Cameron Goes North: Pittsburgh, Day 1

Cameron Goes North: Pittsburgh, Day 1

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 – [...]

Cameron Goes North: A Weeklong Gastronomic Diary

Written by on 2013/04/01 in Craft Beer, Current Events with 0 Comments

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 [...]

Beer Buzz: Evil Twin Hipster Ale

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 [...]

I’ve been drinking beer in Greenville since, well, let’s just say my undergrad years at Clemson. I don’t really want to think about how long it’s been right now… That being said, I’ve witnessed incredible growth in the local beer scene in the last decade. After 2007′s Pop the Cap raised the legal alcohol limit, [...]

    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 [...]

Beer Buzz – Alewerks Brewing Co. Lands in Columbia

Williamsburg, Va. is a place I hold near and dear to my heart. I grew up 30 minutes from the birthplace of America and have dined on many an overpriced Busch Gardens pizza within its city limits. So naturally, I’m a staunch supporter of Billysburg’s offering to the world of craft beer – the Alewerks [...]

Well, almost. Summertime is (and has been) here. Hiking, biking, baseball and beer all come to mind. And what better way to enjoy a crispy cold one in the summer than from a can! As the craft beer scene grows, more and more breweries are canning their beers. When you want to get your drink on [...]

Charleston’s Beer Bible Part I

Written by on 2012/08/07 in Craft Beer, Local Beer Bible with 1 Comment

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 [...]

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 [...]
