It’s hard for me to say what my favorite brewery is. As it is I’m sure for most. There are so many great breweries now producing world class beer. I have drank some great beer from several of these breweries but when there is one that is producing that caliber of beer in your own […]
North Charleston and Brewvival
It has been a year since we first started Beer-South and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than to head where it all started……. Brewvival. This year I met Guy in North Charleston for our second annual retreat where we get to try some of the South’s best beers. I drove in […]
Tryon Beer Fest
We woke up Saturday to an overcast day with high rain chances. That wasn’t enough to stop us from heading up to Tryon, NC for their beer festival. When we arrived we really liked how they had things set up. This is the festivals fourth year but we had never been before but had heard […]
Brevard, NC
Truly one of the best things about living near the mountains is fall. The beauty of the foliage every year is a treat. So we packed up the family and headed to Brevard, NC for some hiking and of course a few other activities. Our first stop was a late lunch at The Square Root. […]
Hub City Brew Fest
Wow! Hub City came together to put on one hellava beer festival. This was the inaugural event for Spartanburg and its craft beer scene and it was done quite well. There was a great crowd for the event and it had people of all ages (kids included) in attendance. They had different bands playing throughout […]
The Florida Trip…………………. and Georgia
So Catherine and I made plans to head down to Florida for a few days to enjoy some rest and relaxation. We were going to leave early Friday morning so we could beat the traffic. Well as I was at work on Wednesday, I received an email from Catherine about possibly leaving early and stay […]
Lake Fest…………………..Smith Mountain Lake, Va
There are few places that I enjoy more than I do Franklin County Virginia. I am very fortunate that we have family that lives there. We normally visit at least twice a year. We decided to head up for the weekend to see our family and to attend Lake Fest Craft Beer Festival which is […]
Johnson City……………Thirsty Orange………….and a bonus!
We had made plans to attend the Thirsty Orange Brew Extravaganza in Johnson City, TN months in advance. My folks drove up on Friday so we could leave the next day. My step dad brought up some Cigar City brews for us to enjoy that night, and we are glad he did. We all really […]
Hub City…………………….Spartanburg
Spartanburg…………. Our “home” town. It would just be wrong not to write about it. Now Spartanburg might not be a well known craft beer city but it sure is headed in the right direction. Since we moved here 14 years ago we have seen a positive change. So let’s start out with the place to […]
Day Trippin’……….Hendersonville
We are fortunate to live so close to the mountains. It’s a hop, skip, and a jump for us to get in the car and go. One Saturday we did just that. With the kids in tow we went to Hendersonville. We go up quite frequently in the fall but not usually in the winter. […]
