Second time here. We live close by. The inside is small but welcoming. We brought our dog so we sat outside as did others with dogs and kids. They had pubfare when we went which gave us a reason to come out so hopefully they will have more food trucks. It's a bare bones set up so that's why having a food truck helps. Overall. Nice people, the picnic tables are shaded in the afternoon. If they could add a bit more, I think more would come though there was a decent amount of people probably due to the burgers read more

Friendly beertender and a cool layout with the oval bar in the middle. Huge outdoor area but on this Tuesday there were only a handful of guests in the entire place. Blueberry Pie Gose Delightfully tart and fruity. It's sweet but quite tasty. A small pour is perfect. The malt they use even gives a hint of a bready crust. Carrot Cake Blonde Ale Definitely earthy aromas and very faint flavors of carrot, nutmeg, and cinnamon. There's even a little tangy finish that can remind you of cream cheese icing. It's not super sweet, which is nice. Glad to only have a small pour. I love carrot cake but I'm not in love with this beer. Mexican Cake Stout Habanero and Mexican vanilla Aromas of chocolate and vanilla hit you as you start to drink this delicious beer. The habanero is there and gives you just a little zing on the finish. Very smooth and velvety. Another small pour treat for me. I would definitely order this as a supper with any lighter or hoppier pint. IPA A bit of orange and pine on the nose. It's smooth drinking and very approachable. Slightly bitter and nicely dry. A good departure from the sweeter beers. read more

This is a really interesting taproom. It's kind of a big circle with the bar at the center. There are a handful of high top tables and barstools. It kind of looks like a fancy event space. But, I think the design may be strategic. Unlike other Charleston area breweries, this one wasn't crawling with kids, which was a really nice change. You can probably bring kids there, but the space isn't really a family friendly one, and I thank you for this, Westbrook! The beers are fantastically unique and inventive. We really enjoyed the dessert stouts. And the beer servers were a delight to chat with. read more

Westbrook beer is pretty good and it is definitely well known. You can order a bunch of these drinks all over South Carolina and North Carolina bars and restaurants. I am so proud that this is one of the first breweries to come from good old Mount Pleasant. They are representing our area well. What I find kind of shocking is the brewery experience inside. So far, I have never really been there when it was busy or popping off. You can certainly go inside and have a quiet drink, but it doesn't seem to really be a brewery that facilitates too much hanging around. That could just be the experience as I've had - I have probably been about four separate times - and actually that would be my only drawback of going to the place itself. Otherwise, I highly recommend the beer, the facility and brew area is nice and clean, and service is friendly with knowledgeable staff. Overall, it is worth it to check it out. The building exterior is beautiful. read more

Amazing beer. Peniminal tasting room at brewery. Friendly staff. What's not to like? This place is KING OF GOSE style beer. That is a sour beer with hint of saltiness. You either love gose or hate it. They offer many varieties of gose and I love them all. Mexican Cake is best chocolate stout with hot chillies that I have ever had. Extremely well balanced. They have multiple varieties. Original is superb. Antigua is a blend of their 2014-2020 Mexican cakes blanded together and is the best version in my opinion. The Tennessee Whiskey version is a bit too hot in alcohol. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop for a drink. read more

Mac approved brewery! we loved the outdoor area where we could bring our door and chill. We've always loved Westbrook beers (distributed locally) so no surprise we loved all the extra options on tap. I was a big fan of the blueberry pie sour. Only nit was food / snack options. The food truck cancelled on them the day we were there read more

I stopped by here after dinner on Valentine's Day about 30 mins before closing. The ladies behind the bar were so friendly and welcoming. Since I like to try different beers, I decided on the flight, which was only $10 for 4 7 oz pours. To me, that was a winning deal! I decided on all 4 of the higher ABV stouts and loved them all! The beers were great, the ambiance was great and the staff was so friendly, even considering the time! Overall great experience! I grabbed some of the S'mores to-go and a couple of Crowlers @ $3 (Valentine's Special) for the babysitter and left a Happy Camper! Such a great end to the night! read more

