Quest expanding statewide in February

Quest

A while back, Don from Quest told me if all went as planned, the Greenville brewery would expand from local to statewide distribution in early 2014, with Brewvival in February acting as a sort of launch for the Charleston area. Seems as if they’re sticking to that schedule as the brewery announced today they’re on track to be available statewide starting next month.

The expansion out of the Upstate follows a recent draft launch in Columbia and other parts of SC. Expect to see Quest available on draft around Charleston and at Brewvival, with cans likely following later this year.

Conquest, radio station team up to preview WBF brew

Conquest

You’ll recall a couple of weeks ago, Conquest and representatives from All About Beer Magazine got together to brew a beer that will debut at the upcoming World Beer Festival in Columbia on January 18. Now that the festival is a little more than a week away and the beer is just about ready, they’re asking drinkers to help put the finishing touches on the brew.

Thursday evening, WXRY-FM – which will be broadcasting live – and Conquest will give patrons at Columbia’s World of Beer a chance to sample the English-style porter before its wide debut at the festival. On top of that, they’ll have the chance to pick which additional flavors will go into the final release. That finished product will then be widely available at the World Beer Festival the following weekend.

Conquest made its SC debut at the 2013 WBF and will be celebrating its first anniversary on January 25 with the release of The Finisher imperial stout.
