast Belaftone. We had to support our local craft brewery (Coast Brewing)! The owner let us sample both and because we just couldn't decide, we ending up each getting a pint of Belafonte and filling up the growler with the Shreddin' Wheat. I figured while I was there, I might as well grab a 22 oz of Avery Maharaja for good measure. Pretty nice little Saturday! While we enjoyed our pint, the owner filled our growler and put it in the refrigerator so we would have our growler at just the right temperature. Nice service!
Here's a bit more info about Vino Burgerz, taken from Wine Awhiles facebook page: "Vino Burgerz- a gourmet burger bar that complements wine and beer. We have a wide variety of burgers and not all of them are beef. Chef Joey Passarini has created an amazing menu to share with you." Stay tuned for more information, and an opening date. I am definitely excited to check it out!
For the wine lovers, they do have some great wines for sale by the bottle as well as a cool 24 bottle wine station where you can choose to sample wines, get a 1/2 glass, or a full glass. Basically you just put money on a wine debit card and you serve yourself whatever you happen to feel like. I've seen groups of people in there, conducting their own wine tasting, and it's really affordable. They always have specials going on too. One recent special was, if you loaded $10 on your wine debit card, you got an extra $5 on the card for free. Not too shabby!
Again, if you haven't been to Wine Awhile yet, you definitely should stop by and check it out. Also, keep your ear open for when Vino Burgerz is going to open. I have a feeling it's going to be a nice little hot spot!
Cheers!

The Frothy Beard Brewing Company!
A few weeks back I stumbled across a Facebook page for The Frothy Beard Brewing Company. I was excited to read that they were located in Charleston, so I immediately "Liked" the page so I could find out more about who these Frothy Beard guys are. I found an email address and emailed them right away, as I needed to find out more about them and hopefully get to try some of their beer! The guys from Frothy Beard got back to me right away and even invited me to one of their tasting parties.
