We have finally semi-recovered from Brewvival. It was out of this world! So many of you trusted both COAST and Charleston Beer Exchange to bring you a world class beer festival and we can’t thank you enough.  This festival idea of ours was different from the beginning and from the looks of the turn-out, ya’ll agree we’re on the right track. Even though I got too busy to try many, the line-up was incredible and we are truly proud of that.

This was our inaugural event and fittingly, we had a few hiccups (namely check in and food shortages as well as some issues with Aloft’s shuttle).  If we do it again, we will of course address all of these.

I am going to attempt to thank some people who, without their support, we would not have been able to pull this off. I apologize to those who I inadvertently leave off……..

The local bands and food vendors who quite simply, rocked! Butterbeans, Po’Ridge, V-Tones, Jason and the Juggernauts and Folkgrass. D’Allesandro’s and Ted’s Butcherblock.

Some of the many volunteers: Mike and Michelle Taliercio, Shane Cummings, Jason and Mary White, and many, many more.

And finally all the Breweries for doing what you do best: brewing fantastic beer because you love it and having faith in our idea!

Here’s hoping that Brewvival was just the beginning of a wonderful year of craft beer in South Carolina!
