Ommegang Hennepin Saison

It’s bright and alive in your mouth, and with citrus overtones. Yet, this beer is also sweeter than I would have expected – but not in anyway oversweet. IT comes in at 7.7% ABV, but it’s a light bodied beer, so quite good for summer drinking, yet with enough ‘kick’ to be warming in the winter.

A gorgeous golden hue when poured. Quite well carbonated, like sparkling wine on the tongue. A clean finish.

Hennepin was a Belgian missionary who ‘discovered’ the Niagara Falls.

I recommend it, as a very drinkable brew. Complex, but yet not challenging.

I got a growler full of this from The Charleston Beer Exchange

Drunk At The Podiatrist

An extremely drunk man looking for a whorehouse stumbles into a
Podiatrist's office instead and weaves over to the receptionist.
Without looking up, she waves him over to the examination bed and
says, "Stick it through that curtain."
Looking forward to something kinky, the drunk pulls out his penis and
sticks it through the crack in the curtains.
"That's not a foot!" screams the nurse on duty.
"Holy shit, lady!" the drunk exclaims, "I never knew you had a minimum!"

Charleston Beer Exchange News

They have lots of new and exciting things going on at The Charleston Beer Exchange this week!

A Special Evening With Dr. Joel From New Holland Brewing

This Friday, April 10th, from 5pm to 6pm they are very excited to host Dr. Joel from New Holland Brewing Company. For those unfamiliar, Dr. Joel is the beer ambassador a.k.a. "The Beer Beast From The East" for this great brewery out of Holland, Michigan. At 5pm they will be tapping a very special and very rare keg of Brother Jacob's Belgian Dubbel for growler fills. This will be the only appearance of this beer in the state of South Carolina. Dr. Joel will be answering questions and talking about his beers as well as handing out fun New Holland swag. Go say "Hi" and get a growler of this great beer! Click here for info on New Holland Brewing and Dr. Joel Cask Event

Saturday

This Saturday, April 11th, at 2pm they will be tapping a special cask of Foothills Dry-Hopped Torch Pilsner. This is only a 5 gallon firkin, so it will only yield 10 or so growlers. This will be first come, first serve. As a reminder, cask ale is very perishable and must be consumed the same day, so please plan accordingly.

Rare Beer Tuesday / Racer X Redux

On Tuesday, April 14th, at 5 pm they will be tapping their second and final keg of Bear Republic Racer X. This rare and delicious double IPA was very popular at their last tapping and sold out quickly so get there early or send someone down for you!
