The number of craft breweries throughout Charleston has always been hefty, but the weight is ever increasing in the area as time goes on.  Charleston has one of the largest numbers of craft brewers in the country as it is, and that certainly isn’t going away anytime soon.

There is no possible way that, even as things stand as of today, that the majority of bars could keep even one kind of beer on tap to meet the needs of every brewery.  Even the bar, Closed For Business, which has over 40 beers on tap couldn’t be a host for all the local breweries.
