And just like that, the 2014 Charleston Beer Week is about to come to an end. True to form, the festival will be going out with a bang – Saturday boasts six events stretched out over 13 hours.

The party gets started bright and early with the 9 am “Double Cask Breakfast” at the Homegrown Brewhouse in Summerville and will keep going strong with a late night event at Edmund’s Oast.

Many of the events will feature local beers, which is a great way to close out the week. Freehouse, COAST, and Holy City will be strongly represented, but it’s the Whole Hog BBQ at COAST that earns my pick-of-the-day. BBQed Pig and Beer – I mean, com on, what else do you need?

Don’t have the extra cash for that event? Many of Saturday’s event do not require a ticket, so make sure you enjoy at least one party before it’s too late!
