– Missed this a few weeks back, but a fire at Swig & Swine West Ashley in Charleston caused it to close for a few weeks; as of this post it was scheduled to open by now but no word on whether it has yet
– Archibald’s in Northport, AL recently had a fire as well but is fine
– Heading to the NC State Fair this month? For the first time you can try beer and wine, including Birdsong
