Brewvival is a beer festival that was put on by the Coast brewing company in North Charleston. The festival featured around 24 breweries, food, and music! Josh, myself, and a number of our friends headed up to the festival. I am not a big drinker, so I only took a few sips here and there, but enjoyed the cool, laid back vibe of the festival and some of the food. I also played the supportive role of DD ;). Here are some pictures from the event. Goat cheese samples at one of the Coast booths:
One of the most delicious brews, Meph Addict, tasted like coffee:

Such a fun day! We went out for some dinner afterwards and plan to spend the rest of the night relaxing. What did you do today?
Keep the ask me anything questions coming! Here are some of the Q&As so far:
What blogs are must-reads for you?
It varies a little day to day, but I almost always read Carrots N Cake, Aggie's Kitchen, HEAB, How Sweet It Is, Julie Go Lean, K's Good Eats, Krista's Kravings, No Meat Athlete, Rhodey Girl Tests, Suite Apple Pie, The Fitnessista, Two Peas and Their Pod, Yogurt and Berries..I could go on and on!
Who is your favorite housewife of all time?
Oh gosh! A very important question! I like Teresa from NJ. HILARIOUS!
What's your best advice for healthy weight loss?
Great question! Healthy weight loss is all about healthy habits. Consistency in exercise and eating a little bit of everything in moderation. Find a form of exercise that you actually enjoy!!! You will never stick to a workout routine if you hate it. And there are no miracle diets!
Do you ever have slip ups with your healthy lifestyle? or is it easy just to say no to junk sometimes, do you have lots of will power in that category? ha-sorry over flow of questions!
Hello :) Sure! Everyone has slip ups! As I have grown more and more to appreciate a healthy lifestyle, I think my slip ups occur less often. However, I think its healthy and necessary to have a good treat every once in a while! I don't consider those treats slip ups. I also try to find ways to enjoy traditionally unhealthy dishes in a healthier way (aka baked sweet potato "fries"). To be honest though, I do have a good amount of will when it comes to junky foods. I usually try to think about how I will feel after I eat it and that deters me from falling into the junk trap! Hope that helps.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

I LOVE beer so I would have really enjoyed going to that festival. Looks like you guys had a great time! My Saturday has been uneventful, but I am using the time to do some much needed housework. :) Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
sounds like a fund day! we have been a bit lazy today but did hit up the farmers market and did some chores. still lots of people without power, including some friends who are making use of our guest room.
Looks like a fun time! Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Josh went snowboarding today so I went running and did some cooking/baking. It was a good day!
Oh and thanks for the shout out. I love reading your blog too:)
How nice of you to be DD! I love the Q+A! Great answers!
I might give beer another chance if I could find some with names like those! What a fun sounding way to spend the day!
Thanks for the shoutout! I'm tickled pink that you like to read my posts everyday....

That beer festival looks like fun. Beer festival = sure sign that Spring is on the way! Yes!
OMG so much fun..beer fests are always the best!!
Thank you so much for your comment, although Im takin a break, Ill be keeping up with your blog.. I always enjoy it :):)
The beer fest looks so fun! Your weekends seem to always be a good mix of fun and productivity! I agree with you that the more you appreciate having a healthy lifestyle the easier it is to pass up "junk" food/poor choices. Once you realize how GOOD you can feel from being healthy, you don't WANT to put crap in your body!
Wow! that bun looks huge for some reason- was it really big or just a normal size hamburger bun ?
looks like you had a great time!
Looks like you guys had so much fun at the beer festival! So sweet of you to be the DD.
Wow you're going to Jamaica, that's going to be so much fun! I've only been there once like 10 years ago, but it would be fun to go back now that I'm an adult. We're going to Lake Chelan, which is here in Washington. We haven't really figured it all out yet but we'll probably at least go hiking and snowboarding a couple days. It'll be nice to get away.
I am not a fan of beer at all, but I still like to go to festivals to see all there is to see and just hang out with everyone--looks like you had a ball! Btw, the Q&A is so fun to read! :-)
that looks like SOO much fun girl!! i am so jelous!! i dont like beer-haha but the environment sounds great!

Haha! Love the name brewvival! ;) Looks like so much fun!! :)
That looks so fun, I LOVE festivals like that! I don't like or drink beer, but I'd go anyway.
You are too kind, thank you for mentioning me. You are on my daily rotation as well :-)
I love beer festivals! Used to go all the time, we should pick that habit back up!
A beer that tastes like coffee??? Sign me up! And I love the one named Sexual Chocolate (love Coming to America). That festival looks so much fun
Chyeahhh for brew! Love that there's a beer called "Sexual Chocolate" because, let's be real, chocolate IS pretty sexual. The coffee flava really intrigues me though... Sounds like you guys had a blast and your pics are adorb!
The festival looks like so much fun - goat cheese samples! :O
Have a great Sunday! :)
Thanks for the shout-out!!
Have a great week!

Haha- the height differences in the pictures cracked me up! You and Mandy are so petite, and your guys are both so tall! Sounds like a fun day... I'm like you- not crazy about beer, but it still sounded like a fun festival!
That sounds like such a fun day! Hope you had a great weekend!
Beer festivals are such fun! coffee beer sounds like my kind of thing. I am intrigued by the chocolate beer I saw recently...
Happy Monday!
What a fun day! I wish they'd have more festivals near where I live. I just love the laid back vibe and sense of community you get from it!
I agree - Theresa is hilarious!!
hahaha I love teresa too! she has such a mouth on her and I love it! also a big fan of bethanny...she is just great!
that brewrival looks so fun!! you and josh are so cute..glad you had a nice time and great weekend!
Tastes like coffee?! I'm sold! What a fun event and how sweet of you to play DD.
Haha to the sexual chocolate - I have a funny story that that drink reminded me of! Thanks for the sweet shout out. I never (well at least I try to never) miss and Itzy's Kitchen post!! Hmm...wonder who asked that Housewife question... ;) I have to agree though Theresa is one of my favs!! Prostitution whor-ah!
This looks like so much fun! I wish we had things like that here that were in the open air and not just at bars.
Have a great week, Erica!
well hello
I just stunmbled across your blog and see you are in the charleston area. Let me just say I LOVE Charleston and have been visiting there for the last 16 years! How lucky you are to live in the area!!! I see you just posted about coast brewing I was just telling my husband we have to try this place this june! too wild ! anywho just wanted to pop in and say say hello. :-) if you are interested you can check out my blog www.bella-fleur.blogspot.com. I post a little bit of everything on there!
Sherry~
The pulled pork and pickles sandwich looks A-mazing. I want this for lunch today!
What a fun festival! Can't WAIT until it gets warm enough here for them.
I love your outlook on slip ups. I completely agree - life is too short to go completely without them! I have found sometimes it's best to "just say no" so one treat doesn't turn into, say, ten. :-)
You and your hubby are do adorable!
Man if I knew about that I would have driven myself out there! That looks like such a fun time!
Thanks for the shout out! You just read to see pics of Murphy, right? :)
Looks like such a fun beer festival!