More craft beer adventuring! Always love doing it especially during warmer weather like so many other people like to do. Which makes tourist season such a bustling thing because the warm weather drives people to explore ! Speaking of warmer weather the beer we had from Westbrook was highly appropriate for the season. The Beer To Drink When It's Hot Outside an appropriately named lager provided the refreshing sensation we needed for such a warm day. The crispness and hint of lime was a very nice touch for summertime beer drinking! read more

Westbrook Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina in December 2010. It was founded by husband and wife Edward and Morgan Westbrook. When the couple were dating in college, Morgan challenged Edward to begin home-brewing. The couple soon realized that they could make a lot of money if they sold their own beer... money that could pay for college tuition or bills. They decided to open their own brewery and picked Mount Pleasant as the location in order to be close to their families. At the time, the Greater Charleston area had very few breweries. Five months after opening the brewery, the Westbrooks got married and Edward brewed a special beer for the reception. That beer was "Mexican Cake": an Imperial Stout brewed with habaneros, cinnamon, vanilla and cocoa nibs. Today, Westbrook Brewing is one of the most renowned breweries in the Greater Charleston craft beer scene and "Mexican Cake" is their most sought after beer (now available every May as the brewery's anniversary beer). I recently visited Westbrook Brewing while I was on an East Coast Road Trip. My family and I were visiting our cousins who live in Summerville (right outside of Charleston). I was very excited because I've wanted to visit the area's brewery scene for years. I was familiar with Westbrook Brewing for their various collaborations with one of my favorite breweries: Evil Twin Brewing. I stopped by on a Thursday evening and was surprised to see that there was only a small handful of customers there. I pulled up a seat by the bar in their beautiful tasting room and ordered a flight of four different IPAs. My favorite was the "Fluffernutter Shake IPA" which tasted just like a fluffernutter sandwich! There were so many beers to taste, so I decided to order a second flight which consisted of "Triple Pineapple Shake IPA", "11th Anniversary Chocolate & Caramel Stout", and "Mexican Cake" (2022 & 2016 Vintages). Before leaving, I had to order a glass of "Tequila Barrel Aged Mexican Cake" (2016 Vintage). It was so strong but also so full of flavor. It was easily the best beer of the evening. I'm glad that I can finally cross Westbrook Brewing off my bucket list. read more

The beers at Westbrook fall into two categories: liquid malt, and liquid candy. A flight isn't cheap but the most economical way to go here. Service is just a 1-person counter. A bit echoey of a spot to hang out. Outdoor seating but not shaded, it's no beer garden. read more

I have always been a big fan of Westbrook, so I knew I needed to check out their taproom when I was in the area. When you pull up, it looks like the building/taproom is pretty large, and it is, however the area where you get your drinks and sit, is pretty small. However, there is alot of parking in the area. I did a flight and tried some of their delicious drinks. My favorite was the Rice Crispy one that literally gave you an aftertaste of rice crisps, and their pineapple triple IPA. They had various sours, IPA's, and really any time of beer you were looking for on tap, and had a great selection of drinks to go. read more

Visiting from out of town and we were really excited to come here due to the beer. We pulled into the parking lot 20 minutes after they "opened" and someone got out of their car to tell us the opener was running late. Came back at around 6:00 and there's not a single person in sight. Tried the doors with no luck. Did we just not feel like working today?? Needless to say... we were told that this is a normal occurrence. Maybe give them a call before you get in the car to head there... Update your hours if they're not right!! You're wasting people's time. read more

Big name brewery with constantly rotating taps! I do agree with other reviews that it would be nice to have some merchandise, and the service could be better. This brewery definitely has potential to be poppin. I've been here several times, and there's just something that's off or missing about the atmosphere/service. But! The beer is almost dependably great! read more

Westbrook Brewing Co - Breweries Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

The beer selection is great. The taproom is very small. There is outdoor seating. They seem more into selling in big volume.

