VICTORY!! Beer Sales & Samples Now Legal!

On June 7, 2010 Governor Sanford signed House Bill 4572 into law. As we noted last month, the bill is a collaborative effort between the brewers, wholesalers and retailers to allow responsible sampling of South Carolina produced craft beers at the brewery and off premise retail shops.

The benefits will be wide reaching. We have given tours for years, but have not been able to have a sampling area, or sell beer to visitors. We now have the same opportunity for sampling and limited sales that wineries and distilleries in SC have had for years.

If you have not toured the brewery, we invite you to come visit! We will give you an overview of the brewing process from start to finish and show you all the equipment that transforms the grain into the nectar of the gods! We like the tours to be interactive, so don't be shy about asking questions. We are very proud of the beers we produce, and relish the chance to tell you all about them! You may be able to sample a test batch of one of Tom's newest creations or enjoy one of your old-time favorites fresh from the tap.

At the end of your tour, you can now purchase up to 288 oz. of beer per person per day (up to a case of beer, 4 1/2 gallon-size growlers, 2 gallon-size growlers). This is a tremendous way for us to promote Thomas Creek beers with existing fans and newcomers as well. We are inundated regularly by beer enthusiasts who wish to make direct beer purchases from us and we are thrilled that now we can accommodate those requests!

Beers currently available for sale:

Appalachian Amber Ale         Pump House Porter

Class Five IPA                       River Falls Red Ale

Deep Water Dopplebock       Stillwater Vanilla Cream Ale

Dirty Monk Belgian Porter *    Up The Creek Extreme IPA

Dockside Pilsner

* Available in growlers only.

As we are a small staff, we ask that you please call or email to set up a tour time. This is especially important if you would like to bring a group. Call (864) 605-1166 or email info@thomascreekbeer.com.

12th Anniversary for Thomas Creek!

July marks the 12th anniversary of Thomas Creek  Brewery! It seems like just yesterday that we began, but we have been at it for 12 great years!  Tom's brewing career began with homebrewing, and over the years he moved up through the ranks of  commercial brewpub brewing to the large scale microbrewery we are today. Thanks to everyone out there drinking Thomas Creek who helped the brewery get where it is today. We truly could not have done any of it without the loyal support and commitment of our fans. So this month, we raise a toast to you! Be on the lookout for a 12th Anniversary beer from Thomas Creek soon!

Meet The Brew Dogs

Our brewery wouldn't be complete without the brew dogs, Barley & Porter. On any given day when you come in for homebrew supplies or a tour, Barley and Porter will greet you at the door and expect a belly rub soon after. They get to come in to work at the crack of dawn every morning with Brewmaster Tom Davis and are put straight to work upon arrival. General duties include lapping up spilled beer, chasing cases of beer down the conveyer line and border patrol, what a hard job for them right? Barley & Porter are the brewery team mascots; you will even find their likeness on some of our promotional materials such as pint glasses and stickers. They bring a special kind of work ethic to Thomas Creek that could only come from the canine world. Not only do they put in their time, Barley & Porter brighten the place up with their cheerful attitudes and perky personalities. If you've never met them, stop by with a dog biscuit sometime!
