Tradesman

Founded by husband and wife team, Scott and Sara Gayle Mcconnell, Tradesman opened as the first brewery on James Island in April 2014 and became part of the growing Charleston beer community. Our new facility is on King Street and is capable of producing almost 3000 barrels of beer annually.

Scott and Sarah Gayle had extensive home brewing experience, which fueled their dream of starting their own commercial brewery.
Co-owner Chris Winn joined the team in January of 2015 with years of brewery experience and a love of local beer.
We sell draft and canned beer all over South Carolina and are proud to be part of some of the best beer lists in the state.
Successful collaboration with several food trucks weekly. Having food routinely on site allows customers to safely consume more than one pint when they are here.
National medals that we will use to leverage and promote our “Well Built Beer”. Our first ever barrel aged beer won a Gold Medal in Kentucky at the Alltech Commonwealth Cup in 2016.
Produce consistent, quality beer with no “off flavors” as we scale up production.
