Charleston, SCBrewery

This King Street taproom is where local supporters of Arsenal gather to catch a match, according to Charleston City Paper's guide to the city's breweries. It also took home the 2026 Best of Charleston win for Best Beer Selection on Tap, with an address and suite number matching exactly what the taproom itself lists.

The rooftop at this Elliotborough brewery hosts a weekly Saturday afternoon DJ set, a detail Charleston City Paper flags as reason enough to bring visiting friends along. The guide also notes a newer Folly Beach outpost, a sign of an operation that has kept expanding since it first opened downtown.

An on-site raw bar here serves fresh oysters alongside the beer, a collaboration between the North Charleston brewery and a local shucking specialist that Charleston City Paper covered as a recent grand opening. It also won Best Cold Beer in the 2026 Best of Charleston readers' poll, adding to its reputation as a Park Circle destination.

Westbrook has been brewing in Mount Pleasant since 2010, running a wide house lineup that Charleston City Paper's brewery guide singles out for its tasting flights. Few things please a beer drinker more than a well-built flight, the guide argues, and this is where it points readers looking to sample broadly in one sitting.

The taproom here recently expanded to add a wraparound porch that catches a breeze off the nearby marsh, according to Charleston City Paper's guide to Charleston-area breweries. It is a North Charleston fixture that the guide singles out specifically for that porch, calling it worth the trip on its own.
