Season 2 Episode 5: Brewery Profile - Jocassee Valley Brewing Company

South Carolina Beer Scouts

The beer scouts return to the Upstate to feature Jocassee Valley Brewing Company, one of the newest breweries in South Carolina, and for the moment, the only operating brewery in Oconee County! Jocassee Valley (also known as “JVBC” for short) just opened their taproom doors for business in May 2018, and offers an impressive selection of delicious craft beer paired with live music and tasty food trucks, all at a family-friendly venue in the scenic foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. As a bonus, Eric also picked up some cans of an outstanding amber lager from Arches Brewing, a lager-centric microbrewery from the south side of Atlanta. Along with discussing the virtues of half-pints and craft-brewed kombucha, Justin also gives us a lesson on the chemistry behind prison hooch (which for the record was not acquired through personal experience). Featuring: JVBC’s Amongst the Beers Red IPA, JVBC’s Lydie Mountain After Dark Black IPA, and Arches Brewing’s Southside Lager.
