S.C. brewers seek less restrictive regulatory environment
Breweries in South Carolina are once again pushing for more lenient regulations across the state, hoping to bolster the state’s craft beer boom.
Chris Brown, co-owner of Holy City Brewing in North Charleston and president of the S.C. Brewers Guild, said this year’s legislative agenda is the biggest push the guild has made.
Other big legislative pushes by the guild include the 2007 “pop the cap” law, which allowed beer above 5% alcohol by weight to be brewed in the state and the 2013 “pint law” allowing breweries to sell beer for on-site consumption.
