Freehouse joining growing Charleston brewery market

Freehouse

Looks like there’s (another) brewery coming to Charleston.

Last week, a Facebook page was launched for Freehouse Brewery, which is set to open shop in North Charleston just a few miles from COAST. A photo album on the page showcases the brewery’s equipment so far, and the first post on the page states “Brewing Fall 2013.”

Freehouse will join fellow coastal brewers *takes deep breath* COAST, Westbrook, Holy City, Palmetto, Frothy Beard the upcoming Olde Charlestowne Brewing Co. And, bucking the the trend of so many other new SC breweries, is not named after an animal or a waterway.

Frothy Beard begins tours, tastings this week

With construction of their tasting room complete and brewing having started a while back, Charleston’s Frothy Beard will be offering tours and tastings beginning this week.

While the brewery has had a sort of drop-in policy up until now, this morning they officially announced opening hours for their North Charleston facility this week. They’ll be pouring their brews from 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday; 6-8 p.m. on Thursday; 5-7 p.m. on Friday and 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday.

No word on what will be on tap, but they plan to announce that later in the week.
