Toasted malt notes with a dry crisp finish. Enjoy with food and friends. Palmetto Brewery first served Charleston's thirst in the 1850s, operating through the War of Northern Aggression, the earthquake of 1886, and a major hurricane; but the brewery failed to survive prohibition. We resurrected the tradition in 1993, becoming the first brewery to operate in South Carolina since prohibition. Still located in the historic city of Charleston, our beer is truly handcrafted in small batches. Amber Ale: This English-style amber ale is handcrafted by meticulously combining seven different malts to produce a toasted, nutty malt profile. Our medium bodied beer is balanced by a clean hop finish producing what is a flavorful and refreshing complement to your meal. Enjoy with food and friends! This photo taken circa 1888 shows brewery owner John Doscher with his staff of brewers, coopers and patrons sharing a few pints. Honoring this tradition, we invite you to join us for a tour and a refreshing pint. Visit our website palmettobrewery.com for locations and hours.
