Finally got to stop in here! It was a rainy afternoon, but I love the building and how cozy it feels inside. Great selection of beers for all of us to try. read more

Thanks to the team from Munkle for entertaining me for 3 hours when my flight was delayed. I loved the beer and the establishment. read more

Munkle Brewing Co - Breweries Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Out of all the breweries in Charleston, Munkle is just Meh to me. To be fair..I am not a huge fan of Belgian beers which is Munkle's main style they brew. The outdoor area is great, dogs are allowed throughout the brewery and it is pretty cool when a train rolls by. Out of all the beers I've had here the Porter is my favorite. My biggest pet peeve is that the wall between the taproom and brewing area prevents you from seeing all the equipment. It takes some of the charm from the brewery experience. read more

Wow, why has it taken me this long to come to Munkle? We came here on a Friday night and enjoyed delicious food by the Castejons. The weather was perfect for sitting on the patio and there was plenty of outside seating. I tried the Pout House Pale Ale, the Gully Washer Wit, and the Pilsner. My favorite was definitely the Pout House Pale Ale, which was slightly fruity and light. They definitely have a beer for every type of beer drinker. The space itself is huge (both outside and inside), so I doubt it would ever feel overcrowded. We spent the night playing pool, drinking beer, and snacking on delicious food. We also pet a couple of dogs (which is always a win). Overall, we had a great night and the crowd seemed to all be having fun as well. I will definitely be back to check out more of the pop-ups/ make my way through the beer menu. read more

Solid Belgian beers at Munkle! I think Munkle is my new Charleston favorite! Located right on the beer trail that has now become part of Charleston's beer district, Munkle is a fun, modern yet unpretentious brewery that specializes in Belgian style beers. The atmosphere is great and dog friendly both inside and outside! The beers are all solid. I love their Triple and Dubbel. Their Saison is also impressive. I look forward to trying many of their new styles as they continue ramping up production, but I consider them to be extremely solid for being so new to the scene and so early into mass production mode. Definitely a "must stop" on the brewery hopping circuit in the area! read more

Munkle Brewing Co - Wow! Great Belgian style beers. The Brune is outstanding! All very true to style but more flavorful than most. - Breweries Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTIC Cute barn feel with card games, board games, pool, etc available for people to enjoy themselves while drinking beer. FIRST IMPRESSION This place deserves five stars right now for being a great new business! They were so incredibly friendly and the beer was so cheap!! We bought a 7oz for only $3 and the bartender just filled the entire glass full anyways for my friends and I. ALCOHOL Though a small variety of beer available, it tasted good! Good combination of some light and dark beers and for only $3 you really can't complain! read more

Munkle is making the best beer in Charleston. They are focused on Belgium-style beers and have an outstanding barrel aging program. Rum Barrels, Whiskey & Bourbon Barrels- they just pair perfectly with the sweeter Belgium style beers that Munkle are serving. Don't expect to find any IPAs. They have a light beer with raspberries called "Munk Light" that clocks in under 4% ABV that is a perfect beer for the beach, boat- anytime you're out in the sun. It's absolutely delicious. They have an excellent line up of rotating food trucks. Great outdoor patio that is kid and dog friendly. Very careful around COVID- I felt completely safe bringing my family here. Everyone is wearing masks and they were wiping down each table after people left. They do offer beers to go in bottles, cans, and crowlers. Prices are very reasonable for their beers. Just top notch beer and a wonderful experience all around. read more

We happened onto the MBC after a visit to nearby Edmund's Oast. One of their regulars suggested we stop in and recommended the traditional Belgian style beers. They have a nice breezy patio alongside the railroad tracks. It's a unique and fun experience for beer and train fans alike. We loved the Gully Washer Wit (a classic wheat ale) made with 3 different types of citrus peels, chamomile, and Indian coriander seeds; Literally perfect and refreshing for a 100° day. After the light start I chatted up Matthew (the affable and knowledgeable bar man) about the beers on offer. He suggested we check out the 3rd Floor Tripel. This dark, lovely rich beer may be the over all BEST beer we tasted on this trip to Charleston. Again, not ideal to throw back three or four pints, it's the equivalent of a black Forrest cake. read more

Their stouts are amazing. I cannot say that enough. We absolutely loved the vibe and service we received at Munkle. Our only complaint is that we wished a train would have come by while we were there to really set off the atmosphere. They have been added to my list of top breweries in Charleston for both atmosphere and quality! read more

