Head bartender Jayce McConnell of Edmund’s Oast will hit the road for a five city “Bitter and Then Some” Southern Road Tour to celebrate the third anniversary of the restaurant. He will also be touting the upcoming expansion of the soon-to-open brewery—Edmund’s Oast Brewing Co.—and the relocation, new name and focus of the retail wine and beer store—Edmund’s Oast Exchange. Patrons that attend the pop-ups on the tour can register-to-win dinner for two at Edmund’s Oast and a tour at the brewery to redeem next time they visit Charleston. One lucky person will be selected to win the prize.
Jayce will also be partnering with BevCon™, an industry-only beverage conference held in Charleston August 20-22, to promote plans for 2017’s event. Jayce serves on the national advisory board and was a founding member instrumental in creating the event. At each stop, beverage professionals can come and learn more about the event and register for a chance to win a free trip to Charleston to attend BevCon.
At each location, Jayce will be serving a special menu featuring some of his favorite cocktails from Edmund’s Oast. Stops include:
