Spring is right around the corner, and in South Carolina that means the return of one of the state’s popular seasonal beers: RJ Rockers’ Son of a Peach.
The spring seasonal produced by the Spartanburg brewery is a 6% ABV unfiltered wheat ale brewed with real peaches. Stores statewide have already started receiving shipments here and there, but the brewery announced today more shipments were going out to local distributors. You should see it popping up more and more in the next week or so.
Love ’em or hate ’em, Goose Island is now a bigger presence in SC.
Packs of Goose Island IPA, Honker’s Ale ESB, Summertime Kölsch and 312 Urban Wheat (also in cans) were put on display in beer stores across Columbia on Friday. The bottle launch follow a few months after the draft-only release as the now AB-InBev owned brand goes through its nationwide launch.
As for Bourbon County, Sofie, Matilda and all the other Goose Island beers I know you want, they’ll reportedly be launched on a market-by-market basis based on the strength of sales of the year-round brands. So, if you want to pick up packs of BCBS in the Midlands, you’ll have to pony up for the other stuff for the time being.

The “Beers” section of Westbrook‘s website got a bit of an upgrade recently, primarily the addition of a section devoted to previewing soon-to-be-released beers.
There are six beers currently showcased on the new section, including:
All six beers are scheduled to be bottled and released in March. You’ll want to get your hands on Rummy Old Time if you can as only 18 cases produced.
Side note: Brandon “Old Time” Plyler’s lookin’ mighty fine in that artwork.
