Congrats to Michelle T and Scott Hodo for winning the raffle we held at our first day open. Michelle won some London yeast and Scott won a homebrewing book! Yeah for free stuff.

Saturdays 9-1 and Tuesdays 4-7 

Yes, we will open this Saturday the 15th from 9-1! We’ve got all your ingredients covered, along with basic supplies. We do have small quantities of different varieties of hops (sorry, no cascades or centennial). Belgian glassware is on it’s way, but won’t be here for Saturday. Come on by and get what you need for that winter brew and let us know what else we should carry. We’ll also have a few raffles for some fun.

I don’t have a list of the cheeses yet but Charlie at Red Drum will have the 32/50 kolsch, the HopArt IPA and the Blackbeerd Imperial Stout paired with his glorious cheeses. $20, any time between 5:30 and 9:30. And we’ll be there too ! (maybe not the whole 4 hours but we’ll try really hard!)

Well, I was hoping to get our little shop open Tuesday but we have a Red Drum event and we are trying to wire up our new mill. Looks like Saturday December 15 will be our official opening day. Here is the run down of what we have (the basics!!)…

Malts (Many to choose from Weyermann and Munton’s)

Hops  (a few varieties and only a few ounces)

Yeast (slap packs)

Basic equipment:

Glass Carboys

Racking canes, brushes, cleaning supplies, bottle caps, hydrometers…

Books on homebrewing

We even have a few wine kits

Wow, that was a lot of beery events. Thursdays beer dinner at Ted’s Butcher Block was fantastic. My extra special vegeterian food was out of this world. I want that quinoa chili recipe!

The launch of BlackBeerd at Charleston Beer Works was a success. Big thanks to Tim for really believing in COAST and having all 4 (including the last of the brown) on tap.

The Beer Fest at d.d peckers went well I think. The crowd seemed genuinely interested in sampling and discussing a gamut of beers. That is so rewarding to us brewers, it is exactly what we want to see. And exactly why I became President of Pop the Cap SC. I do see a growing appreciation of craft beer and it is sooo nice! Let’s hope it continues.

Yum…. 

Blackbeerd Imperial Stout   9.3% abv  As dark as the legend of Blackbeard himself, behold the Imperial Stout. Sweet malts battle roasted grain on the decks of yer tongue. Like the blast from a cannon, hops are followed by smoked malt. Hold on to yer booty, this one packs a punch.Ingredients:   Two-Row*,  Munich *, Black,  Caraffa*,  Roasted Barley*,  Smoked Malt, Oats* & Extra Special* Malts,  Magnum and Palisades Hops, Ale Yeast and tripled filter water.                                                                                                                        *organic
