KICK OFF 2010 WITH AN OYSTER ROAST AT PEARLZ LITTLE OYSTER BAR
IN WEST ASHLEY

THIS SUNDAY, JANUARY 10th
2-5pm
CHECK OUT THE NEW FRONT PATIO!!
LIVE MUSIC BY HENRI GATES
$1.50 PBR CANS
$10 ALL YOU CAN EAT OYSTERS

As they do every Tuesday at 5pm, they’ll be tapping something super extra special on the growler station!  Their feature this week is a sensational double header from Ballast Point Brewing Company: Sculpin IPA (7% ABV) and Victory at Sea Coffee Vanilla Imperial Porter (10% ABV)!  These are two of the most sought after beers in the world and always sell out fast.  They don’t get them very often so this is a truly rare chance at these growlers.  Please note there will be a one per person limit on Sculpin IPA growler fills.

Greetings!

We’ve got some exciting updates from The Charleston Beer Exchange:

Rare Beer Tuesday (12/8)
As you probably know, every Tuesday at 5pm we tap something extraordinary on the growler station for growler fills.  This week we have a double feature!  From New Holland Brewing Company, out of Holland, Michigan, we are thrilled to have Dragon’s Milk Ale Aged in Oak Barrels and Pilgrim’s Dole Wheat Wine!  Both of these wonderful beers are extremely rare to find on draft let alone having them both at once.

Dragon’s Milk weighs in at 9% ABV and is aged in used 1st and 2nd fill Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrels which give this stout-like beer wonderful depths of vanilla and oak.  Pilgrim’s Dole weighs in at a whopping 11% ABV and is referred to as a “Wheat Wine” by the brewery.  A kind of barleywine-style ale but brewed using 50% wheat.  This beer is then barrel aged in the used barrels that have previously held Dragon’s Milk!  Both of these big beers are world class!  Don’t miss the chance to try them.
