Craft Beer
The lowdown on the local beer buzz.
After a seven-and-a-half hour drive from Virginia to Pennsylvania that was only supposed to take six and a marginally good night’s sleep, I woke up in Pittsburgh to see snow falling on my friend Bobby’s deck. Sorry, shorts I foolishly packed. It’s not going to be your week. The snow could’ve gotten us down – [...]
While driving home to Virginia this Friday, I learned I would be leaving the ranks of the unemployed nine days later. In the midst of my excitement, I realized I had the perfect opportunity for one last blowout as a slacker – a weeklong road trip up north to visit friends, eat delicious sandwiches, drink [...]
Friends and I used to play the evil twin game in which we would try to spot each others’ look-alikes. Inevitably someone would come running across the bar announcing that he had found my doppelganger. Because of the negative connotation the word doppelganger typically possesses, we would try to escape blame for being the evil [...]
Science has always been a challenge to me. Especially the ideas surrounding black holes, spacetime, general relativity, gravity fields, quantum mechanics, (at this point I’m just throwing out words I’ve heard while flipping quickly past the Discovery channel), etc. To be honest, general biology is challenging enough– just figuring out how to keep [...]

So naturally, I’m a staunch supporter of Billysburg’s offering to the world of craft beer – the Alewerks [...]
Although I am currently a resident of the city that is so endearingly titled “Famously Hot,” I recently transplanted from Charleston. After finishing undergraduate there, I even stuck it out through graduate school hoping that would validate my decision to stay in Neverland another few years. All that to say, I learned in school a [...]
Not often is a museum the place to be on a Friday night, but this week is a notable exception as the popular Arts & Draughts series returns to the Columbia Museum of Art, from 7 p.m. to midnight. Shannon Burke, the museum’s Public Programs Coordinator, started the event as an effort to highlight a [...]
I knew this day would come. Music and beer are intertwined in a harmony so perfect, it rivals some of history’s greatest pairs: Turner and Hooch, Thelma and Louise, Tom and Jerry – even Chan and Tucker. It makes perfect sense for Scene SC to finally get in on the beer writing game and I’m honored [...]
