Thomas Creek launches new website

thomas-creek

A couple of months ago, I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at the upcoming new website for Greenville’s Thomas Creek Brewery. The brewery had planned a complete redesign of its homepage, and anyone who had ever visited the old site knew it was time for South Carolina’s largest brewery to … well, let’s say join the rest of us in the 21st century. (No offense, TC, but that was a pretty ugly website.)

Today, that new website has gone live, and it looks mighty fine.

The website has been redone from top to bottom thanks to Columbia’s Chernoff Newman ad agency and gives a detailed and visually appealing breakdown of all the brewery’s beers, staff and more. Yours truly even makes an appearance on the Buzz section! (Note: Free promotion in no way influences my opinion that this is the second-best website on the Internet.)

The TC crew is still working out some of the kinks, but for the most part things are up and running. Go check it out and get an eyeful.

COAST, Palmetto celebrate Pint Law passage with Pint Pedal

scbrewers

Charleston’s COAST and Palmetto breweries are teaming up to celebrate beer, bikes and South Carolina’s recently passed Pint Law with the inaugural Pint Pedal celebration.

The coastal breweries are teaming up for an event that merges a bike parade with the joy of being able to finally enjoy pints at SC breweries. Starting at the Palmetto brewery, riders will take a police-escorted bike over to COAST, where there will be music, food trucks and – of course – plenty of beer to enjoy. After some time there, riders will head back to Palmetto to wrap up the festivities.

Round-trip, it’s about 10 miles, but the route is an easy one. Trek Bicycle Store will be on hand to help tune up bikes if need be. Registration is required and will be capped at 125 riders. The fee of $5, which will go to support the Fat Tire Freaks bicycle club.
