The title of the post was the excited response from Grapevine (1012 Market Street, Baxter Village) when I emailed to inquire as to whether Brewtopia, the beerfest scheduled to take place in their parking lot tomorrow afternoon, would still take place even if it rained. The Town of Clover may have postponed their weekend events, but it looks like beer aplenty will be available all afternoon tomorrow.

They have confirmed that they will have 80 beers for tasting, in addition to music and other festivities. Feel free to visit Grapevine’s website for more info. Advanced tickets are $20, otherwise it’s $25 at the door.

With a name like “Grapevine,” you probably thought that the Baxter Village wineshop only sold wine. You’d be wrong! They also sell many varieties of beer, and are hosting a beer festival (60+ varieties of beer!) on March 14, 2009 in conjunction with the Barracuda Fun Run and the Baxter Spring Fest. The event is also a fundraiser, with $1 from every entry ticket purchased going to a charity called “Pints for Prostrates.” Besides the beer they’ll have live music and BBQ (I’m SO there just for the BBQ alone!).

Tickets are on sale now for $20. Wait until the day of the festival and it’ll cost you $25 to get in. If you like beer, we think you should consider getting your ticket early!

For more info, call ((803) 802-9989) or stop by Grapevine (1012 Market Street, Baxter Village), or you can always visit the “Shake Your Shamrocks” website for details.
