Description

Idiosyncrasies abound in this country's state-by-state approach to booze regulation, and South Carolina is home to plenty of 'em. Which is why, in 2005, Jaime Tenny — who would go on to open North Charleston’s COAST Brewing Company with her husband, David Merritt — took a cue from craft brewing colleagues in North Carolina and started Pop the Cap SC, a grassroots organization bent on increasing the state's then-limit on beers' alcohol by volume. This is a wonky one, Taplines listener, a tale of scrappy outsiders making noise in the the provincial halls of power in the Deep South, all in the name of bigger, better, beer.
