Whether Stone comes to South Carolina or not, the change in law alters the landscape for how breweries and brewpubs in the state can do business — and, advocates say, could serve to land other big breweries, similar to the multimillion-dollar expansions of West Coast breweries into western North Carolina.


Dont want to count my enjoy by's before their hatched, but this is win-win

Apparently SC is one of the places they're considering for their expansion. This new law goes a long way toward being more brewery friendly.

Gambrinus in San Antonio?? I've been in Austin 10 yrs with frequent trips to SA. However, I've not heard of this brewer. What am I missing? What are their labels? At #4, HEB has to carry them right?

So basically the new law says if a brewery wants to sell their own beer for onsite consumption they can do it as long as the open a restaurant??

They can currently sell up to 48oz for onsite consumption. They also have a limit to number of barrels they can produce per year. Production limits go away, and if they serve food, then the 48oz limit goes away too.

The idea is to attract the larger breweries (Stone) and allow the smaller existing ones to grow.

A large number of breweries including CCB do collabs to avoid the issue of becoming a "macro micro" as it hides some of their production volume.



Don't know if this was covered or not but what exactly is the advantage of this?

Collabs allow the Brewery to expand into markets it may not usually have access to and the volume is either split among the collaborating partners or taken on entirely by the brewery where it was brewed. For instance, the Widmer/CCB collab was brewed at Widmer. CCB got sales and revenue and didn't have to count the volume toward its total production. By shifting some brews offsite or to contract brewing sites you can keep your "micro" title while producing "macro" volumes.

The craft beer crowd reacts poorly when you get "too big"..

Any Panther, Tiger, M-60 or Abrams trees?

I wish money grew on trees.

Thanks for the heads up concerning volume. Now, it makes more sense.

The only surprise to me is Alaskan Brewing Co. I dont think I've ever seen or had one of their beers.

I've had several, and they are solid, but nothing to write home about 


I think their white wheat ale is pretty tasty.

They must be doing something right to make this list.

I understand the revenue aspect of it but do you really think they're worried about "how big" they seem to appear to people??

That seems like it would be the least of anyone's worries.

If they have ever talked to a marketing company they would be aware of it.

Exclusivity brings higher brand value and desire. It isnt just beer.

So they're in places like NYC and Philly to make it harder to get ahold of locally in FL?

Probably some sort of ratio of people hyping it versus availability. Vermont buys up all available supply and talks about how great it is, suddenly everyone has to try.

Pliny, Heady, FW have all fallen into this category on this board alone.

Not saying that availability is the end all, but if a brewery is looking to keep production numbers down I could see this as a reason. However strange that seems.
