10 Best Breweries 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: 2017 | King ExtensionWith the trucking corridor of upper Meeting Street out front, and the working train tracks out back, Munkle is an unexpected destination for Charleston’s finest/only Belgian-style brews. Yet they’re here, and legit -- in its first-ever GABF, Munkle took home gold in the French & Belgian Ale category. Get a Gully Washer Wheat and waste some time on the hook & ring game on the patio, or kick back on a couch with a Brugge City Brune and soak up the air-conditioning while your pals shoot pool."

"With most of the breweries in Charleston located in the Brewery District, Cooper River Brewing is no exception to this HOP-ping area (get it HOP-ping, like hops?). If full-bodied beers are your thing, Cooper River Brewing will not disappoint. Hitting the Charleston brewery scene in 2015, their top brews are the Orange Infused Blonde Ale and Golden."

"This hidden brewery is a fun place to try several kinds of beer, as Cooper River offers up five ounce pours for just two dollars apiece. The large, comfortable space has an outdoor patio, and food vendors like Big Bone BBQ will often be stationed out front."

"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."

"This hard-to-find West Ashley taproom offers creative flights and fun events to the local crowd. Savory ingredients like cilantro, cucumber, and thyme often find their way into the beer, and the tap selection features several IPAs. Frothy Beard hosts fun themed events like their Star Wars May the Fourth Be With You night, and Zombie Bob’s Pizza is on-site to soak up the alcohol."

"Three good buddies started Frothy Beard Brewing in 2013, and haven’t looked back since. Relocating to a bigger, more capable facility in 2017 they have gained quite a bit of press and attention from the locals. Their beers have a nice variety from light to dark, something for every type of beer drinker."

"With minimal information on the actual brewery or owners of this establishment, LO-Fi Brewing leaves the mysteries to be answered by the beer they brew. Checking out their incredible website will not give you much insight as to how or who runs this place, but I love it regardless. With only three or four options of beer on tap, they are confident you will like one of four options, if not all of them."

"While it’s the “farthest” away from downtown, it’s only 1 mile from Tradesman Brewing and definitely worth a visit. A unique and quirky atmosphere in a refurbished warehouse, Lo-Fi Brewing is a chill place to come knock one back with friends. Be sure to try the Glitter Pony Triple or Rally Cat IPA which are bomb AF!"

"Funky vibes echo throughout this former warehouse on Meeting Street. Owner Jason Caughman prides himself on this and his ability to brew drinkable beers, like their flagship Mexican lager with whole-leaf hops. The minimalist decor mirrors the relaxed nature that comes with a visit to Lo-Fi."

"After taking a walk around the historic gardens of Hampton Park, saunter over to Huriyali Gardens to treat yourself to a soul nourishing and nutrient-packed lunch. A staff favorite, this hip restaurant offers both vegetarian and meat-based dishes but the must-try is their signature açaí bowls. Topped with a variety of fruits, nuts, sauces, and even bee pollen, their açaí bowls are to die for!"

"This spot has one of the cutest courtyards in town, perfect for spring lunches; the interior is pretty darn adorable as well. Huriyali offers acai bowls, smoothies, breakfast bowls, wraps, sandwiches, nachos, coffee, and more!"

"Not only is Huriyali hopped up on healthy eats, but it feeds you hip vibes too. Foodies come for the food pics as well as the bright blue palette. Take some photos of the creative murals and brightly colored drinks!"

"That's the message, and the mission, of the staff, services and organic boutique at Sweet 185. Conveniently located on Upper King Street, Sweet 185 is Charleston's pioneer sugaring studio. Head to this eclectic day spa for an alternative to your typical wax, in the form of a sugaring treatment."

"After you explore the global brand stores on King Street, hop into Spa Adagio at the iconic Francis Marion Hotel, known for playing relaxing sounds and filling their posh service lounge with sweet aromas. Using world-class skincare products from Image Skincare and Babe Lash, they offer a full slate of rejuvenating natural herb treatments, innovative detoxifying and cleansing body therapies. Whether it’s a fun date night or an exciting party, Spa Adagio preps you up gorgeously for your next adventure."

"The Spa Adagio at The Francis Marion Hotel is located in the hotel's lower level, conveniently situated close to nearby parks, museums, shopping and Upper King Street restaurants. Duck into Spa Adagio, whose name means 'slowly, leisurely, gracefully', for a quick nail care treatment or wax, or instead dedicate a full morning or afternoon to this spa's menu of services. Spa Adagio offers Massage Therapy at $55 for 30 minutes, $95 for 60 minutes and $135 for 90 minutes."

"This full-service day spa is located in the Francis Marion Hotel across from Marion Square in downtown Charleston. A day at Spa Adiago will leave even the most stressed person feeling rejuvenated and renewed. Some of their services include full body massage, aromatherapy, wrinkle lifts, facials, wraps, lash lift, and so much more."

First-rate spa services like boosting collagen facials, antioxidant treatments alongside customizable organic scrubs contribute to your optimal self-care experience. You can also bring your significant other for a couples massage and enjoy great deals on full-day spa packages."
