Beer | Breweries | Greenville, SC
Greenville, SC is known for a lot of things: Restaurants, Food, Parks, The Arts … but what about BEER? Here are the 7 Breweries that are proud to call Greenville, SC home.
Quest Brewing Companyquest
Quest Brewing
Company houses a 25 barrel brewhouse occupying 5,300 sq. ft. of warehouse space near the downtown airport in Greenville. It was founded in 2012, and has quickly become a local favorite. Besides making a superior brew, Quest maintains several sustainable business practices benefiting the Upstate. Quest produces tons of spent mash
every week. They offer this to local farmers and Clemson’s Agricultural Dept. as an alternative to the high cost of feed such as soybean meal or corn. A great way of helping out the local agriculture industry as well as reducing the amount of waste they send to the landfill.
“People in Greenville are always on some kind of quest. Whether it is to bike the entire Swamp Rabbit Trail or hike Table Rock, there is a very adventurous spirit here. We wanted to embrace that.” -Quest’s Andrew Watts

Shoeless Brewing Co.
history isn’t a long one, but it is inspired by over 25 years of home brewing mixed with the continued inspiration for always wondering how much farther beer can be taken. Opening in August of 2015, Shoeless is the smallest brewery in the Upstate, SC area, which they claim as a bragging right. Their beginnings are humble and keep the brewery grounded to what it is the craft beer drinkers of the area want.

Do you remember going to a Greenville Braves game at the Greenville Municipal Stadium? I know I do, they were such a major staple here in the city before we were the “booming metropolis” in the state. So many nights at the park with my glove, Greenville Braves hat, and a bunch of those ice creams in the upside down helmet (you know what I’m talking about). The team had their highs and lows throughout the years, with arguably their best season coming in 1992. A few of the guys on this list help guide them into the history books in becoming the Southern League’s first 100-game winner. So without further ado, here are some of the biggest names in baseball (in no particular order) to come through # yeahTHATgreenville !
Some of us remember the days before “#yeahThatGreenville,” the days when we were just little ole’ Greenville, SC. Entertainment was simple back then, anyone between the ages of 5 and 65 spent Friday nights right off of Mauldin Road at Greenville Memorial Stadium. Mauldin was home to our AA Greenville Braves, or “G-Braves” if you were local. Greats like Chipper Jones & Tom Glavine to the “shy & humble” closer from Georgia, John Rocker, those games were star-studded. Looking back on how many G-Braves actually made it to the “Bigs,” makes me even more proud of Greenville, SC. So if you are new(ish) to Greenville and want to be able to wear the Old Greenville Braves hat with confidence, here are 7 facts that should catch you up.
