Ummm, hello again, Michael here. Well not actually here, as I'm not virtual or anything but I did want to let you know that I won't be at Elkmont today, so no end of the line growler fills today. But I will be at Elkmont all day on Saturday and would love to fill your growlers for only $6.

CRAFT BEER IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE and now that the bar is closed, I think it is time I let you in on a little secret. Lee doesn't drink much beer, so don't think for a minute that he will be able to finish off all these kegs...

The remaining wine is still available at 1/2 off but to be honest, Aimee can probably finish it all off, I mean she needs it to take the edge off when Lee posts dumb things like this post...😄

Happy Weekend!

Hello, my name is Michael and I am here to tell you how you can get really cheap craft beer. I work 9-5 pm Monday-Friday and am fully certified to fill growlers.

Until it is gone full growler fills for $6, including tax. Bring your own growler and caps because we are out. Just come into the store with your growler AND CAP and ask for me, again that's Michael.

Here is what is left on tap:

Highland Brewing Oatmeal Porter
Low Tide Aloha Beaches
Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing IPA
D9 Brewing Brown Sugar Brown Cow
Sierra Nevada Sunny Little Thing Hefeweizen
Sierra Nevada Wild Little Thing Sour

Come in today and load up for the weekend!!!

Let's break the internet! No, unfortunately I'm not announcing yet another last, last, last Tap & Cellar shift...

I'm just using the Elkmont social media platform to promote yet another interest of mine, German Shorthaired Pointers. These pups will be ready to go to their new homes next week.

This is our first posting since the litter announcement and we've already sold three. Four males are left and one female. Pups are located just outside of Clemson.

Email me at [email protected] for more information.

Don't forget that tonight and tomorrow are the LAST TWO SHIFTS at Elkmont Tap & Cellar. No really, we mean it this time! Its so over that Lee is actually coming in to pour beers tonight...

This is it, the Swan Song, Cinderella's last dance, the Caboose, the 3rd Encore, the Grand Finale, The OMEGA...

Come celebrate the last five years of awesomeness with us as we close one chapter and move on to the next chapter for Elkmont and Lee and Aimee.

Taps start pouring at 4pm...

How about one more pimento cheese plate...

Say so long to Clemson's most incredible club sandwich...

Arrivederci to the Upstate's best valued charcuterie board...

Have a tear in your $3 pint of craft beer in solemn acknowledgement of the passing of an icon...

Farewell to the "Best Day Ever" Brat...

Marvel one last time over the size of the XL pretzel & beer cheese...

Pine for and sate the desire for that Boar's Head London Broil sandwich one last time...

The list could go on and on, point is, we want you here!

Here we are a month after the original announcement and we find ourselves at the true end... Yes, with all the "cry wolf" announcements for last call, who really knows when the end is the end???

One person knows, that is me... Kicking kegs yesterday, here is what roughly remains:

Low Tide Aloha Beaches - 60 pints
NoDa Radio Haze IPA 1/3 - 40 pints
Bold Rock Hard Cider - 30 pints
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale - 30 pints
Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing IPA - 90 pints
D9 Brown Sugar Brown Cow - 30 pints
Sierra Nevada Sunny Little Thing Hefewiezen - 90 pints
Thomas Creek Red - 30 pints
Sierra Nevada Wild Little Thing Sour - 60 pints
Westbrook White Thai

This is not my fault! Elkmont Tap & Cellar is going to open Saturday from noon until 9pm. We had several customers message us about hours and then a long time customer who has been out of town with work reached out to us and let us know that he was coming back to town and would love one last time at Elkmont...

I spoke to the guys and they had mentioned being asked about Saturday as well and when they heard this customer was asking about hours for Saturday, they all volunteered. And that is the kind of place Elkmont Tap & Cellar is, it is special to so many in the community.

So to accomodate one of our most loyal customers, we are running the Saturday shift. Please come out and support us!

Thanks and have a great weekend!

Yes, this was our view last night as we neared our hotel. Yes, Aimee and I are out of town attending a tradeshow for the shop. Yes, the three Amigos - Tanner, Austin and Brady wanted to run a shift at the Tap & Cellar this weekend.

