Malty Hops = Beer and Beer Culture
Here's something that didn't fit into my new column on New South Brewing's upcoming brewery tours:
New South now sells six packs of its canned White Ale in 50 places around the Grand Strand, owner Dave Epstein said.
The brewery is pushing out 60 to 70 cases per week of the White Ale, which was already New South's most popular beer before they started canning it last year.
For now, White Ale is the brewery's only canned beer. Their other beers are sold in kegs to bars and restaurants.
Did you know New South uses a canning machine that was once used to package Dale's Pale Ale?

On campus today, I opened the door to exit a CCU restroom. The handle came off in pieces that scattered on the floor.
The door closed.
I couldn't re-open the door.
I wondered how long I would have to wait before someone else would have to go to the toilet, so I might be liberated from the restroom.
Eventually, I rigged the handle to work well enough to open the door.
I escaped the restroom.
I went to my office and sat at my computer. I wondered if someone else might be experiencing the same thing I just went through.
I called the Facilities phone number.
With a very friendly voice, the lady on the other end advised me with a few bureaucratic phrases.
I thanked her and hung up.
I still have no idea what she said.
If you're presently stuck in the restroom, I'm really sorry.
After waiting at least 5 minutes that feel like 15 in a three-person line at the Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin-Robbins on U.S. 501, where four people are behind the counter, I ask for the Turkey, Cheddar, & Bacon flat bread combo with coffee.
The sign says, Anytime Combos, with small iced tea or iced coffee, $5.39.
I asked for the combo with coffee. I didn't say "iced." She doesn't ask me for clarification.
She says she needs to check if they have any Turkey, Cheddar, & Bacon
About three minutes later, she returns to say they have Ham & Swiss or Three Cheese ("Grilled" on the sign, actually) flat bread available.
She doesn't say they are out of Turkey, Cheddar, & Bacon. She says they have Ham & Swiss or Three Cheese ("Grilled" on the sign).
I say Ham & Swiss.
She gets my coffee, a hot coffee.
I still think I'm getting the combo for $5.39.
Another three minutes. My food is brought to the counter and placed in a brown paper bag.
She rings me up for $3.99 plus $1.69 for the coffee: $5.68, plus 60 cents for our politicians to play with, bringing the total to $6.28.
I look confused. The combo price is $5.39. I point out that the combo says it comes with a small iced tea or iced coffee. She says the coffee doesn't equal an iced tea.
She doesn't mention, as the sign does, iced coffee, which might stand a chance of being equal to a hot coffee. She just mentions iced tea.
Had she told me that hot coffee costs more when I order the combo? No.
I point out that I ordered the combo. She gives me the receipt and tells me I can look at how the price is broken down.
I ignore the tip jar.
Apparently so.
