Holy City readies 3rd pre-Brewvival fish fry

holycity

For the past couple of years, Holy City has hosted a fish fry the Friday night before Brewvival to give people a chance to congregate, celebrate and get a preview of what the brewery will be pouring at the festival the next day.

That tradition continues this year as HCB once again hosts the gathering on Friday, February 21, from 3-8 PM.

REFULER’S Mobile Cafe will be serving food (including fried fish) and The Bluestone Ramblers will be providing tunes. And as with previous years, all of the beers HCB will be pouring at Brewvival will be on tap. This year’s offerings include multiple collaborations with Wicked Weed, NoDa, RJ Rockers and Southbound. Brewers from those breweries may also be making an appearance at the event.

The event is free, aside from beer and food. You can RSVP at the Facebook event page.

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.
