River Dog Brewing Company
591 Browns Cove Road North
Suite H
Ridgeland, SC 29936
RDBC has quickly earned the respect of serious craft beer enthusiasts in the Lowcountry. They offer a variety of styles but they are highly regarded for their IPAs and their barrel-aging program. Their tasting room is open Tuesday through Saturday (check their website for specifics) and they offer tours as well. If you’d rather take beer home to enjoy, pick up a freshly filled growler!