Wow what a great new brewery in Charleston! Recently opened I had heard of it, and wanted to go. So I invited some other fellow Yelpers and we started an afternoon brewery crawl here. I think we all could have just stayed here! It is nice, more than just a brewery. The interior is open with different seating, there's a nice bar to sit at, and a pool table. Then there is the covered patio outside, with rocking chairs, picnic table to sit and chat, and some stools at the same bar. Wonderful atmosphere and setting. The beer is also just as good. They offer traditional Belgian style beer here, and had 5 different ones on tap. They ranged from light to dark and each one was smooth and drinkable. I think everyone in our group had a different one so it was fun checking them out. My favorite was the brown Belgian. I really think it's great they focus on just one type of beer. This way they can offer the best Belgian style beer in the area. The location is easy to find, they have on site parking. I think that Munkle brewery is another great addition to the Charleston brewery business. We look forward to visiting there again. read more

This could be my new favorite brewery around town. It's located a little out of town on Meeting Street Road, but easy to find and get in/out of, with on-site parking in a gravel lot. They told me they just opened mid-October, but they already look and act like a very established brewery. You can immediately tell it's a friendly, welcoming environment when you hit the door. Speaking of doors, there is a medium-sized bar that services both inside and outside patrons, and the outside is accessed via a roll-door like in garages. There is a nice sitting area inside with couches, tables and chairs, and a pool table. The brewery welcomes dogs, but please make sure they play along well with others. In fact, the brewery has its own "resident" guard dog. He's very friendly once you buy a drink and take a seat. ;-) He (Brugge) might even ask you to play with him if you feel so inclined. There are picnic tables and rocking chairs on the "porch", and a tv at the bar if you need to catch a game. The place feels very spacious, yet homey. I think it's the people. The beer was good, although I only had one since we were participating in a brewery tour for the day. Our group spaced out and enjoyed the beautiful weather outside, some in the lawn in direct sun, while others took up a shady spot under the porch roof. A few people, along with two dogs, joined us outside and commenced to playing a game of corn hole. I must admit I believe only one of them had ever played before and might have been trying to show-off a little for the others. There were a few others inside, so a pretty typical brewery attendance in the early afternoon. I will definitely keep this place on my radar and bring others out soon. read more

Checked out the brewery today for the first time. It was great weather so it was nice there were so many tables outside. The outside area was very nice and clean. There's a fire pit that I definitely want to come back when it's cold to see in action. the inside has plenty of seating space and has a cool atmosphere. I ordered their silver shoe shout and it was great! Very bold and full of flavor. I did try another beer and I forget the name but I think it was a triple. Very good! Love that this brewer Is close to a few others. Will definitely be back. read more

This brewery was my favorite on our UYE brewery crawl. Great space, great vibe. I love the outdoor seating and that there is corn hole. I thought the beer was good and my husband enjoyed it too. I do wish they had some football on though because that's how I can lure my husband back on a Sunday again! I also love that they had a private parking lot. read more

Just like everywhere else in the world, there's a micro-brew revolution going on. I was in Charleston for the 3rd time, and I don't remember ever going to a brewery in this town before. But here I was heading to the newish Munkle Brewing for a beer. It didn't hurt that I had a Belgian with me to test the Belgian style beers. It was in the middle of nowhere, more or less, but we ended up meeting the owner and that was kind of the point. He wanted to create a destination that's not just another bar. We ended up sampling all 5 of the beers on tap, and all of them were good. I don't remember which I liked best, but I'd happily drink here again. The owner took us in the back and showed us the brewing room as well. Good spot to hang out and have some decent beer, maybe play a game of pool. Super chill. Just keep in mind it's Belgian STYLE, not authentic Belgian beers. read more

Belgian Beer Spot. Definitely carving out that niche is Munkle. Belgian beers aren't light or over hopped IPAs. Usually Belgians are considered complex; sweet and sour, fruity/citrus, etc. They have 4-5 beers on draft; all in the Belgian style. And although I'm not a Belgian-style fan, I'm glad I went and thought my Belgian porter was pretty good. Big open space with a nice outdoor patio. Pool table and corn-hole available. The brewery puppy was a ball of energy and a blast to watch! read more

Great beers. Great service. Great atmosphere. Can't wait to go again Staff was really helpful in choosing beers. For such a small place I didn't expect it to be that good read more

Did a little brewery tour around town and I'm so glad we found this little spot! Incredible beer, cute indoor space, and awesome service. To top it off, they've usually got a great rotation of food trucks. read more

Great beer and atmosphere! Palmer and his staff treated us like family. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Charleston. Cheers! read more

So this place is pretty good. Serving traditional Belgian style brews. Usually pretty busy. They have a pool table inside. Air conditioning, patio and dogs are allowed as well. So why did I give them 3 stars if I like them. They don't have beers that I like. So this is not a negative review about their venue. It's my personal preference. When I go out to grab some craft brew, Munkle won't be at the top of my list. Sorry guys. However, I go back for those that like tripels or pale ales. So that'd be my advice, get some other beers on tap. Branch out a little, maybe get some small bites or food trucks to come visit. read more

The best staff, great vibes, plenty of games to play, and SOLID beer that never disappoints.

