Wednesday is Day 4 of the seven-day Charleston Beer Week celebration. It’s the midway point, so if you haven’t attended an event, now is the time! There are six chances for you to enjoy some craft beers and more!

There will be plenty of local brews to try, but Wednesday has offerings from across the U.S. From Charleston to Michigan to California – everyone will be able to try something new.

My pick of the day is definitely the Craft Beer Double Feature at Cinebarre. Unfortunately for you, the event is SOLD OUT. You snooze, you lose. Thankfully, the other events are not sold out…yet. If required, get your tickets NOW.

If you weren’t lucky enough to score tickets to the Double Feature event, I think you should stop Jolly Pumpkin Night at Revelry Brewing. Besides getting a good look at one of the area’s newest breweries, you’ll also have the chance to sample some rare beers from Dexter, Michigan’s Jolly Pumpkin.
