Revelry Brewing toasts 10-year milestone, decade of giving back with The Green Heart Project
September 18, 2024Revelry Brewing Company, Charleston’s award-winning brewer of craft beer and boisterous good times, celebrates 10 years of cultivating community since opening its Conroy Street brewery and tasting room in 2014.
“Revelry’s tenth anniversary is a meaningful achievement for our entire team,” says Revelry Brewing Partner Sean Fleming. “Our brand has grown significantly over the last decade, and we’re especially grateful to our loyal fans and partners who have contributed to Revelry’s continued longevity in the industry.”
What began as a homebrewing project now encompasses two area locations – the recently opened Revelry Brewing Folly Beach joins the bustling 4,000-square-foot downtown Charleston brewery – and a lineup of quality craft brews that have racked up dozens of awards from the U.S. Open Beer Championship, LA International Beer Competition and Best of Craft Beer Awards, among others.
Alongside its expanding footprint, Revelry is also toasting a decade of local impact through farm to school non-profit, The Green Heart Project. Since 2014, the partnership has generated more than $210,000 in ticket proceeds from Revelry’s annual Block Party, benefiting the organization’s garden-based experiential learning projects and school garden program. Last year alone, the event raised a landmark $21,000 in sponsorship donations. This total contribution has been foundational in growing The Green Heart Project’s outreach to 18 school garden locations currently operating across the Charleston area.
“We knew from the beginning that it was important for Revelry to contribute to something meaningful and close to home,” continues Fleming. “It’s an honor to partner with our friends at The Green Heart Project to make a lasting impact in kids’ lives while building community around locally grown food.”
Revelry Hosts 10-Year Party For A Purpose
Revelry Brewing’s 10th Anniversary Block Party will take place on Sunday, October 27th from 12 to 6 p.m. at 10 Conroy Street in the heart of the Charleston Brewery District. Revelers of the highly anticipated annual event can expect a full lineup of festivities, giveaways, music by DJ Sparkbox and tasty food pairings for Revelry’s award-winning brews, featuring Chef Michael Toscano and friends.
A highlight of the 2024 Block Party celebration, attendees will also experience a first look inside The Green Heart Project’s forthcoming Singleton Park Garden, located adjacent to Revelry Brewing. The garden serves as an outdoor classroom for students at Meeting Street Academy.
“It’s incredible to celebrate a decade of community support from the generous team at Revelry and the thousands of attendees who come out to this event every year,” says Jesse Blom, Executive Director of The Green Heart Project. “Revelry’s partnership has been instrumental in connecting students with their food, with their environment, and with their community through The Green Heart Project’s Farm to School programs.”
“We’re especially thrilled for Block Party goers and Revelry patrons to see their impact first-hand with the transformation of Singleton Park as our newest school garden.”
Revelry Brewing’s 10th Anniversary Block Party tickets are $10, available online at City Paper Tickets and for purchase at the door until the event reaches capacity. Children under 10 are free, along with canine friends. 100% of ticket sales will benefit The Green Heart Project’s Farm to School programs.