I cannot rave enough as a Beer Enthusiast from CA. If you don't know beer, you won't know how much this means. I don't give any reviews away, you earn them and Munkle not only met my expectations, they surpassed it on my 6/28/21 visit. Palmer went out of his way to give the best tasting I have ever had and it was the only beer I made room for in my checked luggage. He is a purist and no BS on what he brews. I called one of my favorite OG 30 plus yrs. home brewer friends while still there that visits Europe regularly about how much I loved their brews. I came for their Belgian and I left with a huge grin. I am bummed I cannot visit them on a regular basis. Munkle delivered on Southern Hospitality and I am so very thankful! read more

Munkle Brewing Co - yum! - Breweries Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

My friends and I stopped in today I'm a brewery bouncing tour. It was awesome! The beer is delicious with lots of choices. The brewery is decorated like a German brew haus. The beer tasted great too with no bitterness and you can do half pours! Can't wait to go back. For sure it reminded me of Bavaria. read more

This place is great! The space is comfortable, clean, and inviting! Inside they have a great pool table for free play and some nice outdoor seating as well. Their beer is very good for being a newer brewery! They absolutely know what they're doing. The bar staff, who I'm pretty sure is generally the owner(s) is always very friendly and personable and they have a sweet brewery dog that hangs out too!This is definitely my go to brewery in the new Charleston "brewery district". read more

Stumbled upon Munkle Brewing Co when looking for some spots to check out for a one day/night stop in Charleston! When Yelping, I saw that there was a good concentration of breweries in this "industrial area" and it wasn't a super far walk from Downtown! I absolutely loved it here. We came on a Sunday afternoon, and it wasn't busy at all. There was a great outdoor area, where my friend and I sat on rocking chairs while watching a few other people play corn hole on the lawn. The weather was perfect, and there wasn't much traffic on the road on the other side of the train tracks. The beers themselves are all Belgian style. I wasn't a HUGE fan of the ones I had, but my friend seemed to really enjoy his! They had a pretty decent selection, and the price was right. Inside, there is more seating at tables and right at the bar (indoor and outdoor), a pool table, and lots of space to hangout. It is right next door and across the street from a couple other cool places, so definitely a good spot to hit on its own, or if you're looking to brewery hop! read more

Munkle was one of our favorite breweries in Charleston. They focus on Belgian style beers and will also use Belgian yeast on non-Belgian styles. The Belgian porter I tried was a very tasty example of this, as was the Pout House Pale. I particularly liked how their bar was built. It's roughly a square with a wall on one side, two sides facing the taproom and one that opens up to the outside deck. Extremely cool and efficient. They had a nice outdoor space that was a bit too warm for us Yankees, even in April. We can't wait to come back and check it out. read more

Met up with a couple friends to grab a beer and a bite to eat. Decided to start at Munkle to check it out and see what all it had going on. Thought they may have a food truck since it was a weekend night but they only had beer to offer which was still perfect nonetheless! We ended up enjoying ourselves enough to try a second pour before venturing off for dinner. The tasting room and bar area of the brewery is very spacious with tall ceilings that make you feel like you are sitting in a grand hall or the like. The decor is simple but fitting and there were several seating areas scattered around. We chose to sit outside overlooking the train tracks and although it got a bit noisy you are certainly sat far enough back that it's still pleasant even with a train passing by. There is a grassy area with cornhole boards by the back patio and we had fun picking up and playing a quick game. The owner and brewer himself was there and eagerly explained all about the start up of Munkle and we thoroughly enjoyed hearing his story about the origins of the name and initiation of the brewery itself! He graciously offered to take us back and give a quick tour of his operations, willingly answering questions from the experienced (my friend homebrews) and novices alike! To my knowledge they don't offer any scheduled tours of their facilities like many other breweries do but they are so friendly and welcoming that I imagine they would offer to share their story with any patron who showed genuine interest! I'm also a huge fan of dogs and was thrilled to see their four legged friend roaming around inside the brewery and tasting room. A couple other people brought their dog, too, so they're clearly very dog friendly! read more

