American Craft Beer Week continues pouring through Charleston this Thursday at 7 p.m. as Laura Alberts Tasteful Options puts on a Brooklyn Brewery beer dinner featuring its co-founder, Steve Hindy.

On the heels of a successful beer dinner with Dogfish Head's Sam Calagione, Laura Alberts Tasteful Options has secured another big name in craft beer for this one. Steve Hindy's previous gig was as an Associated Press reporter covering the Middle East. So naturally, his next career move was partner with ex-banker Tom Potter to start Brooklyn Brewery in 1987. Fast-forward 23 years and they are among the top 40 breweries in the U.S. (by production).
