Charles Towne Fermentory Celebrates 10 Years With Three-Day Anniversary Weekend Across Charleston
The Charleston brewery marks a decade with special beer releases, live entertainment, local vendors, and animal adoption events December 4–6.
Charleston’s craft beer community has something special to celebrate this December. Charles Towne Fermentory is turning 10, and the locally owned brewery is marking the milestone with a three-day anniversary celebration across its Avondale, West Ashley, and James Island locations.
Taking place December 4–6, 2026, the weekend will feature special anniversary beer releases, DJs, live music, local food vendors, artisan markets, and opportunities to support animal adoption efforts.
Since opening in 2016, Charles Towne Fermentory has grown from a neighborhood brewery into a three-location operation while maintaining its focus on craft beer and community connections.
Rather than hosting one big party, the brewery is spreading the celebration across three days, giving each location its own opportunity to shine.
Friday, December 4: Anniversary Kickoff in Avondale
Time: 6–9 PM
Location: Charles Towne Fermentory, 809 Savannah Highway, Charleston, SC 29407
The celebration begins where it all started: Charles Towne Fermentory’s original Avondale taproom.
Friday’s festivities will feature DJ Cowboy Montana, special anniversary beer releases from the brewery’s cellar, and the debut of exclusive 10th anniversary merchandise.
Guests can also enjoy oysters available for purchase from Shots & Vin and food from Rebel Taqueria. A Polaroid station will give attendees a chance to capture memories from the milestone celebration.
For longtime supporters, Friday offers an opportunity to revisit past beer releases while celebrating a decade of the brewery’s history.
Saturday, December 5: Music, Local Vendors, and Dog Adoptions at The Garden
Time: 2–8 PM
Location: The Garden at Charles Towne Fermentory, 1331 Ashley River Road, Charleston, SC 29407
Saturday brings a full afternoon of entertainment, food, shopping, and community activities to The Garden.
The lineup includes DJs, live music, and performances throughout the celebration.
A vendor market featuring more than 10 local businesses will provide an opportunity to support Charleston-area entrepreneurs and artisans.
Food options will include Big Tent Pizza, The Castejons, and King of Pops.
Saturday will also feature a dog adoption event with Colleton County Animal Shelter, giving attendees the chance to meet animals looking for homes.
Sunday, December 6: Pilates, Football, and Cat Adoptions on James Island
Celebration: Noon–4 PM
Free Pilates class: 11 AM
Location: Charles Towne Fermentory James Island Taproom, 1750 Signal Point Road, Suite 900, Charleston, SC 29412
The anniversary weekend concludes with a relaxed Sunday gathering at the James Island taproom.
Activities begin with a free Pilates class at 11 AM, ahead of the main celebration at noon.
Guests can enjoy lunch bites available for purchase from Baguette Magic, football, music, and anniversary merchandise.
Colleton County Animal Shelter will return for a cat adoption event from noon until 3 PM.
The final day offers another opportunity to celebrate the brewery while supporting local animal welfare efforts.
Celebrating Community Beyond Craft Beer
While the anniversary recognizes 10 years of brewing, Charles Towne Fermentory is also using the occasion to give back.
A portion of proceeds from the anniversary weekend will benefit Colleton County Animal Shelter.
With dog and cat adoption opportunities incorporated into the festivities, the celebration extends beyond beer and entertainment to support animals in need.
The weekend also highlights local businesses, food vendors, musicians, and artisans who contribute to Charleston’s community culture.
