Heading to Charleston, SC for a week ...

Breweries = Westbrook and Coast, for certain. Not sure what else.

Bottle shop = Charleston Beer Exchange.

 

CBE is the best bottle shop in SC, if not the entire South. As far as bars go, there are lots. Try out Squeeze, The Bar at Husk, and Blind Tiger Pub...decent beer selections, great cocktails and fun environments...need any other suggestions on The Lowcountry, feel free to BM me.

 

Second on Westbrook and Coast.

I always grab some Palmetto Espresso Porter when I'm down there. It can really only be found in and around Charleston.

 

House of Brews and Coleman Public House are worth checking out if you are on the mt p side. If you want nothing but local taps, hit Bowen's Island. Best local beer selection, but it comes in a plastic cup. Seafood is awesome there as well.

 

Definitely agree with Coast and Westbrook but also want to suggest Holy City, just started bottling, and also a trip to the Piggly Wiggly on James Island, 70 or so taps at a grocery store is pretty impressive. Have a great time, cheers!

 

Some of the other Palmetto beers are worth trying to - Amber is always solid and the Pale Ale and Lager are great staples in the lineup.

 

Holy City is a good call. I just tried their Oyster Stout and was very impressed, about three pints impressed.

 

Beer exchange...beer exchange...beer exchange!!! Also come see us at Westbrook. Our tasting hours are thur 4-7, fri 4-7 and sat 12-4. Coast is thurs 4-7 and sat 11-2. Not sure of holy city or palmettos hours but all are worth check out. Also look at chsbeer.com for all things "beer" in charleston

 

Gin Joint is fantastic if during your week you need a break from beers (they do have beer but the main attraction are the cocktails).

 

chsbeer.org -- but close enough, Mike!

 

If you type in .com it will still take you there so suck on that

 

Coleman has great burgers too, my wife and I went after Westbrook for a late lunch and were pleasantly surprised.

Westbrook is a must stop not just for beer quality but friendliness...I went and they were happy to have us there sampling as much as we wanted, and their were a number of beers on tap I hadn't seen in bottles in a while like the Gose. Great experience.

 

No, YOU can suck on.....THAT. So THERE.

 

Worst come back ever

 

Timmons had a comeback writer's block.

 

He should have just said I'm rubber you're glue

 

So glad we splurged on that .com!

Also, didn't see anyone mention Closed For Business which is worth a visit if you're on King Street. Holy City is open every day except Sunday, and Palmetto Brewery is open Wednesday (4:30-6:00pm) and Friday (4:30-6:00pm).
