Brewery suggestion for trip

[RickBeer]

Camp Spring, MD (near Andrews AFB), Charleston,SC, Beaufort, SC.

If you've been to, or know breweries in these places, let me know.

No suggestions, I just do a search when I travel. Let us know what you find.
Thinking about it, there is a brewery downtown Charleston in an old industrial building. Jane and I visited there a couple of years ago, I recall liking it.

I think there may only be one or two old buildings in Charleston, so thanks John!

I have a list of ten for Andrews and for Charleston, I think 2 in Beaufort. Probably will have my wife pull up their sites and reviews while we drive (8 hours, then 8 more hours a few days later). We won't be stopping on way home as we go through Asheville, Knoxville, etc., but we did that a few years back.

Oh no, I recall that there are several old buildings in Charleston!
But only one or two are breweries. I checked my notes from that trip, but it only says 'Brewery/BBQ'. A search doesn't show the place either, perhaps it closed. It was far downtown in the historic district, a few blocks from the water.

Westbrook in Mt. Pleasant, outside of Charleston, is a must IMO. Big, nice modern brewery built from the ground-up ($$$) with a nice tasting room. Many excellent beers (last I knew, they also contract brew for Evil Twin Brewing). One Claw Rye Pale Ale is a great warm-weather beer. They've also gotten big into sours/Gose/etc -- not my thing, but supposedly they're good at it.

I've also been to COAST in North Charleston. Not as visually impressive, no real tap room, but they do offer samples. It's really just a production brewery, located in an industrial park. Friendly folks, though, and a good Kolsch.

Edmund's Oast has a new, really-nice taproom/restaurant north of Charleston. Have never been there but looks like it would be worth a visit.

Well, trip is over and didn't get to hit much.

In the Andrews AFB area we hit a bar with lots of beers on Friday mid-afternoon, but only had 30 minutes and a restaurant with lots of beers on Saturday for dinner with another couple (who drank wine), but both days didn't allow for much sampling. Had local beers both times. Arrived in the Charleston area on Sunday, only to find many breweries are closed Sunday and Monday... On Tuesday we caught lunch in the area at a place with lots of local choices, but just had one. Headed back Weds afternoon and got home last night.

Tried:

Pluff Mud Porter by Holy City Brewing
Amber Ale from Palmetto Brewing
The Corruption from DC Brau Brewing
Optimal Wit by Port City Brewing
DelMarVa Pure Pils

I enjoyed Palmetto Brewing in Charleston. Good beers and a nice lowkey atmosphere. Lagunitas had a brewery there too when I was there but it's been closed for a year now.
