Carolina BrewHaHa - 2017

The 2017 version of Carolina BrewHaHa (http://www.carolinabrewhaha.com/) is now in the history books, and that history will show that it was another big success with some outstanding beers and new brewery attendees; New Groove Artisan Brewery in Boiling Springs one (http://newgroovebrew.com/) and Cooper River in Charleston another (http://cooperriverbrewing.com/).
The event was not overly crowded so it was easy to get to the beer pourers and for VIP ticket holders, some very special beers, including a two year old Cold Mountain from Highland Brewing, Asheville.

There was also good music (http://www.carolinabrewhaha.com/music) to sip beer and toe tap by, excellent brats and lots of friendly, like-minded beer lovers. A recipe for success, every year. Well done, Jake.

In between tastes, I managed to grab a few snaps. Maybe you or a friend are in here:

See ya there next year!

Cheers.

Fall for Greenville Fun As Ever

Recovering from a soggy Saturday and a sunny Sunday at Fall for Greenville. As usual, great music and outstanding choices for craft beer. Our locals were well represented with lines forming (on Sunday anyway) at each. Favorite of the event, for me and friends who came with us, turned out to be Foothills' India Pale Lager, although Trifecta by Thomas Creek was a close second. Weird food of the event, tho it tasted good but deadly, was the Fried Oreos. Yep, I tried one. Nope, did not have a second. Used some Holy City's Plough Mud Stout to erase the taste. Congrats to all the organizers, breweries and volunteers who made this year's event as fun as ever. Cheers.

Saturday was wet but we stayed for Honey and the Hotrods.

Main in the rain, Sunday.

Thomas Creek and Quest were there, wet with everyone else. Sunday was sunny!

Sunny Sunday on Main. Got very crowded with food-loving folks.

Our favorite beer of the day was the India Pale Lager from our friends from Winston-Salem, NC.

Wasted Wine as a big crowd pleaser. Note the Harmonium on the table. Don't see that often.

Cheers. #nextyear

Swamp Rabbit Brewing and Taproom Septembrew Cont'd

Some additional photos from yesterday's Swamp Rabbit Brewery and Taproom Septembrew Fest. Over 400 beer lovers showed up to enjoy new and old favorite beers in a festive, friendly environment. There were pretzel eaters, dancing girls (when they weren't pouring), even a couple celebrating the second day of their engagement. Music, food, sun, smiles and, of course, beer - that's a never fail recipe for a good time. Cheers!!
