What locals are saying
Low Tide Brewing is regarded as a Johns Island institution — the area's first brewery — and locals consistently praise its rotating craft taps, especially sours and fruited ales, along with a friendly, knowledgeable staff. However, regulars have flagged a noticeable drop in atmosphere after the brewery reduced its front outdoor seating, moved food trucks to the rear of the property, and banned dogs (effective June 2023), leaving many longtime fans feeling the laid-back outdoor charm that defined the place has been lost. Beer quality remains a draw, but the experience at the taproom itself is seen as a step down from what it once was.
