10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Kiawah Island

"Est: 2014 | North CentralYou can’t miss Revelry: the three-story structure towers over its block of Conroy Street between Meeting and Morrison Avenue, and if it’s nice out, you can almost hear the party on the super-popular rooftop before you see it. This North Central mainstay is a beloved post-work/-kickball bar (an intramural league plays in the park) thanks to its genuinely great view and big-flavor beers, several of which have brought home gold from GABF. Revelry is where you party, but The Hold -- their extremely relaxed sister location up the block -- is where you unwind with a pour of a spectacular, limited-run sour beer from their barrel program."

"This comfortable, casual brewery is a fun time day or night, and brings in an all ages (over 21) for some of Charleston's very best locally-brewed beer. Highlights from the sizeable, award-winning selection at Revelry Brewing include the Gullah Cream Ale, Funkmaster Brett & the Furious Hops, and the Oh My Darlin' Scotch Ale, among many others. Locals love the ample outdoor space at Revelry, equipped with heat lamps in winter, shady covered areas in summer, and enough bar seating and picnic tables to bring a crowd."

"Est: 2014 | NoMo / King ExtensionThis James Beard semi-finalist brewpub on Morrison Avenue has been punching way above its weight since the day it opened, pouring excellent housemade beers alongside hard-to-get stuff from brewing pals across the country (and around the world, for that matter.) This is definitely a restaurant, with in-house charcuterie & legit entrees, so don’t roll up expecting tater tots, pizzas, and the like. For that, you’re better off a little further up the road at Edmund’s Oast Brewing Co., their full-scale production brewery in the new Pacific Box & Crate development on King Extension. There you’ll find more of their beers, a slightly more casual atmosphere, and a chill patio favored by many young Charleston parents with kiddos in tow."

"Edmund’s Oast Brewing Co. is a more casual beer-focus take on the original Edmund’s Oast restaurant. The Brewing Co. is a craft brewery, taproom, and restaurant all in one!. They have indoor and outdoor seating, TVs to watch sports, and 26 taps of house-brewed beers, wines, and cocktails."

"Located in Morrison Avenue, this brewery has been outperforming by serving excellent housemade beers. This spot has a restaurant that adds to the things you can enjoy here. It offers a family-friendly vibe, and you may run into young parents with their children in tow."

"Est: 2012 | Johns IslandIt’s not as easy to get to as some of the other breweries on this list, but what Low Tide Brewing lacks in convenient access from Downtown, it makes up for with letter-perfect Lowcountry vibes once you arrive. Though it opened just a few years ago, Low Tide is the first craft brewery on rural-ish Johns Island (about 20 minutes from Charleston proper), and feels as much like a community meet-up as it does a production facility. The low-slung warehouse has tables both outside and in, and frequently welcomes food trucks for snacks during drinking sessions."

"If you’re staying on Johns Island, then Low Tide Brewing is worth a visit. With its laid-back vibe, rotating food trucks, and great selection of beers, this quintessential beach town brewery is the perfect place to kick back and relax with a tasty brew. This is the local watering hole on John’s Island, and you will likely see more than one dog sitting beneath its owner’s feet as residents talk about their day."

"Johns Island’s first brewery pays close attention to how beer pairs with the many different cuisines available in the Lowcountry. Owners Mike Fielding and Andy Elliott give restaurants the chance to collaborate with them, and food trucks are often stationed outside by the patio of the casual taproom."

"The Exchange is the retail arm of Edmund’s Oast, a popular restaurant that serves globally influenced Southern fare. The restaurant’s general manager/wine director, Sarah O’Kelley, stocks hundreds of selections. Look for the daily 3@3 happy hour with $3 half-pours from 3–4:30 pm, wine tastings on Thursdays to benefit local charities, a happy hour that features Champagne and live jazz on Fridays, while themed Somm School classes are held on Saturdays."

"Page's on Coleman Boulevard has the down home thing down pat. Folks head to their patio for shrimp and grits, okra gumbo and, yes, chicken and waffles. They're slightly newer to the scene, but they still serve blue plate specials and plenty of pies, cakes and puddings for dessert."

"Built in 1820 and expanded by Governor and Mrs. William Aiken, Jr. in the 1830s, this house and its outbuildings are preserved as rare intact artifacts. The extensive property allows visitors to explore the interconnections among all members of the household, both free and enslaved."

"The Aiken-Rhett House Museum is a historic home of an influential 1800s family which includes a back lot where slaves once lived."

"Located in the historic Fireproof Building, the South Carolina Historical Society Museum spans six interactive galleries and showcases more than 350 years of South Carolina history through the artifacts, personal treasures, and handwritten accounts of those who experienced it."

"Neon Tiger (654 King St.) is a vegan pizzeria that doubles as a cocktail lounge. It’s new on the foodie scene but knowingly embraces key tenets of old-working cooking (raise hands high for their use of zero flour in their pizza crust!). The menu includes specialty and classic pizzas as well as salads, sides, spirits, and sodas."

"Gnome currently holds the title for the only fully vegan restaurant in downtown Charleston!. This place is a must for breakfast, brunch, or lunch and one of my absolute go-to’s in town!"
