BREWS for the BBQ

               

The official beginning of summer brings about the age old American past time of the BBQ. Whether it’s a family gathering or the myriad collection of friends that are sure to follow ‘til the days draw cool and the leaves turn color, the BBQ is as American as baseball and apple pie. Now you will have many a debate as to whether its pig or cow, spicy or sweet, rub or sauce, all based mostly upon where you and your guests were raised. The one conversation that is more complicated than many think is what beer you are going to have on the ice for all to enjoy before, during and after the smoke clears. Without a doubt there is a wide array to choose from and a big selection needed for all to enjoy the day. 

Here is a Six Pack List of local North and South Carolina brews that are sure to balance the bold, pique with the liveliest of flavors and liven up the lifeless.

Westbrook White Thai- this Belgian-style witbier from the South Carolina coast is perfect alone and holds up to the spiciest of ‘cue with its perfect balance of ginger and just the right hint of lemon grass    http://www.westbrookbrewing.com

NODA Coco Loco Porter- Easy drinking brew that is a delicious rich velvety porter with chocolate malts that has just a touch of sweet coconut balancing out the bitters. http://www.nodabrewing.com

   

Holy City Wash Out Wheat- not your typical orange peel coriander over hype. A clean crisp taste with a hint of banana, yes and that’s a good thing. This will be the perfect beer to have all afternoon.   http://www.holycitybrewing.com

Palmetto Maize to Black- a unique take on a schwarzbier. Malty dark beer with just the right hints of sweet corn with a touch of cayenne and a tinge of lime making this a perfect pairing for the smokiest of your brisket or butt.  http://www.palmettobrewery.com
