Carolina Bauernhaus Brewery & Winery™ is a hybrid farmhouse brewery and winery based in Anderson, SC. Our hand crafted ales, ciders, and meads pay homage to the rich agricultural resources of Upstate South Carolina and the region by using locally sourced malt, grains, yeast, and hops. While our brewing techniques may be Belgian inspired, our beers are by no means reverent to tradition.

From Carolina Bauernhaus’ taproom in downtown Anderson SC to our brewery and beer garden in Greenville SC, we strive to create a family of unique beers that range from approachable saisons to challenging barrel aged sour beers.
