Beer Trip: Palmetto Brewing Co. | Charleston, South Carolina

Morgan here! Our first out-of-state trip in 2022 was actually a girls’ trip, to Charleston, SC taken with my two sisters-in-law. Although a girls’ trip isn’t usually as brewery heavy as a trip with Chris would be, we still made a couple of stops. First up - Palmetto Brewing!

The Brewery

Merchandise area

Palmetto is South Carolina’s oldest brewery since prohibition, which makes for some pretty neat history. Just a stone’s throw from downtown Charleston, Palmetto is outside of the hustle & bustle and has plenty of free parking directly outside.

The brewery itself is made up of an extremely large taproom and a smaller “speakeasy” area. Very neat décor throughout - just check out that beer bottle chandelier! All in all, this brewery was HOPPING (get it?) and definitely felt like the place to be on a Saturday afternoon - they even had live music!

Enormous tap room with live music!

The Beer

Palmetto featured a very large selection of brews, including flagship and rotating taps and seltzers. I hardly do flights anymore, but simply couldn’t help myself here - there were way too many I needed to try knowing that I may never be back!

Ultimately, I went with a small batch Raspberry Cobbler Sour, the Idle Speed, the Evening Joe Coffee Blonde, and the Peanut Butter Chocolate Time - which I rated on Untappd at a record 4.50 (you’ll learn over time that I’m a VERY harsh scorer)! The perfect beer for any peanut butter lover.

Apparently my penmanship isn’t great with chalk!

Ultimately my ratings here averaged out to 3.5 which, again, is quite high for me. I would have definitely spent more time at Palmetto if my girls’ trip allowed and would recommend the brews and atmosphere to anyone visiting Charleston.

Cheers!

Morgan