We're big craft beer fans, so coming to Charleston, we knew that this would be on the list. Westbrook definitely produced some of the better beers compared to the other breweries in the area. The Maximum Florida grapefruit sour was absolutely delicious and refreshing on the warm June day. We tried out their renowned Mexican Cake stout that had big heat behind the dark stout. Also opted to upgrade our flight to include a barrel-aged beer and we were glad we did since the pecan cookie stout was very sweet, but good. It's not listed anywhere, but you can get a flight of four pours for $15 and if you want to include any of their barrel-aged beers, it's upcharged to $22. Kind of a steep price even if you are just trying to include one barrel-aged beer. The taproom space is a bit underwhelming. Not much space for large parties indoors, but lots of larger picnic tables outdoors. They only had their indoor bar open, but the bartender was super nice and was able to also get drinks for you from the outdoor bar, which had more frozen cocktails - that are insanely boozy, just by the way. With that, not much food aside from a few bags of chips to offer or any games you'd typically find in a taproom. read more

It's like being a kid and meeting Santa Claus, only to discover its some skinny dude in a beard. I enjoy their beers, but as a destination it's not the best space to enjoy the BEETUS. Small taproom for how much beer is produced and how far reaching their distribution is. I was expecting something larger, an experience. Sorta underwhelmed. Best part is the BEETUS bottle cellar for on-site consumption. The outdoor area is big and lit with cornhole. Dogs are allowed outdoors. Parking is tight. read more

So we did a mini self-guided Chucktown brewery tour/crawl...13 breweries in 3 days. Charles Towne Fermentory on the west side of the city was my favorite if you were wondering at all, but that's likely because they're geared toward what I like (New England style unfiltered murky IPA's). Westbrook Brewing Co. was good, but fell just out of my top 5 as they didn't have any NE Style IPA's that day that loved me. Not a ton of parking here as lots of spots are taken up by employees. Large manufacturing/warehouse facility, with an appropriate sized tasting room. Good Wifi strempth and good a.c. too. Must haves down here in the tidal plain. Beers here ain't cheap, but they do have lots and lots to choose from. They brew a ton of beer here and lots and lots of variants of their well-known Mexican Cake. We tried several and really liked a collab stout beer they did with Evil Twin called OFMYD (they wouldn't tell us what this stands for) that rang the bell at 12.8 percent ABV and rocked my socks hard core. Really, really, really liked this stout. Most of their pints range from 5 to 8 dollars and you can easily expect at least a dozen home brews from which to choose. And yes, they do flights! Cheap flights. 4 tasters for $8.85 after the tax man. Score. Downer...blasting hip hop in the tap room. Not into that. I likes me the rock-n-rolla. read more

I went to prolly 6-breweries in Charleston, North Charleston, Mt Pleasant and for pure beer quality this was the best one. And I've got the cred, certified micro-brewery expert. Check out my collections (use to be called "Lists" for us old school yelpers...): https://www.yelp.com/collection/_vgzMlZcCZjQUv2vUC8h9g This validates my expertise. And now, back to the yelp review. So 'rona, 'rona time, yeah I get it... Sit outside etc... I don't have a full flavor for the brewery experience etc.. And locale wise, this place is not ideal. And actually, I drove by it several times and didn't even know it was there.. But, the most important part... The beers were really good! I picked up a 4-pack of the rinse repeat and brought it back with me to Nola and its real good. I had a stout or porter when I was there, also very good. Thus, we get a nice review. read more

The venue is lovely, somewhat remote. The beer was outstanding especially the Coconaughty aged in Blanton bourbon barrels. I'd go back just for that. read more

