Tradesman Brewing

Charleston
$$$$

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

The first brewery to operate on James Island turns a warehouse behind a gas station into a beer cave. The brewmaster taught himself the craft and there’s a DIY feel to the taproom, with keg tap handles shaped like wrenches, shovels and other tools, in a space that often throws beer and food events with local restaurants. Don’t come looking for innovation here, it’s about the typical American ales, so go elsewhere for your juniper-rosemary IPAs.
