Kite Hill is exactly what Clemson needed! The location in Patrick Square is perfect--great outdoor space and a really relaxing vibe whether you're there for a date night or hanging out with the family. The beer list is impressive with 16 taps; I love that they have a mix of everything from crisp lagers to really creative sours and IPAs. But honestly, do not sleep on the food. It's way better than standard brewery snacks. The Giant Soft Pretzel with pimento cheese is a must-order, and the sandwiches (especially the Pimento Club) are legit. We also love that it's family-friendly without feeling like a playground. Great staff, great brews, and great food. Highly recommend! read more

Hidden gem. Ample indoor and outdoor seating. Board games, AC and good brews. They also have a small menu of sandwiches and snacks to order from. Great laid back spot to ride solo, get laptop work done, meet a friend, or bring the whole family. read more

A fantastic place to enjoy an afternoon! The sandwiches are on point and the beers I've tried have all been stellar. It's bar service so be prepared for that, but the staff is super helpful. Also the pimento cheese is perhaps the best in the state. It's family friendly and has an outdoor space for dogs - a must visit whenever I'm in town! read more

Are you looking for some good brews while you're in town for the Clemson game? Kite Hill brewing offers a copious amount of beer options, so there's likely going to be something everyone will like! They also offer some food options if you find yourself craving some non drinkable carbs. The inside of the brewery pays tribute to Clemson University and also gives a more industrial vibe! The real selling point of this brewery is their covered patio area and adjacent grass area, so you can bring your kids or furry friends. During my visit, I enjoyed a flight of beers (4 beers) and the bartender was more than happy to provide some recommendations. While all of the beers were good, my favorite was the pretty as a peach. Definitely recommend giving this place a try! Cheers! read more

I really love the ambiance of the patio here with backyard games and picnic tables. The brewery was clean and well maintained inside. There was only bar service when we were there. There weren't many staff working but they did a great job of getting food and drinks to the customers. The beers were unique and really tasty! There was only soft pretzel was amazing. read more

Kite Hill Brewing - Childhood friends reunite over a couple of IPAs. - Breweries Near Me - Clemson, South Carolina

Apparently, these folks haven't been open long; and, it shows a little. We walked in, and no one greeted us or gave instructions or an invitation to be seated. You just have to notice the sign at the bar that says, "Order Here." Okay. We ordered the Meat and Cheese Charcuterie Board, $23; and the Reuben on gluten-free bread, $10. I would definitely go back based on our enjoyment of these two dishes. The person who took our drink order seemed to be unsure of what they actually had. I ordered a ginger beer, as per the menu, but he gave me a kombucha. The ginger beer was not listed as a kombucha, so ... When our food came, no napkins or utensils accompanied the food, so I had to go to the bar and request them. A young man gave me some napkins, and delivered a fork, but said there were no knives. That would be expected with a charcuterie board. Even if you had not received your utensil order, you could at least pick up something at Publix. But, again, the food was good, so I wouldn't mind eating there again. Give it a try; especially if you like a good IPA. read more

I'm a fan! We stopped by for a flight and decided to eat. My wife had their pimento cheese sandwich which was great. Fried green tomato, spinach, pimento cheese, and Hampton Acres chow chow on sourdough... I had the Reuben which was pretty much a classic Reuben... We tried several of their beers. Most notable to me was the sour which was extra sour. They mention that is is like "sweet tarts" and I agree. It's made with blackberry puree. The Lactobacillus has been working overtime to get to this level of tart. Their Gose was good as was the Banana Bread Imperial Stout... The place is in a nice area. Great atmosphere. A bit loud at times. All sorts of people from families with all ages of kids to College students with dates to some quite mature folks enjoying a good beer. Nice place, I would come back. read more

About time 2 Clemson alumni open up a great space for craft beer and fun. Anna our bartender was amazing (another alumni). Beer was great fro pale ales to stout. Tuesday was tamale night and I highly recommend a $4 tamale and a beer. We left with beer, homemade pimento cheese and a TShirt. I'll visit again when I return for football read more

Clemson's best brewery I really like it here. I've come twice, once on their busy opening Saturday and then on a relatively quiet Tuesday evening. Both times I was happy and impressed, and left with a take-home six pack of beer. It's a wonderful inside area with some cool personality, lots of Clemson identity, and the small of malts in the air. The outdoor area is really pleasant, and I spent at least two hours there with friends on a warm summer day. Perfection. I've tried every beer they've released so far and none were bad. I really, really like the You're Outta Control, which is a collaboration with a brewery in Asheville. Hoppy, some pine, plenty of grapefruit. I liked their Bring Your Own Haze IPA, which is what I drank the most. The kolsh pleased my girlfriend, and they have some cool cucumber selzers to try, too. Flights are pretty cheap, so you should try them all. Overall was very happy here. Haven't tried the food but will check back then. All in all, a great addition to the Clemson community. read more

This is a great brewery option. The beer is cold and well priced: tons of outdoor seating. They didn't have a lot of non beer options for the girl but there did have a La Croix. The child ordered a pretzel and it was delicious and the mustard was great! read more

Cool spot with indoor and outdoor seating good beers and wine and a nice simple food menu but everything we tried was fresh and tasty.

We play Trivia on Tuesdays. Fun atmosphere, great beers/beverages, and the food is awesome! We are making our way through the menu but I keep getting the muffuletta! read more

You're headed to a brewery so it'd be rude not too mention the fantastic local pints we had. If you like IPAs then you'll no doubt love the Frequency Modulated. I like IPAs but I don't love them, but I do love Dress Jorts!, and the Kolsch, and the Stumphouse Stout that was surprisingly refreshing on a hot end of summer day. The food was also fantastic, the soft pretzel was accompanied by the best grainy spicy mustard I've ever tasted and the muffuletta had a perfect crunch exterior with a warm ham, salami, capicola, cheese, and olive salad interior that was expertly balanced. I am rarely in the area but I'll be going out of my way to come back again in the near future, gotta get me some more Dress Jorts to take home! read more

Best homemade mustard! Very spicy! Very nice! Pimento cheese two thumbs up! Five stars!

Great local brewery open by a Clemson alum. We ordered the Refresh cucumber lime seltzer which was very refreshing, the frequency modulation IPA and a pimento cheese. The IPA was perfectly metallic and funky. The space is space has been thoughtfully decorated. The tasting room has some cool and classy touches like a topographical map carved in word. Check this place out if you're looking for a chill place to drink fresh brewed beer. read more

Awesome Brewery. Fun vibe. Good snack type food. Especially like the trout dip with a Frequently Modulated.

Joy is ahmazing!!! This brewery is the exact thing this area needs! Their bathrooms aren't gendered so you can go when you need to!

Sat at the bar.... Was ignored for 10 minutes. Finally asked how to get a beer and was told to get in line. Sat down after ordering only to watch other people get served at the bar.... Baffled! read more
