    This is my type of brewery - very personable and friendly. Nothing trendy or pretentious about this place. You go for beer and the AMAZING farm hangout. You are literally out in the middle of a farm, with cows, chickens and quiet. A barn is the main "tap room" where you'll meet local help and most likely the owner. Next door is a building that houses the brewing and bottling, and a common outdoor space connects the two - with seating abundant everywhere. You will meet dogs, cows, and possibly see someone chug a 4,000 ml graduated cylinder of beer. The most relaxing, peaceful and fun brewery that I will be visiting again!

    Brian and the crew at Benford Brewery in Lancaster, SC have really taken the craft brew revolution in the Carolina's to a whole new level. I absolutely love everything they brew up, especially the Problem Solver Imperial IPA which boasts an amazing 11.5% ABV. Crazy Good Now the brewery is not open daily, so this isn't a stop by location except on most Saturday's from Noon 'til 5PM. When you stop in, you'll get to hangout and sip beers in a picnic style setting both inside and out. Don't be surprised if a few of the cattle onsite wander over to participate. This is a working agricultural operation so be aware you're going to be out there in the great outdoors. They have several events throughout the year, so there are ample opportunities to visit the operation and taste their beer right from the source. We do this....often. Most recently they held Benford Bash. They had giant beer pong, powered wheelbarrow racing, giant jump castles, and live music, as well as food trucks and other games for the whole family. Fun. The good news about Benford is they have a lot of local joints in North and South Carolina that carry their cans and serve their beer on tap, so keep your eyes open. Benford is a brewery on the rise and I can't think of a better group of people who deserve to be known by the craft beer world. Kudos Folks! Benford is #BeerWeLove!

    What started as a day strawberry picking in Lancaster....ended as one of the best days we've had in a while. All thanks to Benford Brewing. You immediately feel like you are part of the family. The puppies greeted us as we pulled up. We had a few beers and visited the food truck. The employees were beyond nice. As we went to leave, Brian stopped our 4 year old and asked if he'd like to see the baby chicks. He spent over a half hour with us looking at the chicks, cows, and exploring the farm. I can't say enough about this brewery. I can't wait to go back.

    See all

    Excellent stout and fun atmosphere! They have trivia on…read moreTuesdays and good beer. I like the Neapolitan stout for chocolate infused stouts. Parking in the lot.

    After my wife chose to visit the area for her birthday weekend, she continued doing some research…read moreand found Southern Range. We decided to check it out before heading to our hotel. We arrived about 7:30pm on a Friday evening. Parking was easy in a nearby lot and we could hear what sounded like live music as we walked toward the building. Sure enough, lucky for us, a live duo was playing on a small stage in front of the outdoor seating. "Sweet Talkin' Johnny" began singing songs from Tom Petty and we knew we wanted to sit and listen for a while. The interior is decorated with fun pictures throughout, which we loved. The portrait of Kramer from Seinfeld was perfect. My wife also reported the women's room has the famous picture of a naked Burt Reynolds from the Cosmopolitan magazine circa 1972. The men's room has the vintage classic poster of Farrah Fawcett and artwork of a dude on a toilet. We did not ask much about their variety of beers after finding the "Big Ass Umbrella" IPA, but we believe they have 16 taps, which, we think include both a variety of their own beers as well as other hard beverages such as seltzers and ciders. They also have a cooler full of assorted 4/6 packs which can be purchased. Tonight we were fortunate enough they had a food truck/trailer serving Nashville Hot Chicken in addition to the live music. Overall, an awesome experience!
