  Alcohol Ban on Folly Beach: Bad or GOOD for Business July 21st, 2009 Posted by Hunter Wilson

  

  After a Fourth of July celebration weekend left tons of trash (literally) all over Folly Beach, local officials are considering a ban on alcohol. In a coming council meeting set for July 28th, Mayor Beckmann of Folly will bring up the possibility of a ban on alcohol.

  Trash left on the beach and in the streets around Folly is an obvious eyesore as well has a hazard for the environment. All it would take is an unusually high tide or a common downpour and all that trash could end up in our waterways and ocean. Not good.

  Does that mean a ban on alcohol on Folly is the answer? What would a ban on alcohol mean for the people visiting Folly? How will that affect the businesses on Folly Beach?

  Folly Beach is the only beach in the area that allows alcohol on the beach. Shannon, a bartender at Blu, located at the Holiday Inn on Folly, said “I doubt it will change people’s mind about coming to the beach. If people want to drink they can walk right up to the bar at Blu and grab a beer or shot real quick. Business would immediately increase for Blu if the ban was passed.”

  Long story short, the ban would change the atmosphere on Folly Beach… What are your thoughts? Post your comments below and lets see what people really think.

  75 Year Anniversary: Toast To The End Of Prohibition December 5th, 2008 Posted by Hunter Wilson

  Prohibition was in effect from 1920-1933 when the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution made it illegal to sell, manufacture or transport alcoholic beverages.  Of course there were ways to get alcoholic beverages if the need be -  bootleggers transported the alcohol illegally and consumption was often at speakeasies that were controlled by the likes of Al Capone. On December 5, 1933, Utah became the thirty-sixth and deciding state to ratify the 21st Amendment, ending Prohibition and making it legal for us to transport, buy and consume alcoholic beverages. December 5th, 2008 (Repeal Day) marks the 75th anniversary of the Repeal of Prohibition - if you’re imbibing this day you might want to raise a glass and celebrate. Cheers!

  Johnnie Walker Scotch Pairing Dinner: This Isn’t Your Grandfather’s Scotch Charleston, SC. November 20, 2008â""Tired of Charleston restaurants hosting beer and wine pairing dinners; the owners of Mellow Mushroom decided to host a Johnnie Walker Pairing Dinner on Dec. 4, 2008 at 7p.m.   According to Roxanne Burkett, a Diageo Portfolio Ambassador and expert of the Johnnie Walker product, this will be one of the first scotch pairing dinners held in South Carolina.              The dinner will consist of a five course meal in which Ms. Burkett will explain the complexities of the scotch and point out how Johnnie Walker compliments the meal that executive chef Greg Fowler has prepared for the evening.             The dinner will be open to the general public, as well as Mellow Mushroom’s 100 and 200 beer club members.  Tickets will cost $45 for single general admission, or $75 per couple.  One Hundred Beer Club Members will have to pay $23, and 200 Beer Club members will get in free.   Space is limited so guests are asked to R.S.V.P. no later than Monday Dec. 1, 2008 at 5p.m. if one wishes to attend. Below is a copy of the menu the executive chef and kitchen manager Greg Fowler has created for the event:  Johnnie Walker Red Brie stuffed pastry puffs with scotch soaked berries and almonds served on a bed of field greens. Johnnie Walker Green BBQ Chilean sea bass topped with a mango pineapple salsa served with a mushroom risotto. Johnnie Walker Black Smoked chipotle steak served with garlic sautéed spinach. Johnnie Walker Gold Dark chocolate toffee bark slab served with fresh strawberries. Johnnie Walker Blue Snifter for dessert.
