16 Best Craft Breweries in Charleston

“Nice brewery with good beer, laid back vibe and friendly staff. Good place to go to simply relax and enjoy as my wife and I did on a sunny Sunday afternoon. We tried 4 brews, lazy hazy IPA. Italian brew, Mexican lager and a seasonal ST Paddy day stout. All good“

“Fun place with outdoor seating in a little courtyard. There was a food truck just outside called Gobble Gobble that was just as delicious as the beer. We were there about 1pm and there was no wait to order from the food truck or get beer, which was amazing since the first couple places we tried near downtown were packed. My wife and I each got a beer flight and were not disappointed. The bartender was pleasant and happy to help.“

“First time visiting Revelry. The rooftop deck was very nice with plenty of seating. The pups enjoyed it. My wife enjoyed the sour. The online menu wasn't up to date so they didn't have any reds which is my preference. Would visit again.“

“Great beer with a solid Belgian backbone. Can sit and enjoy the slow rolling train while drinking great beer. Bartender was great at suggesting different beers to try. Definitely going back very soon. Several left to try. They also have to go beer. Try the BBA Grand National if you can get a bottle.“

“Nice little place. Thanks to Jane, they were open, despite planned being closed for the night. Beer was cold and refreshing. Great conversation with the young lady. Despite her only working there once per week, she's certainly knowledgeable about the bar and the beers.“

“We've tried many Charleston breweries but hadn't made it to this one until today. Really cool atmosphere, different from your regular brewery. They also offer a wide selection of beverages including hard kombucha and wine so there's something for everyone. Food truck out front too for food. Would definitely recommend!“

“Was expecting better beer based on the Untappd reviews. It’s well crafted and the sours were their best beers but the IPAs lack the hop-bomb profile I’ve come to expect being from the Midwest. Cool spot, great service, and love the tasty partnership with Bok Choy Boy (though your clothes will smell like a kitchen when you leave as a result).“

“My wife and I have been to most of the Charleston area breweries over the past two years having relocated from NY. Each one is unique regarding the location , the venue and of course the beer. Today we decided to try Indigo Reef. Very much a winner. They featured 20 beers on tap with an option for 12 and 16 oz pours or flights. We opted for two flights. Some better than others but all certainly drinkable and good. They have a wide variety of types with many IPA’s to choose from as well as other variety.They also offer bites and burgers in a comfortable setting and a very friendly and accommodating staff. Cans also available to go.“

“I recently went on a brew tour and happy hour. Meet up here, and This was very nice. I love when I get to sip and learn. I slipped on a Mexican lager before the tour began. Which was really good. Then after we did the tour, we had the chance to sample some of their other options like sours and IPAs they also have a great outdoor patio area and a space upstairs where you can also sit and sip. You can follow along with me over on Instagram to keep up with my Food and Bev adventures @sipbiteandtasteit“

“Ok so to be fair our company(Lowcountry Artificial Turf) did the artificial turf for Tradesmen and the owner operators and partners are really cool. They had a reopening recently and I wanted to check it out. I started our journey maybe a little biased because we had done business together. Buuuuuuttt. The place was so much different from when we were working there!!!! TVs and games on everywhere inside and outside!! Beer is awesome ? “but had options for our non beer drinkers”, Live music from a container stage, and a Venezuelan BBQ truck that was fire ?. Definitely Worth checking out this friendly local establishment.“

“First time here and we were there for the Lobster Truck that was there for the day. Turns out I did not get lobster and got the Nachos from next door at the Brewlab. But this review is for CRB so lets talk about that. They were also having something to do with dogs this day so plenty of mutts everywhere which my wife thought of as a huge bonus. The place was cool and the inside bar lovely. And we are now big fans of the blonde ale with orange flavor. I bought a case and plan on coming back for more. My wife loves it and she is not a huge beer drinker.“

“We had lunch at frothy beard this past Saturday. This spot is just fantastic and one of our favorites. The staff are super nice and really hustle. But they are also happy to hang out and offer recommendationS on tasty beers and good food to try. We scored an impossible burger, the vegan chicken sandwich, and a large fresh salad to share. Food was great. And so were the brews. Put this spot on your regular go to list. You won't be disappointed.“

“We stayed locally for 5 days from out of town. I cannot express the hospitality the bartender gave us and the people who made me and my sister feel at home here. Atmosphere was amazing, food trucks amazing, service amazing. We live in the Midwest but will come back for the community. A must visit.“

“Title: Fantastic Brewery Experience with Delicious Prime Rib and Superb Service!I had the pleasure of dining at Edmunds Oast Brewery in Charleston, SC, and I must say it was a truly delightful experience. Let me start by raving about the mouthwatering prime rib - it was cooked to perfection and simply melted in my mouth. The best side dish hands down were the garlic potatoes; they were flavorful and complemented the prime rib perfectly. And let's not forget about the heavenly carrot cake for dessert - it was the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal.While the fried chicken was a bit on the bland side for my taste, I must say that the barbecue sauce provided a burst of flavor that truly impressed me. It added a nice kick to the dish and made up for any lack of seasoning in the chicken itself.What truly stood out during my visit was the exceptional service provided by our waiter. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was top-notch. His recommendations were spot on, and he made us feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout the evening.In conclusion, if you're looking for a great brewery experience with delicious food and superb service, look no further than Edmunds Oast Brewery. The prime rib, garlic potatoes, and carrot cake are definite must-tries, and don't forget to try the barbecue sauce for a flavor boost. I can't wait to return and enjoy another memorable dining experience at this wonderful establishment. Highly recommended!“

“Excellent NY style pizza, by the pie or by the slice (I've not tried the Chicago style), excellent beer, excellent service, good for hanging out, watching football games, can handle some larger gatherings, etc. Really love this place. The outdoor area is so pretty at night with the string lights lit up.“

“New Realm Brewing on Daniel Island is a must-visit for anyone who loves craft beer and delicious food. Their wood-fired pizzas are fantastic, especially the Margherita and Buffalo Chicken, perfectly complementing their impressive beer lineup. From the Pilot Baltic Porter to their hand-crafted vodkas and tequilas, there's something for every taste. The vibrant atmosphere and passionate staff add to the exceptional experience. Highly recommend for a memorable outing!“
