Are you a craft beer connoisseur? Hilton Head Island has two new breweries that have come to town, and we've heard great things about both.
Side Hustle Beer Co.
Located on Arrow Road, you can always find people sitting on the picnic tables out front or playing cornhole. They are the smallest craft brewery in South Carolina, but don't let that fool you. Small but large in variety and taste. Click here to visit their FaceBook page.
Lincoln & South Brewing
This brewery is tucked away in a warehouse on Island Drive off of Mathews. They did a great job with the building design. I love the window garage door that can be rolled up or down. If you like sour beer, try one of theirs! They have a Grand Opening planned for Aug. 6 and 7th with…

The Burnt Church Distillery Concert Series continues this weekend with the Rat Pack Revue.
The concert will take place in the distillery from 4-7pm. Tickets are $10 per person and benefit SOAR Special Recreation.
This is such a great venue. The atmosphere is amazing and so beautiful. I could stay in there for hours and just look around. The bottles, the labels, the windows, the brick....it is all stunning. Enjoy a cocktail (or two!) and listen to the talented Rat Pack Revue.

Bottle trees are one of the many unique sights in the South. You'll spot them in areas that make up the old South, particularly in states like Georgia, Mississippi, the Carolinas, and Virginia.
As a Southern tradition, bottle trees are always made from blue glass bottles (these could be wine or beer bottles) one saves over the course of several years. The bottles are placed over the branches of a dead tree or rod that stick upright out of the ground.
Today, you will find bottle trees in gardens across North America, mainly because of their unique beauty. You can even find them in garden shows around the world.
People have been creating these trees in Southern states for hundreds of years. However, their history dates back much further in…

Have you heard about the newest fresh food gourmet markets to come to both Hilton Head and Bluffton? We've visited them both and they both have delicious foods and their presentation is grand.

What I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE is that all of their food is locally grown and made. They are supporting local farmers and fishermen. The produce is stunning, and as I entered the building I could smell the local peaches that were waiting for me to buy! The cheese selection is killer, and the…
