Chucktown Brewdown Homebrew Festival Returns
James Island’s Fam’s Brewing Co. will be celebrating their 5th anniversary with the return of their homebrew festival, Chucktown Brewdown, on Saturday, April 23rd from 1 pm to 5 pm.
This year, 41 homebrewing teams comprised of 117 of the Lowcountry’s best homebrewers will create their favorite wheat beer for the public to sample. There will also be additional styles of beers for attendees to enjoy. Types of wheat beer being brewed are: American Wheat, Hefeweizen, Dunkelweizen, Weizenbock, Belgian Witbier, Fruit Wheat Beer, or Wheatwine.
Guests can drink and talk with the homebrewers, listen to live music, play games on the patio, eat some pizza, and enjoy a pint of Fam’s Brewing Co.’s 5th-anniversary wheat beer. Attendees will also get to select their favorite wheat beer. The homebrewing team with the most votes will win the coveted People’s Choice Award.
At the end of the festival, Fam’s Brewing Co. will be awarding the homebrewing team that the judging panel selected as the best wheat beer. The winning team will win several prizes, including the opportunity to join the head brewer to make their winning beer on Fam’s professional system.
