BrewWarriors: Women Who Love Beer Blog #5 More Beer in Charleston, SC AKA The Holy City

Where did the name Holy City come from? Historically, almost all religions were welcome in Charleston. You only need to take a Harbor Cruise from the Ft. Sumter National Monument to notice an unusual amount to steeples dotting the skyline. Did you know that no building in Charleston can be taller than the tallest steeple. Your trivia question: What is the name of the church? Hint: It's on King Street.
More numerous than the churches in Charleston were the pubs on the corners. Yes folks, it was also known a city of sins. Wine, women, pirates, songs and... oh yes, The Holy City Brewing Company on Dorchester Rd. They came a few hundred years after the pirate era but they are worth mentioning.

This creative garage like brewing company brews on site .Located at 4155 Dorchester Rd in North  Charleston ,they have an inside taproom with 16 beers on tap, inside seating and outside picnic table area for enjoying their beer. With live entertainment most weekends, they have a pool table and corn hole games to while away your time. They also have a small kitchen with some tasty food and they offer Sunday brunch. Family and pet friendly atmosphere make this a fun place to hang out.

Their signature beers include the malty, roasty Pluff Mud Porter 5.5% ABV, a local favorite that many bars in the vicinity now carry.  Then there's Chucktown Follicle Brown, an easy drinking American Brown Ale 6.8% ABV and Washout Wheat , a smooth and drinkable Hefeweizen at 5.3% ABV. They also have Overly Friendly IPA, a 6.9% ABV American Pale Ale that is not overly hoppy but has a slight bitter hop finish. You gotta try it. They also currently have a delicious American Barleywine on tap called Julbocken 10.6% ABV. It's a rich high alcohol beer that's wonderful and potent. Another fantastic choice is Collision Stout which is an American Double/Imperial Stout and I love. This is a seasonal beer so get it while you can!
