You will find patio-friendly taprooms downtown, relaxed beer gardens in North Charleston and West Ashley, neighborhood breweries in Mount Pleasant, and island stops near James Island, Johns Island, Folly Beach, Daniel Island, and Cainhoy. Some feel like casual beer halls with food trucks. Others are full brewery restaurants where you can settle in for pizza, BBQ, burgers, brunch, or a longer dinner.
