Greenville makes a lot of great craft beer. Local brewers are constantly tapping their creative juices to drum up crafty collaborations, standout recipes, and fun names for their frothy masterpieces.
We’re raising a glass to a few Greenville-centric brews with names that draw inspiration from our city’s history, communities, and culture.
OG’ville, Thomas Creek Brewery
We’re just as obsessed with this beer’s beautiful can as we are its taste. Featuring an image of the Liberty Bridge over the Reedy River, we can’t help but think that the can would make a great piece of decor — and not just for college students.
Style + flavor: A citrus forward, 6.8% ABV hazy New England IPA, this brew also features a slightly tropical flavor.
Rallyville Lager, New Realm Brewing
The official craft beer of the Greenville Drive was “crafted to bring our community together in celebration.” You can find the beer at baseball games, nearby supermarkets, several local restaurants, and at New Realm Brewing.
Style + flavor: This 4.5% ABV, golden amber Vienna-style lager is made with malts, hops, and Atlanta water.
Holland Park Lager, Double Stamp Brewery
A nod to Double Stamp Brewery’s home in the Holland Park mixed-use development, this brew also feels like an ode to Greenville’s growing community.
Style + flavor: This light, 4.5% ABV lager is a classic, beer-tasting beer that goes down easy. It was brewed with 25% flaked maize to keep its body and color as light as possible.
Bonus beer: Live Work Play, The Southern Growl
While this lager is technically all Greer, we can’t help but share the love — a portion of proceeds from Live Work Play’s sales are donated to Greer Relief.
Style + flavor: At 4.7% ABV, Live Work Play is crisp and easy to drink. It also features “an elegant malt character and rustic flair.”
Cheers to you, GVL.
