Stone Brewing Co. - MM Beer Club Week 5

Go home, Super Moon; you're drunk.

Now that the Sun's rays are creeping south toward the Tropic of Capricorn and the Super Moon wanes, lost to us is the innocence and temperance of spring. Summer is squarely upon the Holy City, and although many downtown bars are brimming with kolches, hefes, and summer wheats to appease the palettes of tourists and drive by beer drinkers, rest assured, ye ole timeless ale aficionados, the Mellow Mushroom Beer Club will remain a bastion for true beer drinkers' delight.

Summer is rife with poolside Bud Light Limes and shotgunned Natty Lights; coolers will inevitably overflow with malt liquor this and fruity flavored that, but when you find yourself on the edge, wondering much like Hunter S. Thompson, how you've gone over into a pit of crap beer despair, Mellow will be waiting with ambers, IPA's, Pales, Nut Browns, and even a Pluff Mud Porter to help pull you back up.

To kick the summer off in fashion, we are hosting representatives from the world renowned Stone Brewing Co. Not only has the brewery been named All Time Top Brewery (2008 & 2009) by Beer Advocate, but the company's philosophy is to only brew artisan beers, not yielding to whimsical pressure to produce any  "industrial adjunct beers" or "fizzy yellow beers" (credit stonebrewing.com). What they do produce are some of the most flavorful and well bodied ales in the industry. Utilizing only locally harvested ingredients without artificial ingredients or additives, each brew delivers an exceptional beer drinking experience.

The Happy Hour

We will get the happy hour event underway promptly at 6 sampling our way through some select growlers from Stone. From 6-8 Stone's Pale Ale will be $3, and we will have 22oz bottles of the 10th Anniversary Ruination, a 10.5% ABV Double IPA. For the first time ever in Mellow Mushroom Charleston Beer Club History... 2 customers will have the opportunity to share this beer and have it count toward each of their beer club quests.