I love drinking beer at local taprooms, especially when it is served by the person who made it. The decor of these establishments ranges from warehouse funky to tastefully finished. Munkle is modern, clean, and comfortable. Don't expect to see wines or shandys on the menu, just 5-6 super fantastic Belgian style brews ranging from light to dark. Thank you Palmer. read more

Munkle Brewing Co - Breweries Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Briefly stopped in here with a group of friends on Saturday; it was my first visit but I was in between visits so I didn't get a great feel for the place. We sat outside and hung out for a bit. The outside vibe was very cool and I can see this place being absolutely packed when it's truly nice out. We had two babies with us and felt completely at home, which isn't something I can say for all breweries. The beer I had was delicious and I can't wait to come back for a flight. read more

This place never updates their website and they do false advertising too. They advertise a food truck menu and there never is a food truck. They misrepresent themselves and make constant excuses for lying on their website. No food and they close early and don't follow business hour's advertised. Be weary of them. If you want food and beer - go elsewhere. read more

FINALLY! A Belgian focused brewery in Charleston. These guys are knowledgable, passionate, and thoughtful about their beer which has produced six (so far) tasty brews true to the traditions of Belgium. The tasting room is inviting and provides a great atmosphere to hang out. I came here with a group of people and the owner gave us a tour and answered our many, many questions. He was really welcoming and excited to share the Munkle story! Great place to learn. I see Shane's comment about "this is a place that is ALL about how THEY brew and what they do...so caught up in talking their talk to those who will listen". Truth! I didn't experience a long wait, but they are all about it, and rightly so - the brew they're making is unlike anything else being done in Charleston, and actually rare to find in the US. I guess the take away is that this is a beer geeks paradise, and those who aren't geeking out just need to be a little bit patient if they don't care to learn about what they're drinking. read more

This place is just pure class. Their beer is old World Belgian, with the highest of quality ingredients. The gents behind the counter know their beer and are happy to have a conversation and explain the processes. I always enjoy Munkle, the beer is phenomenal and the staff are even better. Cheers read more

Good beer, no argument there. But this is a place that is ALL about how THEY brew and what they do. Long wait for a beer with 4 people in here because they are so caught up in talking their talk to those that will listen. So many great breweries close by, I'm off to one that actually wants to serve a beer read more

Nice place. It's really spacious and has a modern, but rustic feel with really nice wooden bar/furniture. There's a cool outside area that will be nice when it isn't cold! Their dedicated parking lot is quite small, but you can park nearby. They brew Belgium-style beer, and had Blonde, Pale, Wit and Stout on tap when I was there. I tried the blonde, pale and wit, and they were all really smooth, great tasting beers. My favorite was the Wit, it definitely went down easy! This place isn't far from my office so I see more happy hours in my future. read more

My fiancé and I checked this place out tonight and was very good! Every beer we had was super good! We even got a six pack of beer for $12! The bartender was nice and helpful at recommending what beer we would like. They do have take out that you can get from a restaurant down the street. You can only sit outside right now but there are plenty of seating! read more

Great brewery! If you love Belgian style beer, go. If you don't, go. Will change your pallet. read more

Such a great spot! In a world of IPAs, give me Munkle. Don't get me wrong, I love IPAs, but with much of America's craft beer scene cranking out great (some not so great) IPAs, Munkle is throwing back the clock and brewing some of the oldest beer styles in history. I lived in Germany near the Belgian border for 5 years and these delicious beers take me back to those Trappist tastes that spurred my love for beer. Fantastic Belgian beers at Munkle. Great service. Great setting. Nice pool table. Laid back feel that fits so perfectly in Charleston. I can't wait to return, and I can't wait to see where Munkle goes, I'm guessing far! Drink local! read more

Beer was spot on - great customer service while we hung out and had a few tastings! Great atmosphere to hang out with friends! read more

Just phenomenal beer, the pool table is in perfect condition. The staff is always nice, and, I must add, much too generous with their sample pours. Can't stress enough how much my wife and I love coming here. It's our first stop on our way into Charleston. read more

I am personally not the biggest Belgian beer fan, but for what Munkle does, they do it well. As you can imagine, this review will mostly be based on ambiance for that reason. Munkle has a nice big space indoors with a small patio outdoors plus their own small parking lot and tons of free street parking (we love that in Charleston!). We always go when our favorite food trucks are there: Dough Boyz Pizza and Pub Fare burgers. One of my favorite parts of Munkle is that it's right on the train tracks, so you can watch all the trains go by as you sip your beer. If you like games, this is definitely the brewery for you. They have a pool table and a bunch of card games out for patrons to play. Especially if you like Belgian beer, make sure you stop at Munkle! read more
