Egan’s Oast – CBX owners’ brewpub – changes name

EdmundsOastBack in April, it was revealed that Rich Carley and Scott Shor of the Charleston Beer Exchange were planning opening their own brewpub called Egan’s Oast in late 2013. The brewpub was to serve local beers as well as ones brewed in-house in their 200-seat outdoor German-style beer garden and 130-seat interior dining area.

But on Wednesday, a slight change was made to the future brewpub. Apparently, another business opening soon in the Charleston area had a name a little similar to Egan’s Oast, so the decision was made to give the place a new name: Edmund’s Oast.

The name change wasn’t that much of a pain, fortunately. The “Egan” in the previous name came form Edmund Egan, one of Charleston’s earliest beer producers. So, instead of using his last name, they went with his first. Simple as that.

If you’re still scratching your head, an oast is a kiln used to dry hops.

CBX owners plan to open brewpub

CBX

The guys behind the best beer store in the U.S. will soon expand their operations by opening a brewpub and beer garden in the Holy City.

The Charleston Post and Courier and the Charleston City Paper have each reported that Rich Carley and Scott Shor – of Charleston Beer Exchange fame – will soon open Egan’s Oast, a brewpub with a 200-seat outdoor German-style beer garden and 130-seat interior. The brewpub will serve craft beer brewed on site as well as other noteworthy local and national brews.

Andy Henderson, formerly of FIG, will serve as chef. It’ll be located in the old William M. Bird & Co. building on Morrison Drive.

The “Egan” in the name comes from Edmund Egan, who began producing beer in Charleston after emigrating from England in the 1760s. The “oast” comes from a device once used to dry out hops.

“This is the most logical extension of growth and development rather than to keep opening more retail stores,” Shor told the P&C.

The brewpub is expected to open by this fall.

Homegrown Brewhouse opens for business

HomegrownBrewhouse

After months of preparation and construction – and passing the final legal hurdles – Homegrown Brewhouse finally opened its doors this past Saturday, March 30.

Located in Summerville, the brewpub will focus on exactly what its name entails: homegrown brews from across the Palmetto State. With 40 taps installed, they hope to represent and pour all of South Carolina’s breweries in the future. There are about 18 taps up and running now. They’ll eventually install their own brewing system and serve their own in-house beers.

Homegrown offers 4-ounce samples, 12-ounce pints and 64-ounce growler fills of whatever’s on tap. You can follow along with their tap list and when they’re open on their Facebook page.

Old Mill Brewpub opens in Lexington

oldmill

The Midlands’ newest brewpub – and only the second in the region – is now open for business.

A Facebook page for the Old Mill Brewpub in Lexington was stated on Feb. 25 and posts began popping up this past Friday. According to reports – that is, people driving by and seeing that there are people patronizing the pub – things are going well so far.

The brewpub’s website is still a bit sparse and there still aren’t a lot of details about when they’ll start putting the “brew” in brewpub, but for my original update, click here.

Old Mill is located at 711 E. Main St. in downtown Lexington.

Old Mill Brewpub coming to Lexington

Image

It seems as if the burgeoning beer scene of Lexington, SC, is getting another shot in the arm.

The folks over at Keg Cowboy, the Lexington-based homebrew shop and bar, posted a rundown on their Facebook page this morning listing some of the changes coming to the city’s Main Street corridor in the coming months. One of those announcements was that in February, the Old Mill Brewpub will be opening for business.

According to a Patch story published earlier this week, the brewpub will be located in the former home of the Cotton Grill and will serve regional craft beers on draft as well as BMC offerings in bottle. The menu will be “eclectic,”  but there aren’t any specifics yet.

Sadly, we may have to wait a bit longer to taste what they’re brewing. The pub will open next month but the brewing equipment won’t arrive for a few more months. And then there’s brewing time and whatnot, so it might be spring or summer before Old Mill’s beer are on sale. But when they do start brewing, they’ll be in good hands: Keg Cowboy’s Matt Rodgers will be lending his knowledge.

In the meantime, you can enjoy great food and even better brewpub beer at  Hunter-Gatherer Brewery and Ale House in Columbia.
