Is today the day the rain finally stops? It seems like it might be. And once it does, boy, are you going to need to go out and enjoy a beer. If the weather forecasters are to be trusted, the weekend is shaping up to be gorgeous. So here are some ideas for getting your fill of hops and malts while finally soaking up some sunshine.

THURSDAY

Charleston Beer Runners has set up a 3.66 mile run from Hampton Park to Charles Towne Fermentory. The event is sponsored by Lowcountry Craft Distribution, and all runners will get their first beer for free. Momo Gastrotruck will also be there for participants to refuel upon arrival at the brewery.

FRIDAY

2Nixons, the area’s favorite ramen and yakitori pop-up, will be on-site at Two Blokes Brewing beginning at 5 p.m. At 4 p.m., the brewery will be tapping a special “ludicrous hopped” cask of Drone, its 7 percent ABV honey rye IPA.

Enjoying live music outdoors with some delicious organic beer seems like a pretty good way to celebrate the rain finally going away. Freehouse Brewery will have The Green Thieves playing on the deck starting at 6 p.m. And if you missed it, the brewery has some very exciting plans for the future.

SATURDAY