Westbrook makes great beer, but their taproom had a lot to desire. There were loose cleaning supplies lying around, bathrooms that were filthy and the server when we went on a Sunday, who appeared to just want everyone in the taproom to leave. The taproom had a good 20 people in it, and the bartender called last call about 45 minutes before close. I saw a customer come in a few minutes after she called last call. He tried to order a beer and she refused him one. This is terrible for such an out-of-the-way taproom. I felt so bad for the guy, that I got up and figured I'd buy him a beer on my last-call order so that he wouldn't have a bad experience. When I try to order a last call round, the bartender informed me that she had closed the tabs for everyone in the taproom and wasn't letting anyone else order a beer. THAT IS NOT WHAT A LAST CALL IS. LAST CALL MEANS YOU CAN ORDER ANOTHER LAST ROUND. What if people wanted to buy merch? Buy a four-pack? They'd have to reopen a tab because of this terrible lady. I was so upset at her lack of customer service, that this poor guy couldn't purchase a beer, and all I wanted to do is never drink another Westbrook beer ever again for having such a bad taproom experience. Customer ALWAYS comes first and there is a severe lack of training in that taproom. What a shame. read more

As a fan of sour beer, Westbrook is Mecca! I posted more pictures than I usually do, just because for such a small indoor space, the varieties seemed endless. The large display hanging above the taps showcased the bottled selection - they also had these on the dry shelves and some in coolers, ready to go. The mixture of true gose (pronounced GO -Sah) and kettle sours certainly helps with the prolific selection. We originally had a bead on coming here during a long weekend visit to Charleston and found it easily through google maps, even though we meandered through skinny tree-lined streets for quite a ways. It was certainly worth the trip! We had to figure out the paved parking was for the offices, and parked in the correct gravel lot. If that lot is too small, then they must be busting at the seams inside, which was small by any standard. Thank goodness for the outdoor patio, with picnic tables and cornhole. We got a place at the bar where any bar keep could help us with our selections - and we both got flights of 4 in 5 oz glasses. They were also willing to serve small tastes from the draft taps. I don't think they had the bottles open for serving, but I believe you could buy it there and get it opened for a corking fee. There is a standing section for ordering from the bar, which I really appreciate as a bar patron. It's really uncomfortable sometimes when people lean all over you, beside and behind you to get a drink from the bar, when they don't have that area marked for standing orders. So "Thanks" for that! They clearly have loyal patronage as many came in for to-go selections and "one for the road". We didn't stay long, as I was a bit hungry and the only thing served were kettle chips and big pretzels. (Normally, I would knosh on a pretzel, but I'm currently on a keto phase) So we headed out to find a bit more than a snack. Yep, I was loaded down with a 6-pack of the White Thai and a small koozie swag. Thank you Westbrook for making sours "King!" read more

I was a little surprised how small the interior bar area is as compared to size of the building and the brand name. A circular/oval bar with 2, 4 and 6 top pub tables around. We stopped by Friday night around 6pm, but just 1 bartender working. What I really didn't like is having to get in line to order, maybe they feel this works. We enjoyed a flight each, as I had the Dark Helmet, Blueberry Weiss, Evil Twin, and Saison. Liked most, favorite was the Dark Helmet. My husband had the White Chai, and that was definitely the best. Soon the bar area filled up with more people, and the outside entrance had some playing cornhole. Westbrook brewery is decent enough, but nothing made me want to come back. Maybe I've grown attached to a nearby competitor. But try it for yourself. read more

I was excited to go after trying the Key Lime Gose at EVO and seeing all of the sours they have on tap. I understand things are going to be different with covid going around, but it definitely wasn't just a covid thing. We were the only ones at the whole place. Currently, you go in, order, and then there is outdoor seating. Currently you also cannot order samples or a flight (bummer, I would've liked to try every sour). Anyway, when I asked a couple questions about two of the different sours, I was met with a "you can download our menu and they have more of an explanation there." Seriously? There is not one other living single person here! That's a lame answer. It would be nice to have a conversation and see your thoughts on a beer at the place that you're working at... isn't that part of the job? Anyway... three stars for the beers... the beer is good. But... when I go to a brewery, I'm also going for the feel, for the conversation, to have a good time. There are other places I can go to get that I guess and I'll just buy my Westbrook sours at Total Wine and go home. Bummer. My hubs who is super super laid back only got one beer because he was so off-put by the bartender, he just wanted to leave. What a letdown as far as the environment. read more

