Yes! The Charleston Beer Exchange will have a soft opening this Saturday, November 15. I believe hours that day are 11-9. I’m told it is a soft opening because they are still getting inventory in so it won’t be fully stocked, but what they have is stellar, so go!
They are located downtown, behind the Old Provost Dungeon, on Exchange St.
Ballard had a nice little review of the Avery dinner in the City Paper:

It really was a fabulous dinner, pairings worked well and the beers were a plenty. I’m a cheap ass but this was well worth the $65, I’d do it again anytime. Props to Palmer at Chai’s for putting it all together and helping with the Charleston craft beer scene.
Get ready for one of the best beer dinners Charleston has ever seen. It is a 6 course dinner with two Avery beers for each course. Adam Avery will be at the dinner to talk about all the beers and answer any questions. I will post the menu later today. There are limited spaces available for this dinner. Don’t miss out on this event! Chai’s is still stuck in the approval queue for BA destinations, so this is the only forum on BA I can post. Here is the contact info for reservations. Hope to see you there.
