Holy City Brewing
1021 Aragon Ave, North Charleston, SC 29405
(843) 459-2948
This North Charleston spot has plenty of great beer, but don’t sleep on their food. The Nothing Fancy Burger lives up to its name with American cheese, LTO, dill pickles, and special sauce on a brioche bun; The Falafel Burger is a vegetarian treat with a falafel patty, red pepper walnut spread, lemon poppy yogurt, leafy greens, and sprouts on a charred pita; and the Chopped Cheese is a lovely concoction of ground beef, secret seasoning, diced peppers and onions, American cheese, and “the sauce”. Throw in some Pretzels and Smoked Wings (with the tart and spicy green chile sauce) and you’ll be a happy brewery-goer.
Palmetto Brewing Co.
289 Huger St, Charleston, SC 29403
(843) 937-0903
Palmetto originally opened in 1888 and, after a brief mid-20th century hiatus, has been alive and well since 1993, serving amber ales and more that you can enjoy at the main bar as well as their “speakeasy”. Don’t sleep on the Gobble Gobble Food Truck, focusing on turkey burgers like the signature Gobble Gobble: a turkey burger topped with white cheddar, arugula, and lemon pepper aioli on brioche. Make sure to include a side of Potato Rounds, their take on fries.
Edmund’s Oast Brewing Co.
1505 King St #115, Charleston, SC 29405

Two Blokes Brewing
547 Long Point Rd #101, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464

Revelry Brewing Co
10 Conroy St, Charleston, SC 29403
(843) 376-1303
This downtown spot is always bursting at the seams with revelry. The drinks are of course tasty, and perhaps best enjoyed on their rooftop bar.

Tradesman Brewing Company

Don’t miss out on the good times to be had at Tradesman Brewing Company, right off King Street. They produce over 3,000 barrels of beer a year, which you can enjoy in servings of 4-oz, 8-oz, and 16-oz, plus growlers. But Tradesman truly shines with their event calendar, recurring clubs, and food trucks.
Westbrook Brewery
510 Ridge Rd, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464
(843) 654-9114
This Mt. Pleasant spot has 22 rotating beers of all types on tap. Several of these have even been aged in barrels, giving them the unique rustic flavor typically reserved for whiskeys.
