The Craft Beer All Star Showdown lets City Paper readers choose between two Charleston beers in our weeklong showdown. Check out the full bracket below. Today we’re deciding the WINNER of our Craft Beer Showdown!. The final match-up is Revelry’s Funkmaster Brett vs. Coast’s 32/50 kolsch. Voting for this match-up ends at 9 p.m. TODAY.
Funkmaster Brett & The Furious Hops by Revelry
American IPA, 7% ABV
Revelry’s Funkmaster Brett & The Furious Hops has fans calling it “so funkin good.” The reason? It’s a smooth brew with a slightly bitter finish. It’s a 100 percent Brett IPA, meaning it’s fermented with Brettanomyces, a wild, non-spore forming yeast. This yeast makes beer funky — thus the name and the resulting fruit flavors of pineapple and lychee.
32/50 Kolsch by Coast
4.8% ABV
Carbonation meets creaminess in this year-round COAST brew. This easy sipper imparts honey and light malt flavors as well as the taste of earthy hops, but it finishes dry.
