The 10 Best Breweries in Coastal South Carolina, Coastal South Carolina

July 24, 2021 Hector Krause

Miles of white sand and romantic island resorts beckon from the hem of the Palmetto State. Families gravitate to Myrtle Beach and the 60-mile span of Grand Strand, where over 100 championship golf courses, tennis courts and nightclubs await. Charleston’s hundreds of heritage buildings, and irresistible charm, are part of its allure. Beach resorts at Kiawah Island, Seabrook and Edisto Island make for romantic getaways. Marshes, moss-bearded palms and oak groves create ambiance in the haunting Lowcountry.

They had bar food available but I just sampled the beer. I am a certified beer judge & home brewer. All beers were well made and the server was quite knowledgeable. THEY DID NOT OFFER FLIGHTS. This was disappointing as I would have liked to try more beers. They did have 6 oz pours but that was more beer than I wanted.

Charles Towne Fermentory

Reviewed By kipandpaula - Lititz, United States

We checked to see what breweries are in Charleston and then checked their beer ratings on untapped. After seeing their high ratings we knew we had to visit. We met Adam the brew-master and were blown away by his quality of beers. We spent more time there than we had planned but the beers were so good we had to try more and different ones. We also purchased cans and crowlers to go which we traveled home with. If you are a craft beer lover you MUST visit Charles Towne Fermentory. Do not miss them!!!

Holy City Brewing

Large taproom and production facility on Aragon Avenue in Park Circle, North Charleston, SC. Beer, wine, liquor and food right on Noisette Creek.

Reviewed By Wanderluster_10

We enjoyed an afternoon at Blind Tiger in downtown Charleston so learned about local breweries and got several recommendations. Lots to see & do in town and on islands & beaches, including Ft Sumpter tour, so we could only squeeze in a visit en route to the airport. Holy City is in a friendly industrial room with many choices and good food (the pretzels are sin-fully good!), so we enjoyed ourselves just a few minutes from CHS. It's the kind of place where you may not mind hearing about (another) flight delay. Cheers.

We came to Charleston to check out some breweries. I’d never heard of this one but it was our first stop. I’m so glad we came here! The selection of beers was great. We did two flights and it was so hard to choose. We really enjoyed all the beers we tried. Plus the outdoor seating area was spacious. Love having an outdoor option especially during Covid. The staff/owners were super nice. They thought I’d left my sunglasses and found us at our next brew stop just to see if they were mine. That’s above and beyond! Will definitely be back next time we are in town.

Revelry Brewing

Reviewed By 492RyanB - Atlanta, United States

While in town for the weekend doing a brewery tour on our own we were told by many people that the rooftop bar of Revelry was a must-see and we were so glad we went. It’s only about 10-15 minutes in Uber from the Waterfront area and seems a little bit in the middle of nowhere, but it was easy enough with Uber/Lyft. We were glad to see they took social distancing seriously here with stool and table spacing as well as lots of hand sanitizer. Down stairs is a nice little area with the main bar and lots of table seating, but the best part is the rooftop bar up about 3 flights of stairs. The view is pretty incredible up there and the breeze keeps you cool. The gents working the bar were great to talk to and really knew their beer. We are big IPA fans and their Lefty Loosey West Coast IPA is outstanding. Also if you need a break from the high gravity crowd they have an excellent Kolsch as well. They had some interesting food items on the menu too, but we didn’t have time to try them. It was perfect timing for us being there on the 4th of July as we were able to see the F16’s do a fly over of CHS from their rooftop deck – we had a great time and highly recommend them.
