Growler Haus launching 3rd location in Fountain Inn
Upstate bar and growler store Growler Haus has seen such success with its locations in Anderson and Spartanburg that the company recently announced a third location would be opening soon in the city of Fountain Inn.
Third Growler Haus location could open in Aiken
Popular bar/beer store Growler Haus could soon be opening a third location in the city of Aiken, joining shops in Anderson and Spartanburg.
Yeast, Charleston’s only homebrew shop, opens Saturday
Charleston is arguably the hub of South Carolina’s craft beer scene. With six operational breweries (and more on the way), numerous stores, bars, restaurants and brewpubs, the coastal city has everything you’d want to satiate your beer-related needs.
Except one. Strangely enough, the Charleston area doesn’t have a dedicated homebrew supply store where burgeoning brewers can locally purchase their goods. That is, until now.
Community Tap moving to new home
Greenville’s Community Tap will soon be relocating, although not too far from its current digs.
According to The Greenville News, the Upstate beer and wine store will be moving to a new shop just three doors down from its current home in the Stone’s Point shopping center. With the new store comes a 50% increase in space, a (future) outdoor seating area for about 30 people and the ability to begin serving food, primarily cheeses and other munchies suitable for beer pairings.
Inside, there will still be a 12-tap system for both beer and wine, but with the new addition of separate taps for ciders. Cooler space will also be expanded from three to six for more chilled grab-and-go options.
Expect the new Community Tap to open in January. Read more about the move here.
Growler Haus progresses toward Spartanburg expansion
Anderson’s Growler Haus is continuing on the path toward opening a second location in downtown Spartanburg, although they’ve deviated somewhat from their original plan.
In March, I wrote about how the Anderson-based growler store had entered itself in Spartanburg’s Main Street Challenge for a chance to win a prime spot in downtown Spartanburg as well as some money to cover rent for the first year. But according to a story from the Spartanburg Herald-Journal, Growler Haus owner Craig Kinley decided to withdraw from the competition and instead seize on a vacant property on his own.
Kinley signed a lease on a former cigar shop at 113 N. Church St. in Spartanburg and hopes to have the second Growler Haus location open by the summer.
The store is still continuing with its crowdsourced fundraising campaign, but that’s not going so well for them. With a little more than two weeks left, the campaign has taken in just $720 of the $12,000 goal. However, that doesn’t seem to be slowing them down.
When it opens, the store will offer the same amenities as its main location: the opportunity to buy a pint to enjoy there or grab a growler to take home. A light food menu will also be offered, as well as beer dinners, private tastings and so on in the future.
