2nd Annual Crawling with the Creeps

For the second year in a row, the Avondale neighborhood bar scene will host the wildest Halloween block party and costume contest west of the Ashley River and perhaps all of Charleston. While the actual costume contest presented by Southern Eagle beer distributors doesn't get underway at each bar until 9PM of Friday evening, even the most novice of trick-or-treaters know that the fun begins with the setting sun. This will be especially true at Mellow Mushroom where we will be tapping kegs of Widmer Okto and New Belgium Tour de Fall that will run all night for $4 pints. In addition to these two brews, we will be featuring 'taste the rainbow' menu of $1 Jello Shots as well as a few more bartender specials throughout the evening.

As always, we will have $5 Irish Car Bombs available for those looking to power their way into the evening, and from 4-7, our regular Happy Hour Specials will be available: $4 drafts, $3 House Liquors (Jim Beam, Svedka, Jaurez, Gordon's, and Cruzan), $4 Fireball, $4 Rumpleminz, $4 Goldschlager, and $0.50 wings).

We encourage everyone to have a great time but to remember to enjoy responsibly. If you need transportation, please ask your server or bartender to call you a cab as we would be more than happy to help you get home safely. 

More about the New Belgium Tour de Fall

New Belgium's Tour de Fall is the perfect balance between a hoppy pale ale and the malty, caramel flavors of fall. Like many pales, the beer starts of with a distinct bitterness but transitions into a malty middle to finish with a light, crisp hoppiness. This is the perfect beer to balance out the many malty ales that dominate fall and are certainly present through the cold winter months. Be sure to add this to your list while its available.

More about the Widmer Okto
The Widmer Okto Ale is brewed specifically for the Oktoberfest season. It has a maltiness and smooth caramel flavor. It is only 5.2% ABV, which means you can have a more than a few before your highly elaborate costume starts becoming overtly risque. Beer club aspirers w bready ill want to be sure to get one added to your list as it will no longer be available at Mellow (or anywhere) after this weekend.
