Miss A Columnist

Emily Meier is a recent transplant to Charleston. It became clear to her a few years ago that Charleston, with it’s amazing people, culture, and proximity to the water, had her by the heart. She realized this on the way back to Michigan after a visit with friends and she started to cry. She just didn’t want to leave Charleston. The lady at the airport gift shop thought she was crying about leaving a guy. When Emily realized she was crying about leaving a place, she knew she’d be back. A graduate of Denison University she also holds an MFA from Bennington. Currently, she teaches college English (writing and literature) and works as a freelance editor helping potential MBA and law school candidates prepare their essays. With friends and family all over the states, Emily enjoys traveling and is always up for a trip in support of a cause. If you have a Charleston charity or cultural event, restaurant, boutique, spa, or salon you would like covered on Miss A, please contact Emily at emilymeier@aol.com.

The SweetWater Music Festival came to Charleston and successfully capped off Charleston Craft Beer Week.  People of all ages turned out to enjoy the festival’s winning combination of sunshine, beer and live music.  The all day event featured popular national and regional bands. Two stages were set up in order to allow for uninterrupted live music.  The music lineup included Rehab, Drivin’ N Cryin’, Eddie Bush, Sourwood, The Piedmont Boys, Homemade Wine and The Blue Dogs.

The festival, hosted by SweetWater Brewing Company, took place at The Citadel’s Johnson Hagood Stadium. And while beer trucks and the SweetWater brewing company served up the beer, the bands provided the soundtrack to another perfect Charleston sunny day. Just one week after their 8th annual SweetWater 420Festival in Atlanta, SweetWater Brewery proved they are always ready to serve the thirsty with their friendly staff and great lineup of brews.