Here is where we are, we have 9 kegs left that are at least half full. We are out of a few food items but still have most items available with one small grocery run.

If the guys want to work, I say we let them work...

I don't want to shut down and have good inventory go to waste. The wine, Aimee will eventually drink; the food, Lem and I will eat...

But the BEER??? Well, even though I love a good citrus IPA, there's no way I can drink it all before it expires... So, we are letting the guys run a Friday shift this week 4-9pm.

As long as the shifts are profitable and we have decent inventory and the guys want to run them, we will run a shift. When one of those three things are no longer true, we will close, I promise.

It's trade show season, Lee and Aimee are on their way out of town for the Tailgate show in Las Vegas. Lee left his Facebook sign on open on his desktop here at the shop and we still have our keys to the Tap & Cellar...

If you were a staff member what would you do???

POWER OF THE PINT!

Here's a hint folks, it doesn't have to be an either or choice... However, if you haven't done you obligatory grocery store trip by now, the shelves are probably devoid of bread.

Here we find ourselves on the eve of the "Blizzard of 2022" and the time for preparing is nearly past. Revel in the knowledge that you are fully prepare OR cower in the fact that Jack Frost has your number and you just aren't ready... Either way, come in and celebrate the impending onslaught of wintry mix with one last hearty meal from Elkmont and a growler fill to accompany you through the cold dark wintry night comfortably snuggled up with your favorite person next to the fire.

Today we are open noon until 9pm for one last Hoorah! Next week all remaining beer will be available during store hours only for growler fills.

Thank you and be safe this weekend...

Yes, Floyd, I agree, seeing all the great beers left at Elkmont going into this weekend is worth a gratuitous lip smacking...

At some point one has to say "LAST CALL!" The farewell tour is officially over as this will be the last Friday and Saturday of full service at Elkmont Tap & Cellar. If needed, remaining beer will be sold for growler fills only during store hours.

It's been a fun run and we couldn't think of a better way to announce the end of the end than with a dog picture because research has shown that people love dogs and will SHARE, LOVE AND COMMENT on dog posts 53% more often than other posts in social media and WE NEED YOUR VIRAL HELP in getting this final announcement in front of as many people as possible...

Have a great weekend and FILL THOSE GROWLERS before the Blizzard of 2022 hits!!! Let's face it, if you are going to be snowed in, who would you rather have as your wheat companion, bread or beer???😉

01/13/2022

As a child I had no idea how prophetic this commercial would be. Yes, Mr. Owl, how many pints must be poured to finish off the kegs at Elkmont?

Remember folks, locally brewed craft beer is a terrible thing to waste... Crowd was light last night, especially with it as cold as it was. Hoping for better tonight!

Cold and rainy nights always meant good traffic at the Tap & Cellar. I don't guess it had anything to do with the ample parking just a few steps away from the tap room, do you? 😉

Want your establishment to be the top-listed Bar/pub in Clemson?

If you haven’t been to Elkmont...

Elkmont is a community gathering place that serves locally brewed craft beer, sustainable wine and great food. Elkmont features Boar’s Head meats, so we are an upscale deli with a the area’s best BBQ sandwich (Shhh!), a flavorful pizza with a unique smoky sweet tomato sauce (honey, bourbon barrel aged worcestershire and sun dried tomatos are just a few of the ingredients) and a charcuterie and cheese plate that is unequaled in the area...

With all the bars downtown, the collegiate crowd doesn’t tend to find us... The customers at Elkmont are from the greater Clemson community and we welcome well behave children. Elkmont is contributing to the rebirth of the community pub culture that craft beer has fostered. This is the comfortable place in town that is out of the way, a wee bit hidden but all the locals know about! The beer served is all locally brewed, not because we are craft beer snobs but because we like to support our neighbors. We own an outdoor store for goodness sakes so you know Lee is going to look out for ways to reduce his environmental impact. Local brews have a smaller carbon footprint because they travel less distance... Besides, we exist because folks like to buy locally! Well if that isn’t enough to convince you to stop in and check Elkmont out, then just remember what folks around here say ~ “If you haven't been to Elkmont, you haven't been to Clemson.”
