Holy City collaborates with SC, NC, GA breweries for Brewvival
If you’ve been following Brewvival’s Twitter account (and if you’re not, you really should), you’ve noticed they’ve slowly been releasing the beers and breweries that will be appearing at the festival. And there was quite an announcement Wednesday afternoon: Of the five beers Holy City will have on hand, four will be collaborations with regional breweries.
In addition to a Jack Daniels barrel-aged version of their Manuel Fantastico barleywine, HCB will also be offering the following:
- Holy Weed, an imperial IPA brewed in collaboration with Wicked Weed out of Asheville, NC. It’ll include green tea from the Charleston Tea Plantation.
- Sister City Saison, a farmhouse ale brewed in collaboration with Savannah’s Southbound Brewing Co. This one’s an imperial saison brewed with rose hips.
- Half Calf, brewed with Spartanburg’s RJ Rockers. It’s a coffee milk stout that includes coffee from Coastal Coffee Roasters in Summerville.
- Shades of Grace, a blend of HCB’s Graveyard Shiftee and NoDa of Charlotte’s Imperial Coco Loco. So, a massive imperial porter.
Brewvival will be held Saturday, February 22, at the field across from COAST. It will sell out.
Green Man launching in Upstate next January
Asheville’s Green Man Brewery will be launching in its first South Carolina market in early 2014.
Following news from the Greenville Beer Exchange last week that the North Carolina beer maker would be available in the area soon, Green Man announced it would begin distributing to the Greenville and Clemson markets starting January 2014. Expect to see their year-round IPA, ESB and Porter – all of which were recently released in six packs – as the first regular offerings.
Green Man started out as a brewpub in downtown Asheville in 1997 at what is now Jack of the Wood. It morphed into a full-fledged brewery in 2010 and is now located down from The Orange Peel and Wicked Weed off Biltmore Avenue, and around the corner from much-hyped upstart Burial Beer Co. They’ll join fellow Asheville breweries Highland and French Broad in the Palmetto State distribution system.
