Word on the street
What locals are saying
Indigo Reef Brewing Company sits off Clements Ferry Road in the northern Daniel Island/Cainhoy corridor — deliberately off the tourist trail, which suits its regulars just fine. Owner and head brewer Christopher Ranere is a self-described traditionalist who built the 14-tap lineup around clean technique and rotating variety rather than novelty stunts: no fruit-loops gimmicks, just well-executed cream ales, honey blondes, and a deep IPA bench that keeps the tap list fresh. The space — airy taproom plus a courtyard — earns consistent praise for cleanliness and a genuine neighborhood feel, though a few visitors have noted the staff can get more absorbed in their own conversations than in turning service.
