Want a behind-the-scenes look at one of our SC brewing companies? We’re hoppy to give you one.

🍻 Meet the brewery

Founded in 2021, Peak Drift Brewing quickly captured a presence in the capital city with its 25,000-square-foot production facility on Main St. in downtown Columbia, located in the former Stone Manufacturing Company manufacturing facility (listed on the National Register of Historic Places).

👩‍🔬 Meet the master brewer

The company is headed by brewer Ashley Kinart-Short, hailing from the Midwest where she took the Wisconsin beer scene by storm before becoming a Carolinian. As one of the only female master brewers in the nation, she brings her 15 years of brewing experience to Peak Drift.

📍 Where to find them

This past fall, Greenville welcomed the brewery to the Upstate at Fall for Greenville and the iconic Euphoria Greenville. In 2024, Peak Drift plans to share more of its award-winning craft beers, hard seltzers, and non-alcoholic beverages around the Upstate.
