Freehouse opens tasting room Saturday

Freehouse

Charleston’s Freehouse Brewery will open its tasting room to the public for the first time this weekend.

While beer from South Carolina’s newest brewery has been available around the Charleston area for a few weeks, the brewery itself has not been open to the general public. That changes this Saturday, December 7, when the brewery will be open for tastings and tours from noon to 5 PM.

Freehouse is located at 2895 Pringle Street, Suite B, in Charleston.

Conquest gets first label approval

Conquest

Plans for Columbia’s Conquest to begin bottling a number of its beers got a step closer to reality during the weekend as the first look at future label artwork was revealed.

BeerPulse on Saturday posted the federally approved artwork for Medusa, Conquest’s year-round 5.2% stout. The label features a strip for a bottling date, suggested serving temperature and glassware and a verbose yet detailed description of the beer penned by head brewer Joseph Ackerman. Look for similar artwork for other future releases from Conquest, including The Finisher, the 17.5% imperial stout slated for a January release.

Correction: The label artwork for Sacred Heart was the first approved for Conquest around a week ago. The design itself isn’t online, but you get the gist of what the labels will look like.
