GREENVILLE, SC<\/strong> – Greenville is very cool with so much to do, well worth a visit to Hampton Station, an abandoned cotton warehouse in the water tower district located along the Swam Rabbit Trail, it has been revisioned into new urban indoor outdoor work play space for all to enjoy \u2013 there is a very relaxed vibe with some great food and beverage choices. www.hamptonstation.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

White Duck Taco<\/a> has a fun and interesting menu with great tacos and great adult beverages too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across from White Duck Taco<\/a> is Wandering Bard Meadery<\/a> \u2013 You can build your own flight so I tried 5
meads, all of which sucked except for the OIGRES, a mesquite honey mead with sage, which was oddly
good! These meads were light in flavor and perfumy and did not have that great authentic honey smell
or rich honey flavor, which in my opinion, is what mead is known for. I would skip the meadery and go
straight to Birds Fly South Brewery<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birds Fly South Ale Project<\/strong>
This is a cool farmhouse brewery with a ton of space for seating inside and outside, kids and dogs are
welcome. Live music on Saturdays, there was a really good solo guitarist that we really enjoyed. The
owners, Shawn and Lindsay Johnson who started as home brewers, have created an eclectic beer menu
with some very interesting blends that they refer to as \u201cwild and funky\u201d. This is not your standard beer
menu but pick one to try and you will be amazed. I was.
I tried \u201cFlowers for Brains Maibock\u201d which was refreshingly delicious; light and crisp with a floral note
that I can only describe as lavender. I can\u2019t wait to come back and try another BFS creation\u2026 these craft
beers are something special. www.bfsbeer.com<\/a>
Kudos also to the Johnsons for an excellent website and logo\u2026 Swallows are a sign of good luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s Talk Maibock!! <\/strong>Usually brewed in the spring \u201cMai\u201d is German for May and is similar to Helles Bock.
Maibock is brewed much like a lager yet heavier in hops but is not an IPA or ale. A Maibock has a warm
golden tint, less malty with a drier finish\u2026. served in a pilsner glass designed to sip slowly (if you can)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
