Happened upon this place while walking the Florence Rail Trail. The hazy IPA had a lot of flavor for a 5.1 abv. Brandon was awesome! We will definitely come back next time we’re passing through Florence.

Passing through Florence and stopped here for a beer. Cool spot with a lot of outdoor space for our dog. The hazy ipa was delicious!

Came for music bingo. Driving cross country. We don’t drink but most breweries have good food and a nice vibe, people our age, etc. besides NA is a thing now and there are some pretty decent products now. Except in the South apparently? Or at least according to the bar flies by the door.When I inquired about NA beer the host responded condescendingly something about not being a quitter no matter how bad things get…then I had to fend off jokes about O’douls. This all disregards the fact that there are other reasons than alcoholism that someone might be sober, you know, occupation stuff like sports or bodybuilding, medical conditions, pregnancy, religion (figured the last one would be well know in the a region full of Baptists, but I digress)Anywho no biggie. We went next door to Buddies, got a delicious burger and, what do ya know, Buddy’s sell Athletic NA IPASorry to say we did not feel welcome even though music bingo seems cool.

Memorable experience. A family friendly, communal experience to a traveler from out of state, who was treated like a visiting celebrity. I asked for details about about the beer I selected, and the young lady tapper pointed to the owner and said, "Steven will be happy to answer any questions you have." Damn straight. He gave me a brewery tour and educated me, a decades old homebrewer.He crafts excellent beer, but more importantly, is an embassador that welcomes any and all as friends.

Local Motive Brewing in Florence, South Carolina stands as a paragon of craft brewing, offering an experience that transcends the mere act of imbibing beer. The establishment exudes an aura of tranquility, making it an ideal haven for those seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The brewery's selection is nothing short of a plethora of liquid artistry, each brew meticulously crafted to offer a unique palate experience. From the mellifluous notes of their signature IPAs to the robust richness of their stouts, Local Motive Brewing has something for every discerning palate. The staff, loquacious in their knowledge of brewing, provide a lagniappe of insight into each offering, elevating the experience from mere consumption to an educational journey. The ambiance is equally captivating. The silhouette of the modern yet rustic interior design, combined with the incendiary glow of ambient lighting, creates an atmosphere that is both inviting and intimate. Local Motive Brewing is not just a brewery; it's a sanctuary for those who appreciate the finer things in life. It serves as a panacea for the languor that often accompanies our busy lives, offering a moment of serendipity that is both rare and cherished. A visit to Local Motive Brewing is not just recommended; it's imperative for anyone who values quality, felicity, and the joy of a well-crafted brew.

Local motive is a nice little brewery located right by the Florence rail trail connection trailhead. They have a good amount of outdoor seating and plenty of outside space for the kids to run around.There was a food truck there the day we visited. There's also a great burger shop next door and an excellent coffee joint a few doors down.They had six beers on tap, a seltzer and two flavors of 10.5% ABV frosé. My favorite beer was the Behemoth Triple IPA which clocked in at 10% ABV.We stopped here as a pit stop driving north from Charleston. We had a bowl from the food truck, a burger from Buddy's next door, I had a flight of beer, and my wife had a coffee from the Bean Bar (she was driving the next leg)- and we were back on the road in 30 minutes.Definitely worth a visit.
