The newly founded Columbia Craft Brewery Co.<\/a> prepared two spring seasonal beers to go on draft in their taproom prior to the World Beer Festival in February \u2014 The Alien Hat Watermelon Sour and the Mad Skrilla Double IPA.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully we can create a couple flagships that will stand out that people will latch on to and enjoy,\u201d co-owner Andrew Strauss said prior to the event.\u00a0 \u201cWe just wanted to bring a clean new style here to concentrate on Sours and IPA\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

Columbia Craft showcased three different beers including a Lager, an IPA and a Belgian Golden Strong Ale at the festival last weekend.\u00a0 Strauss expected their hoppy beer to be a hit after how quickly the brewery went through its first batch of its flagship India Pale Ale.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ran out of the Famously Hop IPA,” he said. “So we were excited about that and we\u2019re going to make more for the event.\u201d<\/p>\n

The World Beer Festival is the third event that Columbia Craft has participated in since opening in November.<\/p>\n

Each event has proven to be beneficial for the newly founded brewery.\u00a0 Strauss said after the Craft and Draft event in January,<\/strong> the owners saw an increase in the number of people that came to the micro-brewery.\u00a0 Strauss believes going to these festivals increases the company’s visibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to try and do as many events as possible,\u201d said Strauss.\u00a0 \u201cWe were more concerned that these events would take away people, but we haven\u2019t been affected negatively\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with creating signature beers, Strauss emphasized that their location plays a big factor in helping them expand their brand.\u00a0 Located on Greene Street near the Vista, Columbia Craft receives lots of traffic on weekends, especially with events occurring at the\u00a0Colonial Life Arena regularly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe looked over at the Fairgrounds for a location, but we wanted to be in an area where we could grow and expand in an area with a lot of walking traffic,\u201d Strauss said.<\/p>\n

The sponsor of the festival, KW Beverage, divided the 80 breweries in attendance into five \u201cneighborhoods\u201d based on their location: South Carolina, Southeast, National, International and Cider.<\/p>\n

Columbia Craft was located in the South Carolina neighborhood at the World Beer Festival along with other Columbia breweries; Cottontown Brew Labs, River Rat Brewery, Twisted Spur Brewing, Swamp Cabbage Brewery and Conquest Brewing Co.<\/p>\n
