BrewsterWarriors: Women Who Love Beer Blog #4 11/05/2015 Summerville, SC
Welcome back! As you may know, I live in Charleston, SC. This city is a growing treasure of new breweries. We have one just down the road in Summerville. This beautiful town use to be the destination for people visiting from Charleston during the summer months. Less than a day's ride by horse and carriage, they came to the Land of Pines to cool off and escape the searing heat and fragrant(stinky) smells of the city. That was back when you had privies outside as well as your cows, chickens and horses. The richer citizens built beautiful houses and plantations in this summer retreat. It's still a smaller town with Bed and Breakfasts, a quaint downtown and a town square. Beer speaking, there are a few really good places to drink beer in Summerville.
The first place I would like to recommend is a bar called Homegrown Brewhouse at 117 Main Street. If you love craft beer, they have 40 taps of local beer at this brewpub. We really enjoy this place frequently. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell them what you drink and they can usually find something you would enjoy. They do have cider on tap as well. Interesting, simple industrial decor with small group seating make this a fantastic place to hang out with friends. Not really a place to bring kids though. Check them out for live music a few nights a week and Kill the Keg night on Thursdays. When walking down the long hall to the restrooms after a beer or two, practice your yodeling. We do! www.homegrownbrewhouse.com
Next on my list is a bar called Montreux Bar & Grill, located at 127 Richardson Ave in Summerville. This place has come a long way! It is a very nice establishment to hang out with friends and family. Plenty of seating. They have maybe a dozen draft beers which include a few craft brews. They have a substantial offering of bottled craft and foreign beer as well as a full bar and a decent menu. They offer live music on the weekend, have a nice back room with another bar and a place for a band. They also have a bar out back with corn hole. I would be comfortable bringing my kids here for an early evening but once the band starts, I'd take them home. Fun place to go dancing.

The last place or maybe the first place you should check out is really a Combo Destination. There's the Oak Road Brewery on the right side of the building. This is a small but up and coming craft brewery. Located at 108 E. Third St in Summerville, you will find at least 5 of their beers on tap.
They are a wonderful, smart establishment. This is a kid friendly place. They have corn hole, board games and Hungry Hippo. When was the last time you played that, 80's babies? The center of the building is dedicated to living in the moment. Live bands, open mike, poetry readings and fun. Left of the building is The Coastal Coffee Roasters. This a unique coffee shop that sells beer, good food, local products and great coffee. Sign up for their weekly emails. You cannot have a bad time at this brewery! You can find them on Facebook.
Keep checking back for more beer adventures. Drink responsibly and don't drink and drive!!!
