Two Blokes Brewing is crossing the bridge. The Mount Pleasant brewery, which opened on Long Point Road a decade ago, is adding a second location at 114 Cannon Street, in a 19th-century building steps from the Medical University of South Carolina. It's the heart of Cannonborough-Elliotborough, and it gives Two Blokes something it never had: an easy-to-reach downtown room.
The new taproom seats 50, with a covered patio and a small-batch system dedicated to experimental and specialty releases. The core beers keep flowing out of Mount Pleasant under brewers David Seyler and Caleb Jurecki, so this isn't a relocation. It's a second front.
There's a backstory worth knowing. Rhett and Haley Anderson bought Two Blokes in 2023 from Evelyn Kofler, who sold three years after her husband and original owner, Matty Symons, died. The Andersons say expansion was always the plan, but the reason was specific: the brewery had a devoted following and a location that made it hard to reach.
"As the brewery was growing, so was our sense of responsibility to this community and our belief that downtown deserved a space where locals and visitors alike could experience what we're truly about," Rhett Anderson told the Post & Courier. "Not just great beer, but connection, creativity and a genuine sense of community."
Construction is nearly done, and Anderson says the opening is "right around the corner." For a downtown that has watched plenty of concepts come and go, a proven Mount Pleasant operator moving into a historic building near MUSC reads like a safe bet.
