About Us

Greenville is the largest city in Greenville County, South Carolina. Greenville has long been known as The Textile Capital of the World until the textile industry mostly moved overseas.  

In the last few decades, favorable wages and tax benefits, as well as prestigious awards and flattering reviews have attracted foreign companies to invest heavily in Greenville.

Laws in South Carolina had been conservative in terms of beer brewing. However, breweries in South Carolina got a boost by the Pint Law in 2013 and the Stone Bill in 2014.  From then on, the brewing industry started to flourish in Greenville.

To experience the fun of tasting beers and learning the process of brewing and crafting beers, join a brewery tour with Greenville Brews Cruise.
