York Chester Brewing ~ Belmont, NC
One small business is smaller than most. In fact, it is tiny by comparison to similar concepts throughout the Carolina’s. The York Chester Brewing Company, founded by Jarvis Roberts and his wife Julia, is a nano brewery that opened it’s tiny taproom in one small corner of the Riverside Complex at 1500 Riverside Drive #250 in late 2016.
Brewery 85 ~ Greenville, SC
Since South Carolina loosened up the rules for Breweries in the Palmetto State, Greenville, in the Upstate area has witnessed a renaissance in craft beer. We took a road trip along I-85 to checkout the areas craft beer scene and get a little taste of what’s to come.
Founded in 2014, Brewery 85 is a craft Microbrewery in Greenville that specializes in what they call “Marrying Southern culture with Craft Beer Spirit.”
We made our trek to the Brewery 85 taproom / brewery at 6 Whitlee just one week after the Clemson Tigers upset the Alabama Crimson Tide in the College Football Playoff National Championship. We should have known that the folks in Greenville, located just 45-minutes from Clemson University, would still be celebrating. The whole town was in party mode and parking was a challenge.
Brew Newz ~ D9 Brewing Co. Expands Again
The D9 Brewing Company located at 11138 Treynorth Dr in Cornelius, North Carolina is no stranger to change. Founders Aaron Burton, John Ashcroft, and Andrew Durstewitz started home brewing in a garage. Needless to say, the trio quickly became neighborhood favorites for all sorts of parties and events. Fortunately for us word of their brews spread beyond the cul-de-sac leading to their launching the D9 Brewing Company in 2013.
Since opening their doors to the public, the success of D9 has been nothing short of amazing and has resulted in one relocation and another expansion. Their first upgrade occurred in 2014 when they moved to their current site just off of Old Statesville Road in Cornelius. In 2016 D9 once again started the expansion process and now occupies the entire 10,000 sq ft. office park building they settled in in 2014.
