Charleston Beer Fest Announces New Name, Location for 2019 Event

The Charleston Beer Fest will be held from noon to 7 pm on Saturday, May 18th, 2019, at Riverfront Park. Tickets will go on sale Feb. 1st, 2019, at www.CharlestonBeerFest.org with early-bird pricing for both general admission and the popular VIP tickets. Proceeds from Charleston Beer Fest benefit Palmetto Community Care in its work providing complete compassionate HIV care and prevention education awareness across the tri-county area.

“As we began searching for a new festival venue, we also realized it was a good time to change the name to Charleston Beer Fest,” Jason Kirk, director of development and marketing for Palmetto Community Care, said. “As this event grows in terms of number of attendees and our regional craft beer offerings, we felt ‘fest’ was more descriptive of the event focus and atmosphere. We are truly excited about what’s in store for 2019 and know local beer lovers will want to put May 18 on their calendars now.”

Toast the newly renamed Charleston Beer Fest at a Pint of Hope event benefiting Palmetto Community Care on Tuesday, October 16th. Come out to Frothy Beard Brewing Company from 5 pm to 8 pm when $1 from each pint sold will be donated to Palmetto Community Care. Attendees will have multiple chances to win free tickets to the 2019 event, pick up some freebies, try out a few Beer Games, and learn more about what is in store for Charleston Beer Fest.
