Charleston Beer Exchange News

Happy Thanksgiving!

We've got some exciting updates from The Charleston Beer Exchange!  Please note:  We will be open for normal hours all days before and after Thanksgiving Day and open from 10am to 1pm on Thanksgiving Day!

Rare Beer Tuesday (11/24)
As we do every Tuesday at 5pm, we'll be tapping an extra, extra special keg on the growler station for growler fills!  This week our feature is the perfect kickoff to the holiday season:  Sweetwater Festive Ale!  This highly limited winter brew from Atlanta is only brewed one day a year.  At 8.6% ABV and brewed with cinnamon and mace this one is true to its Winter Warmer style.  This is one of the lowest priced "Rare Beer Tuesday" features yet so come get some- its perfect for Thanksgiving!

Holiday/Seasonal Beers
We have lots of great beers in stock for Thanksgiving pairings and the rest of the coming holidays!  Popular picks are available like HighlandColdMountain (on the growler station now and in bottles) and Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale (growlers) as well as many more esoteric delights from around the world.  Stop by for a tour!  Also, please keep The Charleston Beer Exchange in mind for your holiday gifts.  Growlers, gift cards and we can even ship to many locations!  Give us a call or stop by for more information.

New In Stock
RJ Rockers Black Perle

Bell's Two Hearted Firkin (11/19)
Please join us on tonight at 5pm when we tap a cask of Bell's Two Hearted Ale for growler fills!  This is what you've all been waiting for!  Derek Zomonski from Bell's will be here for the launch of Two Hearted!  If you are not familiar, real cask ale is beer in its purest form: keg conditioned without force carbonation, filtering or processing.  We tap it with a spigot and let gravity do its work.  The flavors, aromas and texture are especially beautiful and unique.  It is highly perishable and must be consumed the same day so plan accordingly!  These growlers will be limited, first come-first serve so don't miss out! 

In addition to the firkin, we will have Two Hearted available on the growler station, in bottles and in 5L mini kegs! We will also have Bell's Expedition Stout and Bell's Rye Stout on the growler station!  And if you buy two Bell's growlers, a 5L mini keg, or a case of Two Hearted you get a free Bell's pint glass! 

New in Bottles/Back in Stock
Highland Cold Mountain (due in Friday!)
RJ Rockers Black Perle (due in Friday!)
Bell's Two Hearted Ale (bottles and 5L mini keg cans)

OPEN on Thanksgiving Morning!
That's right!  We will be open the morning of Thanksgiving (11/26) from 10am-1pm!  Please come in to ask us about beer pairing ideas for all of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes and stock up on some great beers for Thanksgiving Day!  Also, we still have a few pumpkin beers available in bottles and we will have Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale on the growler station along with The Bruery Autumn Maple!
