Holy City Brewing

If you've been reading here for awhile, you know that there's one thing that Patrick and I really love to do on the weekend {or in a new city or after work or on a road trip or basically whenever}:

 

Explore a new brewery.

 

 

We were headed down to Charleston this weekend for our friends' Stock the Bar wedding shower and ended up getting on the road a little earlier than we expected to. Our arrival time was nearly 45 minutes earlier than the party was due to start. So what did we do?

 

Immediately tried to determine if we had enough time to get to our favorite downtown Charleston bar, The Vendue, for a drink before the party. We didn't really have enough time for that so we opted for option two.

 

We made a quick detour over to Holy City Brewing.

 

 

This brewery produces some of our very favorite Charleston beers and we have had it on our list of places to visit for awhile. It's located off of a super sketch road and behind an auto repair shop... but don't let that fool you. The beer is delicious and it's totally worth stopping by to visit.

 

 

My favorite Holy City Brewing beer is the Washout Wheat. It's named after a location on Folly Beach and it's such a good, light, summery beer. Patrick stuck with his favorite, the Overly Friendly IPA.

 

 

Our only complaint of the day had nothing to do with the brewery. We went to go sit outside and we had half a sip of beer before deciding to go right back inside. The bugs were out of control! Luckily, they had a lot of fans going inside to help keep the bugs at bay.

 

 

It was when we went inside though that we saw the food. Y'all. For a brewery, their food looked and smelled SO GOOD. I knew there was no way we were getting out of there without sampling something. Patrick checked the time and we decided that we still had enough time before the party to grab another beer and a basket of French fries.

 

Best French Fries EVER. And if their French Fries tasted that good, I can only imagine what the rest of the things on their menu tasted like. We'll be back to this brewery for sure and potentially just for the food! But the beers are worth going back for, too.

 

 

Although, next time, we'll probably go with a flight of beer so that we can break out and try something different. We both stuck with a beer choice that we already knew we liked.

 

 

Overall, we loved this brewery. It's got great beer, excellent food, and there were two Adirondack chairs under a big fan calling our names. Next time y'all, next time.

 

 

Plus... I need a shirt. Because I always need another t-shirt in my life.
