    I'll be in Charleston for just 2 days (7/28-7/29) and I'd like to find the following cans to bring home:
    Noda Hop Drop n Roll
    COAST Boy King
    Holy City Yeast Wrangler

    Not sure if COAST bottles or cans their beer? I'd like to visit them but I won't be able to make it there Thursday between 4-7 pm. Are the others available in stores? I may go straight to Holy City from the airport on Wednesday. Please let me know if there are other great local IPA's that I can find in this short trip. I may be hitting Westbrook too. If COAST does bottle/can that beer and you can't get it anywhere but the brewery, would anyone be up for grabbing some for me the weekend before and I can bring you some trades from Boston?

    thanks,
    Mike

    There are no noda cans in SC at all. Westbrook, HC, and COAST all can their regular lineups and those should be easy to find. Yeast wrangler cans and Boyking bottles have been gone from my part of the state for a while though so unless new batches are released or they've still got them at the brewery you might be out of luck on those.

    Boy king is bombers and draft. Get some Westbrook one claw cans instead of their IPA, rye pale ale that's absolutely top notch (their IPA is good but not significantly different from a ton of other IPAs on the market). Get COAST 32/50 Kolsch and HopArt cans, you'll regret neither

    Not from SC, but Foothills Jade IPA is great (#3 IPA/DIPA on BA from NC) and their Seeing Double DIPA is solid as well. There's a good chance you might be able to find one or both of these around Charleston.

    Nice. I've tried Seeing Double before on my travels and liked it. I'll look for both. Thanks.

    Holy City Overly Friendly is canned and may be around. I've been very impressed by that beer, much more so than Yeast Wrangler. Agree with above poster on One Claw as well. Great beer. Also, if you can find it fresh, check out Seminar Citrocity and Conquest Sacred Heartier (10.5% ABV, so be careful)

    If you get lucky, you might be here when Westbrook puts out their Citrus Ninja. It should be coming out really soon

    COAST HOPArt is in cans, and is an excellent IPA, I concur with Westbrook One Claw, but I'm not overly impressed with their IPA

    I see Boy King is at Coast and available in cans or bottles. Anyone want to grab 2 and meetup on Wednesday to trade? I could bring a Maine Beer Lunch and Dinner for you. I land at 1 on Wednesday and will be hitting some breweries for sure. I'll be working Thursday til about 8-9pm, then more beers. Staying at Hampton Inn Mt Pleasant. Send me a message if you can help.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Chas Sports Pub and Crafty Draught (growler shop) in Charleston has Jekyll Brewing's Hop Dang Diggity. You may be able to find it in bottles around Charleston, too.

    Dinner is brewery only release. No big deal. I'm sure I'll find some good beers while in town.