This brewery has great curb appeal compared to a lot of the other breweries in the area and they were working on improving their outdoor space while we were there. I really liked the concept of the oval bar in the middle of the room with extra seating against the walls surrounding it. The bar staff was super friendly and attentive despite how busy they were. We split two flights and tried the following: Three Claw: Awesome! IPA: Pretty Good! Jaune: I know it said aged 2 years... but it tastes like straight liquor. Key Lime Gose: I think I might be drinking a derivative of Vinegar. Fruit/Wood/Time: Pretty dang sour but better than the Key Lime one. India Pale Lager: Not my favorite but drinkable. Vienna Lager: Pretty comparable to competitors. I like it! Evil Twin Erase and Rewind #18: A little bit lighter than the Three Claw but pretty tasty! I'm only giving them three stars because I wasn't totally sold on most of the beer I tried. I've also had their White Thai, One Claw, and Two Claw at local eating establishments and although I think those three are fairly good beers, I'm not totally in love with them either. It's location is kinda out of the way for me and with a lot of better options closer, I probably won't go to this place too often. Definitely worth checking out at least once though. read more

Although a known brewery, Westbrook has been dated. The space itself is very bland, and there isn't a scene going.

Westbrook Brewing Co - two people holding cups of beer - Breweries Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Visited this brewery on a Sunday (newly opened on Sundays 12-6pm) and they were a few minutes late to open. No big deal, super friendly staff and apologized for the late open. Inside is small with minimal but comfortable seating. Larger area outside in what looks like it used to be a parking lot. Nothing fancy, just picnic tables and a little shaded section. I have enjoyed Westbrook beer for many years but I have to say I was extremely underwhelmed by this brewery. Nothing made me want to stay longer than just one beer. I was disappointed to see they did not have a sour on tap. Only when a keg went out did they put a sour on (we were about to leave). The beers on tap seemed quite heavy for a hot Summer day. The brewery also had little to no merchandise. Not that this is a deal breaker but I just found it odd. I had looked forward to finally checking this brewery out and have to say, I have no plans of returning. I'll continue to enjoy their beers but will skip the trek out to the brewery in the future. read more

When wanting to stop at a brewery after work, this is the one that's most convenient. After going to others nearby, it falls in comparison. The staff seems a little uppity. I've been to others where they are way more personable and quick to offer suggestions. Matt and I were looking for a Christmas beer for something to do before an event in the area and we heard they had two. They were already out. Okay it happens but offer something I may like to try instead. We decided to go to another one and so glad we did. The vibe here is more stuffy and I'm a fan of the relaxed and more welcoming feeling you get in some of the others around town. read more

With the heat of Charleston, this is good brewery to head to since it's taproom is indoors. This brewery became popular with their special brews and some of the contract brewing they do for Evil Twin. I'm not into sour beers, but Gose style is really big here too. They have about ten other beers to sample besides the sour ones though. I always recommend this brewery to those that I feel aren't too into a rustic brewery--as it's more upscale. The taproom is really clean and my parents thought the bathrooms were very nice. I guess that's their way of saying they aren't beer folk. read more

Solid service, you can only order at the bar - so if they are busy you may wait in line for a few mins... but hey, no big deal.

Drove here from Savannah just because I have been wanting to try their Mexican chocolate stout for a while now. It's hard to find these in bottles. I love stouts and this one didn't disappoint. I had the Biscotti Chocolate one and it was great, highly recommend if if you love stouts! If you don't love stouts, they have other beers you can try- $8 for a flight of 5 beers. It's a great price! The food choices are limited- pretzel and cheese. I didn't get a chance to try it. I am not sure if they have tours but I would have definitely gone on one if they announced. It's a great place to chill with friends, Cheers! read more

Clearly they're doing well, their building is so clean and well organized and large. I will admit that we were one of the people to arrive at 30 minutes before last call, but we got our pints quickly and were done when everyone else started leaving too. That being said, a smile from the bartender would have been nice. Their beers are always good, but I was bummed out about the flights. You could not get any of the starred beers in a flight which left you with the common beers you see around town everywhere. I already know what those taste like, I want to try the new ones without getting a whole pint first. read more
