In & Around Spartanburg: Tradition and Innovation on Tap
Spartanburg’s craft brewery scene has steadily been catching up since its first craft brewery, RJ Rockers, opened its doors in 1997. As South Carolina legislation eventually cleared the path for the rise of craft breweries, the city and surrounding area have grown into a craft beer lovers’ destination spot. Spartanburg’s brewing landscape is built on a blend of Southern heritage and modern flavor. Breweries here tend to lean into tradition—clean lagers, balanced pale ales, and classic German styles—while still offering room for seasonal creativity. With revitalized neighborhoods and a growing downtown, Spartanburg provides a laid-back backdrop ideal for enjoying thoughtfully crafted beer and live local music.
