BEERCATION 2022 – BIG TUNA RESTAURANT & BAR – SOUTH CAROLINA

Hoppy visited the Big Tuna Restaurant & Bar aka Old Fish House at the boardwalk in Georgetown, SC. Here he dined on a Flounder while sipping a Huger Street IPA from Palmetto Brewing in Charleston. Palmetto describes it as Chinook and Cascade hops coming together to provide the aroma and flavor of subtle citrus and a variety of caramel malts which keep things balanced with a subtle, simple sweetness the likes of which you can only find in the South. It is 7.2% ABV; 58 IBU

BEERCATION 2022 – INLET BEER GARDEN – SOUTH CAROLINA

A visit to Murrells Inlet would not have been complete without Hoppy stopping at the Inlet Beer Garden nestled outdoors, between the Dead Dog Saloon and the Claw House, on the Marshwalk. Here he enjoyed trying a couple of pints from the sixty plus craft beers that they have available.
