Kentucky Mist Distillery: A New Era Of Moonshine Comes To A New Era At Broadway

From the Appalachian Mountains to the Carolina coast, the smooth spirits of Kentucky Mist Distillery are now being poured at Broadway at the Beach! The new craft distillery boasts unique flavors of moonshine and vodka from today and yesteryear as it brings the heritage of Eastern Kentucky to Myrtle Beach.

The founding of Kentucky Mist dates back to the days of American Prohibition or as Kentucky Misters call it, the dark ages! Distilling corn liquor and bootlegging in the Appalachian Mountains in Whitesburg, Kentucky was the family business for Henry Holbrook. The history of Mr. Holbrook's Kentucky Mist has a few twists and turns and even includes the notorious, Al Capone. To read about it, click here.

So from the "dark ages" to today's new generation of moonshiners, Colin Fultz, Henry Holbrook's Grandson has taken over the family business and recently opened a brand new store at Broadway.


It's not all about the moonshine, but also their award winning vodka! In fact, their 1902 Whitesburg Vodka is the only barrel vodka in the United States, winning a gold medal at the 2017 Sip Awards! Talk about a prestigious pour!


Now when it comes to the variety of moonshine, the sweet fruity sky is the limit as flavors include Apple Pie, Caramel Apple, and infusions featuring blackberry, cherry, cranberry, grape, peach and lemonade.

Not sure which one you want to take home? They can help you decide as you sample the moonshine sweetness. For just $5, you can sample six half oz. shots. Of course, you will have to be 21 years of age to sample and purchase!

Along with your beverage of choice, you can also take home a Kentucky Mist shirt, mug, coozie, sweet treats and more!



So join Broadway at the Beach as we welcome this new distillery, where you can taste the history, heritage and the home of Kentucky Mist Moonshine!

Sweet Lessons Of Taffy Making At River Street Sweets

Posted in Broadway at the Beach, Featured Posts

We came, we saw and we sampled! A recent visit to River Street Sweets not only tempted our sweet tooth, but we learned a thing or two about the art of taffy making from a man who has been creating the sweet treat for nearly two decades!

Candy creator Jorge has been making the sweet stuff for more than 18 years creating the candy classics we love including taffy, caramel, brittle and of course River Street Sweets' world famous pralines!

Bringing his talents all the way from the original River Street Sweets in Savannah, Georgia, Jorge is teaching new team members at their location at Broadway at the Beach and that's what we came to see!

We do have a disclaimer and are sweetly ashamed to admit, when walking in the door, we were immediately (but deliciously) distracted by the freshly made pralines, causing us to be a little late to the taffy lesson. So we will have to fast forward through the first steps of making the taffy base of top secret ingredients! Next time, we will try not to be so delightfully distracted, but can't make any promises.

Once the taffy base is ready, it is ready for the pully! This machine allows the taffy to aerate as Jorge and his team color and flavor the taffy. On this visit, coconut was the flavor of choice!



We learned the pully is used because of the constant turning motion that helps blend and mix the flavor and color so it is spread throughout the entire taffy mix.

Now that the taffy is fully pulled, we are ready for the last step, the wrapping machine. To see this in action, check out this video!

Sweet side note: This particular wrapping machine is 104 years old. Yes, 104 years old!

At this point, the taffy is stretched in to the machine where it is cut, separated and wrapped. After that it is time to enjoy! And we did just that! In fact the fresh taste of coconut may be our new favorite flavor! But then again, any freshly made taffy flavor is likely to be our favorite including banana, peppermint, cinnamon, bubble gum and the list goes on... and on.. and on!


So as our taffy making lesson wrapped up…


We sank our teeth into this classic coastal favorite as you will want to do on your next visit to River Street Sweets at Broadway at the Beach!

A night out is the perfect way to celebrate all those cold nights in of winter 2018!

Let’s Eat! Liberty Brewery & Grill

She stands tall right outside the front door. She guides you to delicious foods and cold brews. She's there for lunch, dinner and those happy hours in between. She's Lady Liberty and she's the perfect host for when you're hungry at Liberty Brewery & Grill at Broadway at the Beach!

We recently took our taste buds on a lunch tour of deliciousness and we enjoyed every nibble, nosh and nip!

First things first, the appetizers! Let us repeat, APPETIZERS!

From tommy cheese fries, baked pretzels, cracklin' chicken tenders and hot bacon & onion cheese dip to other mouth-watering creations, you can fill up on nothing but appetizers and be completely content! (Trust us, we almost did, but for the sake of this blog, our palate pressed on!)

Now on to the main event!

Time and time again, the wide variety of options on the menu at Liberty Brewery never cease to amaze, but somehow we were able to narrow it down to our favorite got-to lunch loves, pizza and burgers! The Certified Angus Beef burgers are always a juicy, tasty, make your tongue start salivating choice! We love every single bite of them. Every. Single. Bite. Oh and the pizza? Liberty's freshly made pizza pies play second fiddle to no one! The slices of warm crust, tomato sauce, hot melty cheese and toppings; we may have been in Myrtle Beach, but our taste buds took a trip to little Italy! As you can tell, we share the same amount of love and affection for the pizzas as we do for the burgers, well actually everything on the menu!

At this point, we were completely filled to our belly brim. Yes, we stuffed ourselves with so much savory goodness! So unfortunately, with this trip we didn't partake in any desserts at the table, including triple layer chocolate cake, New York cheesecake and Key Lime Pie! But no worries, that's what to-go boxes are for, so we ordered a sweet treat to take with us! However, it didn't last long as we devoured it just an hour later!

Now you see why it was so hard to say no! However, there is always next time and that's exactly what we're planning for during our next tasty trip to see Lady Liberty as we enjoy Liberty Brewery & Grill at Broadway at the Beach!
