*VERY IMPORTANT* 2^nd Presbyterian has granted us the rights to use their property.  We spent weeks working with them on how we could pull this off.  A very important caveat to their allowing us use is that NO ALCOHOL IS ALLOWED ON THEIR PROPERTY.   See the map for details.  Basically the bluestone walks in front of the Church and the portico (Stage) are sacred ground.  People and speakers are allowed to congregate here, but may not transport or consume any alcohol on the Church property.  This is a very serious condition of our use.  Please, please, please help us to uphold this request.  Guests who violate this condition will be escorted off premises by our hired Police Officers. But, those standing/sitting a little farther back in Wragg Sq., and not on Church property, can still see/hear the speakers and enjoy their adult beverage. Thank you.

Chris Winn is a Charleston resident after a 15 year stint in Colorado, and an early run in Hawaii.  After moving here with New Belgium Brewery as a Beer Ranger, he is now the marketing, sales, social media, and philanthropy director at Palmetto Brewing Company.

He is a self proclaimed Jack (ass) of all trades, master of none who has consistently found ways to intertwine work and play much like the DNA double helix.  He is adamant that “consumer” is a terrible label, and marketing can be more meaningful than the sheep to slaughter model of corporate enterprise.

He likes long walks in the beach, sushi, hot tubbing, and beer.  He’s a nice guy who likes bikes.
