Publisher's Synopsis
This book will provide the incredible and mouthwatering history of Charleston beer.
It's little wonder that artisanal brew beer has grabbed the Holy City by storm, especially in a community that prides itself on buying local and all things Lowcountry. Craft beer culture is thriving, with four established breweries, specialized retail stores and restaurants, a homebrewing organization, and the yearly Brewvival event. But behind the modern ales, lagers, and stouts that connoisseurs know and love is a barrelful of Charleston beer history that has been brewing for centuries. From the first brewery that opened its doors in 1732 through Prohibition and the recent Pop the Cap legislation that allowed high gravity beer to once again flood the streets, Charlestonians have embraced beer wholeheartedly.
