Palmetto launches in Columbia Feb. 3

PalmettoSouth Carolina’s oldest brewery announced during the weekend it would begin distribution in the Capitol City starting next month.

Palmetto, which has been producing beer in Charleston since 1993, was in attendance at Saturday’s World Beer Festival in Columbia and announced Columbians would see the brewery begin distribution in town Monday, February 3.

Palmetto produces four year-round beers: Amber Ale (5.7%), Pale Ale (5.6%), Charleston Lager (5.4%) and my personal favorite, their Espresso Porter (6.4%). They also produce a number of special releases, including Ginger Slap, their Amber Ale with ginger and cardamom, and Ghost Rider, their Pale Ale, with cherries and smoked ghost peppers.

Look for draft and bottles available around Columbia soon.
