    Coast Brewing Co. Around noon for an afternoon tour/tasting, Pork Slap w/ beers for lunch at Closed for Business, & bottles at Charleston Beer Exchange. That makes for a beertastic day!

    Terrapin, yes, but I don't think the other two.

    Westbrook also worth seeking out (though I am less familiar)

    Hands down the Charleston Beer Exchange. They have their Inventory posted on their website. That will let you make a "Wish List" for him to pick-up.

    Ditto on the Beer Exchange. Easily the best beer store in the city, and they should have anything you want. They have both Foothills and Terrapin, but Olde Hickory isn't too prevalent in SC yet.

    The website's inventory list is more or less dead-on. You can find it here: http://www.charlestonbeerexchange.com/inventory/

    COAST released Boy King, last week I think. I'm not sure how much is still around as I'm not in town right now, but it's definitely worth grabbing a growler or a bottle of. Tasty brew.

    Olde Hickory isn't in SC at all, Foothills just came back recently though.

    Scott,
    Thank you for your help today. CBX is always the highlight of my trip into Charleston and I'm glad I was able to pluck a few gems from you! We'll see you soon.

    Not true, a few joints up here got some bottles. It's on tap right now at Barley's in Greenville.

    Their sales guy told me it was unlikely but not totally out of the question that SC would get any. I guess they did some to the state.

    Bump. Heading down there from Chicago for a wedding this weekend. Anything limited releases currently available or special events going on this weekend? Any Boy King still available? If not, possible IP trade?

    Boy King just got released this past week again (new batch). They had it available at the brewery as of today. Check Charleston Beer Exchange if you're downtown.
