Thirsty? Guess where the best beer is in SC

Listen to this article

It’s crazy to think the Lowcountry is home to more than 30 breweries, especially when there are only about 50 in the state. But between 2010 and 2020, the number of breweries in the U.S. grew by 390%, according to the national Brewers Association — with many finding a home in the tri-county.

What can we say? Locals and tourists love their frothy libations.

After you’re done sampling Google’s list of the best pizzerias in the Palmetto State, wash down dinner with suggestions from Stacker’s list of Highest 

Rated Beer in South Carolina. It’s worth noting that all 10 of the best beers are from the Lowcountry and six on the list are from Westbrook Brewing Co. in Mount Pleasant.
